The behavior of _zot_ registry is controlled via its configuration file, which can either be a JSON (used in details below) or YAML file. ``` zot serve ``` A candidate configuration file can be verified via: ``` zot verify ``` Examples of working configurations for various use cases are available [here](../examples/) # Configuration Parameters * [Network](#network) * [Storage](#storage) * [Authentication](#authentication) * [Identity-based Authorization](#identity-based-authorization) * [Logging](#logging) * [Metrics](#metrics) * [Sync](#sync) ## Network Configure network params with: ``` "http": { ``` Configure address and port to listen on with: ``` "address": "127.0.0.1", "port": "5000", ``` Additionally, TLS configuration can be specified with: ``` "tls": { "cert":"test/data/server.cert", "key":"test/data/server.key" }, ``` ## Storage Configure storage with: ``` "storage": { ``` Configure storage root directory with: ``` "rootDirectory": "/tmp/zot", ``` Often, container images have shared layers and blobs and for filesystems that support hard links, inline deduplication can be enabled with: ``` "dedupe": true, ``` When an image is deleted (either by tag or reference), orphaned blobs can lead to wasted storage, and background garbage collection can be enabled with: ``` "gc": true, ``` It is also possible to store and serve images from multiple filesystems with their own repository paths, dedupe and garbage collection settings with: ``` "subPaths": { "/a": { "rootDirectory": "/tmp/zot1", "dedupe": true, "gc": true }, "/b": { "rootDirectory": "/tmp/zot2", "dedupe": true }, "/c": { "rootDirectory": "/tmp/zot3", "dedupe": false } } }, ``` ## Authentication TLS mutual authentication and passphrase-based authentication are supported. ### TLS Mutual Authentication Apart from the server cert and key specified under [network configuration](#network), specifying the _cacert_ field enables TLS mutual authentication: ``` "http": { "tls": { "cert":"test/data/server.cert", "key":"test/data/server.key", "cacert":"test/data/cacert.cert" }, ``` ### Passphrase Authentication **Local authentication** is supported via htpasswd file with: ``` "http": { "auth": { "htpasswd": { "path": "test/data/htpasswd" }, ``` **LDAP authentication** can be configured with: ``` "http": { "auth": { "ldap": { "address":"ldap.example.org", "port":389, "startTLS":false, "baseDN":"ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org", "userAttribute":"uid", "bindDN":"cn=ldap-searcher,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=org", "bindPassword":"ldap-searcher-password", "skipVerify":false, "subtreeSearch":true }, ``` NOTE: When both htpasswd and LDAP configuration are specified, LDAP authentication is given preference. **OAuth2 authentication** (client credentials grant type) support via _Bearer Token_ configured with: ``` "http": { "auth": { "bearer": { "realm": "https://auth.myreg.io/auth/token", "service": "myauth", "cert": "/etc/zot/auth.crt" } ``` #### Authentication Failures Should authentication fail, to prevent automated attacks, a delayed response can be configured with: ``` "http": { "auth": { "failDelay": 5 ``` ## Identity-based Authorization Allowing actions on one or more repository paths can be tied to user identities. Two additional per-repository policies can be specified for identities not in the whitelist: - anonymousPolicy - applied for unathenticated users. - defaultPolicy - applied for authenticated users. Furthermore, a global admin policy can also be specified which can override per-repository policies. Glob patterns can also be used as repository paths. Authorization is granted based on the longest path matched. For example repos2/repo repository will match both "**" and "repos2/repo" keys, in such case repos2/repo policy will be used because it's longer. Because we use longest path matching we need a way to specify a global policy to override all the other policies. For example, we can specify a global policy with "**" (will match all repos), but any other policy will overwrite it, because it will be longer. So that's why we have the option to specify an adminPolicy. Basically '**' means repositories not matched by any other per-repository policy. Method-based action list: - "read" - list/pull images - "create" - push images (needs "read") - "update" - overwrite tags (needs "read" and "create") - "delete" - delete images (needs "read") Behaviour-based action list - "detectManifestCollision" - delete manifest by digest will throw an error if multiple manifests have the same digest (needs "read" and "delete") ``` "accessControl": { "**": { # matches all repos (which are not matched by any other per-repository policy) "policies": [ # user based policies { "users": ["charlie"], "actions": ["read", "create", "update"] } ], "defaultPolicy": ["read", "create", "delete", "detectManifestCollision"], # default policy which is applied for authenticated users, other than "charlie"=> so these users can read/create/delete repositories and also can detect manifests collision. "anonymousPolicy": ["read"] # anonymous policy which is applied for unauthenticated users => so they can read repositories }, "tmp/**": { # matches all repos under tmp/ recursively "defaultPolicy": ["read", "create", "update"] # so all users have read/create/update on all repos under tmp/ eg: tmp/infra/repo }, "infra/*": { # matches all repos directly under infra/ (not recursively) "policies": [ { "users": ["alice", "bob"], "actions": ["create", "read", "update", "delete"] }, { "users": ["mallory"], "actions": ["create", "read"] } ], "defaultPolicy": ["read"] }, "repos2/repo": { # matches only repos2/repo repository "policies": [ { "users": ["bob"], "actions": ["read", "create"] }, { "users": ["mallory"], "actions": ["create", "read"] } ], "defaultPolicy": ["read"] }, "adminPolicy": { # global admin policy (overrides per-repo policy) "users": ["admin"], "actions": ["read", "create", "update", "delete"] } } ``` ## Logging Enable and configure logging with: ``` "log":{ ``` Set log level with: ``` "level":"debug", ``` Set output file (default is _stdout_) with: ``` "output":"/tmp/zot.log", ``` Enable audit logs and set output file with: ``` "audit": "/tmp/zot-audit.log" } ``` ## Metrics Enable and configure metrics with: ``` "metrics":{ "enable":"true", ``` Set server path on which metrics will be exposed: ``` "prometheus": { "path": "/metrics" } } ``` In order to test the Metrics feature locally in a [Kind](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) cluster, folow [this guide](metrics/README.md). ## Storage Drivers Beside filesystem storage backend, zot also supports S3 storage backend, check below url to see how to configure it: - [s3 config](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/registry/storage-drivers/s3.md): A driver storing objects in an Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket. For an s3 zot configuration with multiple storage drivers see: [s3-config](config-s3.json). zot also supports different storage drivers for each subpath. ### S3 permissions scopes The following AWS policy is required by zot for push and pull. Make sure to replace S3_BUCKET_NAME with the name of your bucket. { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:ListBucket", "s3:GetBucketLocation", "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::S3_BUCKET_NAME" }, { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:PutObject", "s3:GetObject", "s3:DeleteObject", "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts", "s3:AbortMultipartUpload" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::S3_BUCKET_NAME/*" } ] } ### Specifying S3 credentials - Config file: ``` "storage": { "rootDirectory": "/tmp/zot", # local path used to store dedupe cache database "dedupe": true, "storageDriver": { "name": "s3", "rootdirectory": "/zot", # this is a prefix that is applied to all S3 keys to allow you to segment data in your bucket if necessary. "region": "us-east-2", "bucket": "zot-storage", "secure": true, "skipverify": false, "accesskey": "", "secretkey": "" } ``` There are multiple ways to specify S3 credentials besides config file: - Environment variables: SDK looks for credentials in the following environment variables: ``` AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY AWS_SESSION_TOKEN (optional) ``` - Credentials file: A credential file is a plaintext file that contains your access keys. The file must be on the same machine on which you’re running your application. The file must be named credentials and located in the .aws/ folder in your home directory. ``` [default] aws_access_key_id = aws_secret_access_key = [test-account] aws_access_key_id = aws_secret_access_key = [prod-account] ; work profile aws_access_key_id = aws_secret_access_key = ``` The [default] heading defines credentials for the default profile, which the SDK will use unless you configure it to use another profile. To specify a profile use AWS_PROFILE environment variable: ``` AWS_PROFILE=test-account ``` For more details see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-go/v1/developer-guide/configuring-sdk.html#specifying-credentials ## Cache drivers zot supports two types of cache drivers: boltdb which is local and dynamodb which is remote. They are used when dedupe is enabled to store duplicate blobs. ### BoltDB Like s3 configuration, if you don't specify a cache driver it will default to 'boltdb' and it wil be stored in zot's root directory or subpath root directory ``` "storage": { "rootDirectory": "/tmp/zot", "dedupe": true } ``` boltdb can be found at /tmp/zot/cache.db ### DynamoDB To set up a zot with dedupe enabled and dynamodb as a cache driver, "cacheDriver" field should be included under 'storage' ``` "storage": { "rootDirectory": "/tmp/zot", "dedupe": true, "remoteCache": true, "cacheDriver": { "name": "dynamodb", // driver name "endpoint": "http://localhost:4566", // aws endpoint "region": "us-east-2" // aws region "cacheTablename": "ZotBlobTable" // table used to store deduped blobs } }, ``` Like s3 configuration AWS GO SDK will load additional config and credentials values from the environment variables, shared credentials, and shared configuration files Additionally if search extension is enabled, additional parameters are needed: ``` "cacheDriver": { "name": "dynamodb", "endpoint": "http://localhost:4566", "region": "us-east-2", "cacheTablename": "ZotBlobTable", // used by search extensions "repoMetaTablename": "ZotRepoMetadataTable", "manifestDataTablename": "ZotManifestDataTable", "userDataTablename": "ZotUserDataTable", "versionTablename": "ZotVersion" } ``` ### DynamoDB permission scopes The following AWS policy is required by zot for caching blobs. Make sure to replace DYNAMODB_TABLE with the name of your table which in our case is the value of "cacheTablename" (ZotBlobTable) { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "dynamodb:CreateTable", "dynamodb:GetItem", "dynamodb:UpdateItem", "dynamodb:DeleteItem" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:dynamodb:*:*:table/DYNAMODB_TABLE" } ] } ## Sync Enable and configure sync with: ``` "sync": { ``` Configure credentials for upstream registries: ``` "credentialsFile": "./examples/sync-auth-filepath.json", ``` Configure each registry sync: ``` "registries": [{ "urls": ["https://registry1:5000"], "onDemand": false, # pull any image which the local registry doesn't have "pollInterval": "6h", # polling interval, if not set then periodically polling will not run "tlsVerify": true, # whether or not to verify tls (default is true) "certDir": "/home/user/certs", # use certificates at certDir path, if not specified then use the default certs dir "maxRetries": 5, # maxRetries in case of temporary errors (default: no retries) "retryDelay": "10m", # delay between retries, retry options are applied for both on demand and periodically sync and retryDelay is mandatory when using maxRetries. "onlySigned": true, # sync only signed images (either notary or cosign) "content":[ # which content to periodically pull, also it's used for filtering ondemand images, if not set then periodically polling will not run { "prefix":"/repo1/repo", # pull image repo1/repo "tags":{ # filter by tags "regex":"4.*", # filter tags by regex "semver":true # filter tags by semver compliance } }, { "prefix":"/repo2/repo*" # pull all images that matches repo2/repo.* }, { "prefix":"/repo3/**" # pull all images under repo3/ (matches recursively all repos under repo3/) }, { "prefix":"/repo1/repo", # pull /repo1/repo "destination":"/localrepo", # put /repo1/repo under /localrepo "stripPrefix":true # strip the path specified in "prefix", if true resulting /localpath, if false resulting /localrepo/repo1/repo" } { "prefix":"/repo1/**", # pull all images under repo1/ (matches recursively all repos under repo1/) "destination":"/localrepo", # put all images found under /localrepo. "stripPrefix":true # strip the path specified in "prefix" until meta-characters like "**". If we match /repo1/repo the local repo will be /localrepo/repo. } ] }, { "urls": ["https://registry2:5000", "https://registry3:5000"], // specify multiple URLs in case first encounters an error "pollInterval": "12h", "tlsVerify": false, "onDemand": false, "content":[ { "prefix":"/repo2", "tags":{ "semver":true } } ] }, { "urls": ["https://docker.io/library"], "onDemand": true, # doesn't have content, don't periodically pull, pull just on demand. "tlsVerify": true, "maxRetries": 3, "retryDelay": "15m" } ] } ``` Prefixes can be strings that exactly match repositories or they can be [glob](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)) patterns.
