Create Registry Token

This section shows you how to create a registry token. We assume the following prerequisite:

A container registry

In this guide, we used test named repository to create registry tokens. Therefore, it is important that the you know your container registry name.

With the POST request, you get the registry token. You will need to provide registry ID:

Request

Docker CLI

If you want to push your local images to docker repository, you need to login to it using:

docker login [OPTIONS] [SERVER]

You need to enter the following options to login:

Hostname
Username
Password

For more information, refer to the the Docker Commands.

You can push the images to your registry by providing all required information. You can query registries and look at images manifest, discover tags, delete layers and delete manifest etc. In the Docker API calls:

You can use the name of registry
Authenticate the API calls with a token

To know more, explore the Docker Documentation. On the other hand, DCD uses an easy to opt passthrough feature which as discussed uses Basic Auth feature, so you dont need to use a separate authentication method for Data Center Designer (DCD).
