# zot [](https://github.com/anuvu/zot/actions/workflows/ci-cd.yml) [](http://codecov.io/github/anuvu/zot?branch=master) [](https://github.com/anuvu/zot/actions?query=workflow%3Aconformance)
**zot** is a vendor-neutral OCI image registry server purely based on
[OCI Distribution Specification](https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec).
https://anuvu.github.io/zot/
[```docker pull ghcr.io/anuvu/zot:latest```](https://github.com/anuvu/zot/pkgs/container/zot)
[```docker run -p 5000:5000 ghcr.io/anuvu/zot:latest```](https://github.com/anuvu/zot/pkgs/container/zot)
# Features
* Conforms to [OCI distribution spec](https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec) APIs
* Clear separation between core dist-spec and zot-specific extensions
* ```make binary-minimal``` builds a dist-spec-only zot
* ```make binary``` builds a zot with all extensions enabled
* Uses [OCI image layout](https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/blob/master/image-layout.md) for image storage
* Can serve any OCI image layout as a registry
* Supports [helm charts](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/registries/)
* Behavior controlled via [configuration](./examples/README.md)
* Supports image deletion by tag
* Currently suitable for on-prem deployments (e.g. colocated with Kubernetes)
* Compatible with ecosystem tools such as [skopeo](#skopeo) and [cri-o](#cri-o)
* [Vulnerability scanning of images](#Scanning-images-for-known-vulnerabilities)
* [Command-line client support](#cli)
* TLS support
* Authentication via:
* TLS mutual authentication
* HTTP *Basic* (local _htpasswd_ and LDAP)
* HTTP *Bearer* token
* Supports Identity-Based Access Control
* Supports live modifications on the config file while zot is running (Authorization config only)
* Doesn't require _root_ privileges
* Storage optimizations:
* Automatic garbage collection of orphaned blobs
* Layer deduplication using hard links when content is identical
* Serve [multiple storage paths (and backends)](./examples/config-multiple.json) using a single zot server
* Swagger based documentation
* Single binary for _all_ the above features
* Released under Apache 2.0 License
* ```go get -u github.com/anuvu/zot/cmd/zot```

# Build and install binary (using host's toolchain)
```
go get -u github.com/anuvu/zot/cmd/zot
```
# Full CI/CD Build
* Build inside a container (preferred)
```
make binary-container
```
* Alternatively, build inside a container using [stacker](https://github.com/anuvu/stacker) (preferred)
```
make binary-stacker
```
* Build using host's toolchain
```
make
```
Build artifacts are in bin/
# Serving
```
bin/zot serve _config-file_
```
Examples of config files are available in [examples/](examples/) dir.
# Container Image
The [Dockerfile](./Dockerfile) in this repo can be used to build a container image
that runs _zot_.
To build the image with ref `zot:latest`:
```
make image
```
Then run the image with your preferred container runtime:
```
# with podman
podman run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd)/registry:/var/lib/registry zot:latest
# with docker
docker run --rm -it -p 5000:5000 -v $(pwd)/registry:/var/lib/registry zot:latest
```
This will run a registry at http://localhost:5000, storing content at `./registry`
(bind mounted to `/var/lib/registry` in the container). By default, auth is disabled.
If you wish use custom configuration settings, you can override
the YAML config file located at `/etc/zot/config.yml`:
```
# Example: using a local file "custom-config.yml" that
# listens on port 8080 and uses /tmp/zot for storage root
podman run --rm -p 8080:8080 \
-v $(pwd)/custom-config.yml:/etc/zot/config.yml \
-v $(pwd)/registry:/tmp/zot \
zot:latest
```
# CLI
The same zot binary can be used for interacting with any zot server instances.
## Adding a zot server URL
To add a zot server URL with an alias "remote-zot":
```console
$ zot config add remote-zot https://server-example:8080
```
List all configured URLs with their aliases:
```console
$ zot config -l
remote-zot https://server-example:8080
local http://localhost:8080
```
## Listing images
You can list all images from a server by using its alias specified [in this step](#adding-a-zot-server-url):
```console
$ zot images remote-zot
IMAGE NAME TAG DIGEST SIZE
postgres 9.6.18-alpine ef27f3e1 14.4MB
postgres 9.5-alpine 264450a7 14.4MB
busybox latest 414aeb86 707.8KB
```
Or filter the list by an image name:
```console
$ zot images remote-zot -n busybox
IMAGE NAME TAG DIGEST SIZE
busybox latest 414aeb86 707.8KB
```
## Scanning images for known vulnerabilities
You can fetch CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) info for images hosted on zot

# Ecosystem
## skopeo
[skopeo](https://github.com/containers/skopeo) is a tool to work with remote
image repositories.
* Pull Images
```
skopeo copy docker://<zot-server:port>/repo:tag docker://<another-server:port>/repo:tag
```
* Push Images
```

```
## cri-o
[cri-o](https://github.com/cri-o/cri-o) is a OCI-based Kubernetes container
runtime interface.
Works with "docker://" transport which is the default.
# Caveats
* go 1.12+
* The OCI distribution spec is still WIP, and we try to keep up
