Create a Registry

This guide explains how to create a Container Registry using the CloudRaya Control Panel.

A registry is a private image repository used to store and distribute container images for Kubernetes (KubeRaya), CI/CD pipelines, and VM-based container workloads.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

An active CloudRaya account
Access to the CloudRaya Control Panel
A project selected

From the CloudRaya Control Panel home page, select your active Project
Navigate to Storage → CloudRaya Container Registry

You will see a list of all registries in the selected project.

Step 2: View Existing Registries

On the Container Registry page, you can:

View all existing registries
Copy registry endpoint URLs
Open registry details
Create a new registry

If no registry exists yet, the list will appear empty.

Step 3: Create a New Registry

Click + Add Registry to open the creation dialog.

Step 4: Configure Registry Settings

Registry Name

Used as the registry identifier
Appears in registry endpoint URLs
Must be unique within the project

Example:

my-registry

Registry Credentials (Password)

This password is used to authenticate container clients such as Docker, containerd, and Podman.

Password requirements:

Minimum 8 characters
Must include:
- At least 1 lowercase letter
- At least 1 uppercase letter
- At least 1 numeric character

You must confirm the password before continuing.

🔐 Security Note

Treat this password as a registry secret. Anyone with this password can push and pull images from the registry.

Storage Size

Defines the maximum storage capacity for the registry
Can be adjusted later as your image library grows

Free Storage Benefit

Each CloudRaya account includes:

🎁 10GB of free registry storage

This free quota is automatically applied to your account and reflected in billing.

Step 5: Review Pricing

Before creating the registry, CloudRaya displays:

Hourly cost
Allocated storage size
Free quota usage

This allows you to review cost impact before confirming.

Step 6: Create the Registry

Click Save to create the registry.

Once completed:

The registry appears in the registry list
A registry endpoint URL is generated
The registry is ready to accept container images

After the Registry Is Created

You can now:

Authenticate using Docker or other container tools
Push and pull container images
Integrate the registry with KubeRaya (CloudRaya Kubernetes)
Adjust storage capacity
Rotate registry credentials if needed

Important Notes

The Container Registry is private by default
Access requires explicit authentication
Registry credentials are separate from your CloudRaya account login
