Container Registry Guide

After building your Flexo image, you'll need to push it to a container registry. This guide covers the main registry options and their setup.

Example Registries:

IBM Container Registry

Best for IBM Cloud deployments:

  • Native integration with IBM Cloud
  • Built-in vulnerability scanning
  • Regional endpoints for faster pulls

Universal option for all platforms:

  • Free public repositories
  • Simple authentication

General Process

  1. Tag your image: 

    # Format: registry/namespace/repository:tag
docker tag flexo:latest <registry-url>/<namespace>/flexo:latest

  2. Authenticate: 

    # For IBM Container Registry
ibmcloud cr login

# For Docker Hub
docker login

  3. Push image: 

    docker push <registry-url>/<namespace>/flexo:latest

Security Best Practices

  • Use unique credentials for automation
  • Regularly rotate registry credentials
  • Scan images for vulnerabilities
  • Use specific tags instead of 'latest'
