Building Web Frontend/UI for Local Docker Registry using Portus
Portus is an authorization server and a user interface for the next generation of the Docker registry. Portus targets version 2 of the Docker Registry API. The minimum required version of Registry is 2.1, which is the first version supporting soft deletes of blobs.
If you are looking out for Web UI for your private Docker Registry, I would recommend to test-drive a tool called “Portus” powered by SUSE Team. Portus provides a useful and powerful UI on top of your registry. It is an open source authorization service and a user interface for the next generation of the Docker registry. Portus targets version 2 of the Docker Registry API.

Pre-requisite
- Install Docker
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ | sh
Installing Docker Compose
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.23.2/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
Create Docker Registry
docker run -d \
-p 2000:2000 \
--restart=always \
--name registry \
-v /mnt/registry:/var/lib/registry \
registry:2
Cloning the Repository
git clone https://github.com/SUSE/Portus
Change directory into the cloned folder
cd Portus
Bring up Portus Application
docker-compose up -d
Verifying the Portus services
docker-compose ps

Provide Docker Registry Details
Once you login to Portus, you will need to provide Docker Registry details:
- Name
- <Your Host IP or Hostname>: 2000
Please remember that Portus is designed to handle only a single private Registry.
Creating Users & Team
Say, you have 4-5 teams inside your organization namely,
- DB Team
- HPC Team
- Solutions Team
- Advisor Team
- Virtualization Team
First, create user who would be point of contact for each of these teams who will be pushing their Docker Image. Then, create team names accordingly.
