Setup Private Docker Registry

To host your own images, you can set up a private registry using Python-based tools and Nginx as a proxy.

Components

• Backend: Install docker-registry via pip.
• Service: Use an Upstart script to manage the Gunicorn process on port 5000.
• Proxy: Configure Nginx to handle HTTPS and Basic Authentication.

Security Tips

• Use auth_basic in Nginx to restrict access.
• Disable any limits for client_max_body_size to avoid 413 errors during large image uploads.
• Ensure chunked_transfer_encoding is on for newer versions of Nginx.
