Install Docker Registry Manager

You have a docker registry currently running and contain many images. The steps to install it through the Docker-Compose.

# git clone https://github.com/snagles/docker-registry-manager.git && cd docker-registry-manager
# vim registries.yml # add your registry

Registries.yml Example
registries:
Registry:
url: http://localhost # Example https://localhost, http://remotehost.com
port: 5000 # Example: 443, 8080, 5000
username: exampleUser
password: examplePassword
refresh-rate: “5m” # Example: 60s, 5m, 1h
skip-tls-validation: true # REQUIRED for self signed certificates
dockerhub-integration: true # Optional – compares to dockerhub to determine if image up to date

# vim docker-compose.yml # Edit application settings e.g log level, port

Environment Options:
MANAGER_PORT: Port to run on inside the docker container
MANAGER_REGISTRIES: Registries.yml file location inside the docker container
MANAGER_LOG_LEVEL: Log level for logs (fatal, panic, error, warn, info, debug)
MANAGER_ENABLE_HTTPS: true/false for using HTTPS.
MANAGER_KEY: key file location inside the docker container
MANAGER_CERTIFICATE: Certificate location inside the docker container

# sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.22.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
# sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
# docker-compose up -d

Now you can connect it <host>:8080
