Storaging Image on Private Repository/Create repository using DockerHUB API

Docker Hub
1

Hi guys, I currently need to push an image into my Dockerhub organization. To do so, this image needs to be stored in a private repository. I know that when pushing the image, Dockerhub creates a public repository for the image in question for versioning purposes by default.

I would like to know if it is possible to define that the repository it is in should be the default when pushing this image, or if there is a method within the DockerHub API to create the repository (via CURL, for example) before pushing the image (I am doing the entire workflow via Github Actions). For this reason, I would not like to have to create the repository via the graphical interface, but rather do everything via a pipeline (which is why I thought about using the DockerHub API).

The Docker Hub API reference can be found in the documentation

If it doesn’z mention creating a repository, it probably doesn’t support it.

If you need that feature, you can try to ask for it in the roadmap

Without trying to question your ways, just out of curiosity, can I ask why creating the private repository from a web browser is not an option? Do you have so many repositories dynamically created? As far as I know, repositories are normally precreated and configured and then multiple images (multiple versions or image variants of the software) is pushed using different tags to the repository dynamically.
