Minishift registry mirror

README.md

Minishift registry mirror on Windows

Prerequisites

• Windows 10
• Hyper-V installed
• Docker for Windows

Instructions

Setup the registry mirror

C:\>docker run -d --restart=always -p 5000:5000 --name registry-mirror registry:2 
C:\>docker exec -it registry-mirror vi /etc/docker/registry/config.yml

Add to the config

proxy:
   remoteurl: https://registry-1.docker.io
   username: [your username]
   password: [your password]

C:\>docker restart registry-mirror

Now test from your browser: http://10.0.75.1:5000/v2/_catalog

C:\>minishift config set check-network-ping-host 10.0.75.1
C:\>minishift config set check-network-http-host http://10.0.75.1:5000/v2/
C:\>minishift config set insecure-registry 10.0.75.1
C:\>minishift config set registry-mirror http://10.0.75.1:5000

C:\>set HYPERV_VIRTUAL_SWITCH=Wireless
C:\>minishift start

Now check if the mirror has images: http://10.0.75.1:5000/v2/_catalog

Note: Virtual switch does not have access to the DockerNAT network. Need to find a workaround.

Additional steps

You can also setup Docker for Windows to use the registry mirror. For this you need ot modify the settings using the Advanced configuration option:

{
  "registry-mirrors": [
    "http://10.0.75.1:5000"
  ],
  "insecure-registries": [
    "10.0.75.1"
  ],
  "debug": true,
  "experimental": true
}

This can be updated to utilize --no-provision to eliminate the need for D4W, and the actual install can be performed as an add-on
