I understand one way to share docker images is via Docker Hub. Is it possible to also register 3rd party image registries with Docker? For example I’d like to be able for Docker Desktop to automatically pull images from our private repositories on AWS. If that’s not possible. What’s the recommen…

As far as I know the registry related features in Docker Desktop are only for Docker Hub. Since we have Docker Extensions, one day someone may create a GUI for other registries too. If you can’t wait and you are interested in that, you can also create an extension yourself . I haven’t done it yet.

[image] eternal21: I know the pull part can be done with CLI commands, but I was hoping there was a way to simply add a registry and have Docker Desktop do the pulling itself Are you referring to the GUI part of Desktop? (I’ve never used such functionality in the GUI, didn’t even know it exis…

I still feel your question may be about Docker in general (say: docker run), not about Desktop in particular (which happens to provide Docker in some virtual machine for Mac and Windows). If true, then I don’t know the answer either but others (possibly people using Linux without Desktop) may know.

Ok, I wasn’t sure what you were getting at. Yes, this is not strictly a Docker Desktop issue. More of a general question then, about registering remote registries.

It’s my fault not making myself clear, because I’m new to both Docker and AWS. I also failed to mention I use docker compose at the moment to start a stack of about 8 different services. Some of them publicly available via Docker Hub (like MySql, Reddis, etc.), and some from a private repo in AWS …

Just add the ECR images using image: {aws_account_id}.dkr.ecr.{region}.amazonaws.com/{your-repo}:{your-tage} (everything in curly brackets must be replaced with their correct value) and make sure you used docker login before. Since the ECR credentials are only temporarily valid, you will have to rep…

@rimelek thanks for pitching in. I didn’t realize the docker compose plugin for my cli was broken when I was testing it and the build-in docker compose subcommand was executed instead.

Is it possible to use AWS ECR as Docker's Registry?

Docker Desktop

I was expecting there to be some way of registering remote repositories with Docker Desktop, so it would know where to pull images from automatically without me having to manually pull them. Looks like there is no such functionality at the moment. I guess like the other poster mentioned a custom extension could be one way of accomplishing that.
