Setting up a public mirror

But… its still painful in the office. Is there anything like a local mirror option or proxy option for Docker Hub?

Turns out the new Distribution project has a section on pull through caching hidden away. Re-posting this pseudo mirror information here in the hope someone finds it useful

@programmerq

The docs for doing it with the distribution (v2) registry can be found in the repo: https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/mirror.md

I followed those instructions a few weeks ago to set that up on my home network, and it works fairly well.

It isn’t a true mirror, but a caching proxy.
