## docker-registry-proxy

### TL,DR

## TL,DR
|
||||
|
||||
A caching proxy for Docker; allows centralised management of (multiple) registries and their authentication; caches images from *any* registry.
|
||||
|
||||
### What?
|
||||
## What?
|
||||
|
||||
Essentially, it's a [man in the middle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack): an intercepting proxy based on `nginx`, to which all docker traffic is directed using the `HTTPS_PROXY` mechanism and injected CA root certificates.

for this to work it requires inserting a root CA certificate into system trusted root certs.

## master is unstable/beta
|
||||
|
||||
- `master` (and `:latest` Docker tag) is unstable
|
||||
- Currently, stable version is `0.3.0`, see [0.3.0 tag on Github](https://github.com/rpardini/docker-registry-proxy/tree/0.3.0)
|
||||
|
||||
### Usage
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
- Run the proxy on a host close (network-wise: high bandwidth, same-VPC, etc) to the Docker clients
|
||||
- Expose port 3128 to the network
|
||||
- Map volume `/docker_mirror_cache` for up to `CACHE_MAX_SIZE` (32gb by default) of cached images across all cached registries
|
||||
- Map volume `/ca`, the proxy will store the CA certificate here across restarts. **Important** this is security sensitive.
|
||||
- Env `CACHE_MAX_SIZE` (default `32g`): set the max size to be used for caching local Docker image layers. Use [Nginx sizes](http://nginx.org/en/docs/syntax.html).
|
||||
- Env `REGISTRIES`: space separated list of registries to cache; no need to include Docker Hub, its already there.
|
||||
- Env `REGISTRIES`: space separated list of registries to cache; no need to include DockerHub, its already done internally.
|
||||
- Env `AUTH_REGISTRIES`: space separated list of `hostname:username:password` authentication info.
|
||||
- `hostname`s listed here should be listed in the REGISTRIES environment as well, so they can be intercepted.
|
||||
- Env `AUTH_REGISTRIES_DELIMITER` to change the separator between authentication info. By default, a space: "` `". If you use keys that contain spaces (as with Google Cloud Registry), you should update this variable, e.g. setting it to `AUTH_REGISTRIES_DELIMITER=";;;"`. In that case, `AUTH_REGISTRIES` could contain something like `registry1.com:user1:pass1;;;registry2.com:user2:pass2`.
|
||||
- Env `AUTH_REGISTRY_DELIMITER` to change the separator between authentication info *parts*. By default, a colon: "`:`". If you use keys that contain single colons, you should update this variable, e.g. setting it to `AUTH_REGISTRIES_DELIMITER=":::"`. In that case, `AUTH_REGISTRIES` could contain something like `registry1.com:::user1:::pass1 registry2.com:::user2:::pass2`.

Yes, Docker offers [Registry as a pull through cache](https://docs.docker.com/registry/recipes/mirror/), *unfortunately*
|

it only covers the DockerHub case. It won't cache images from `quay.io`, `k8s.gcr.io`, `gcr.io`, or any such, including any private registries.
