Build artifacts are in bin/
bin/zot serve _config-file_
Examples of config files are available in examples/ dir.
The Dockerfile in this repo can be used to build a container image that runs zot.
To build the image with ref zot:latest
:
make image
Then run the image with your preferred container runtime:
# with podman
podman run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd)/registry:/var/lib/registry zot:latest
# with docker
docker run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd)/registry:/var/lib/registry zot:latest
This will run a registry at http://localhost:5000, storing content at ./registry
(bind mounted to /var/lib/registry
in the container). By default, auth is disabled.
If you wish use custom configuration settings, you can override
the YAML config file located at /etc/zot/config.yml
:
# Example: using a local file "custom-config.yml" that
# listens on port 8080 and uses /tmp/zot for storage root
podman run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
-v $(pwd)/custom-config.yml:/etc/zot/config.yml \
-v $(pwd)/registry:/tmp/zot \
zot:latest
You can interact with the zot registry server using the zli
binary.
$ make cli
will produce bin/zli
binary.
To add a zot server URL with an alias "remote-zot":
$ zli config add remote-zot https://server-example:8080
List all configured URLs with their aliases:
$ zli config -l
remote-zot https://server-example:8080
local http://localhost:8080
You can list all images from a server by using its alias specified in this step:
$ zli images remote-zot

Periodically pull and synchronize images between zot registries. The synchronization is achieved by copying all the images found at source to destination. To use it see sync-config Supports:
- TLS verification
- Prefix filtering (can contain multiple repos, eg repo1/repoX/repoZ)
- Tags regex filtering
- Tags semver compliance filtering (the 'v' prefix is optional)
- BASIC auth
- Image signatures
You can benchmark a zot registry or any other dist-spec conformant registry with zb
.
$ make bench
will produce bin/zb
binary.

skopeo is a tool to work with remote image repositories.
- Pull Images
skopeo copy docker://<zot-server:port>/repo:tag docker://<another-server:port>/repo:tag
- Push Images
skopeo copy --format=oci docker://<another-server:port>/repo:tag docker://<zot-server:port>/repo:tag
cri-o is a OCI-based Kubernetes container runtime interface.
Works with "docker://" transport which is the default.
Can be used for both dist-spec-only zot & the zot with all extensions enabled
The dist-spec-only zot exposes internal metrics into a Prometheus format through a node exporter. The configuration of node exporter contains connection details for the zot server it is intend to scrape metrics from. See a configuration example. The metrics are automatically enabled in the zot server on first scrape from the Node Exporter (no extra configuration option is needed). Similarly, the metrics are automatically disabled when Node Exporter did not perform any scrapings in a while.
bin/zxp config _config-file_
In the zot with all extensions case see configuration example for enabling metrics
zot supports clustering by using multiple stateless zot with shared s3 storage and a haproxy (with sticky session) in front of them.
- haproxy configuration example
- zot s3 configuration example
