Create a local docker registry

1. Create skeleton config.yml to override defaults.

    version: 0.1
    log:
      fields:
        service: registry
    storage:
      cache:
        blobdescriptor: inmemory
      filesystem:
        rootdirectory: /var/lib/registry
    http:
      addr: :5000
      headers:
        X-Content-Type-Options: [nosniff]
    auth:
      htpasswd:
         realm: basic-realm
         path: /etc/registry
    health:
      storagedriver:
        enabled: true
        interval: 10s
        threshold: 3

2. Generate password for user.

    $ htpasswd -Bbn <user> <password>

3. Insert password into registry container's etc/registry.

    $ docker exec -it registry /bin/sh
    $ echo <username>:<password> >> /etc/registry

Error response from daemon: http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client

This can occur when pulling images. To fix from your local machine you must allow insecure access to registries:

1. Create/modify /etc/docker/daemon.json adding:

    { "insecure-registries":["registry-hostname:5000"] }

   replacing registry-hostname with the FQDN of your registry server.

2. Restart the docker daemon.

    $ sudo service docker restart
