nerdctl uses ${DOCKER_CONFIG}/config.json
for the authentication with image registries.
$DOCKER_CONFIG
defaults to $HOME/.docker
.
If you face http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client
and you cannot configure TLS for the registry, try --insecure-registry
flag:
e.g.,
$ nerdctl --insecure-registry run --rm 192.168.12.34:5000/foo

Create ~/.config/containerd/certs.d/<HOST:PORT>/hosts.toml
(or /etc/containerd/certs.d/...
for rootful) to specify ca
certificates.
# An example of ~/.config/containerd/certs.d/192.168.12.34:5000/hosts.toml
# (The path is "/etc/containerd/certs.d/192.168.12.34:5000/hosts.toml" for rootful)
server = "https://192.168.12.34:5000"
[host."https://192.168.12.34:5000"]
ca = "/path/to/ca.crt"
See https://github.com/containerd/containerd/blob/main/docs/hosts.md for the syntax of hosts.toml
.
Docker-style directories are also supported.
The path is ~/.config/docker/certs.d
for rootless, /etc/docker/certs.d
for rootful.
Currently, rootless nerdctl cannot pull images from 127.0.0.1, because the pull operation occurs in RootlessKit's network namespace.
See #86 for the discussion about workarounds.

Login Succeeded
Alternative method: docker-credential-ecr-login
This methods is more secure but needs an external dependency.
Install docker-credential-ecr-login
from https://github.com/awslabs/amazon-ecr-credential-helper , and create the following files:
~/.docker/config.json
:
{
"credHelpers": {
"public.ecr.aws": "ecr-login",
"<AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.dkr.ecr.<REGION>.amazonaws.com": "ecr-login"
}
}
~/.aws/credentials
:
[default]
aws_access_key_id = ...
aws_secret_access_key = ...
Note: If you are running nerdctl inside a VM (including Lima, Colima, Rancher Desktop, and WSL2),
docker-credential-ecr-login
has to be installed inside the guest, not the host. Same applies to the path of~/.docker/config.json
and~/.aws/credentials
, too.
You have to create a repository via https://console.aws.amazon.com/ecr/home/ .
$ nerdctl tag hello-world <AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.dkr.ecr.<REGION>.amazonaws.com/<REPO>
$ nerdctl push <AWS_ACCOUNT_ID>.dkr.ecr.<REGION>.amazonaws.com/<REPO>
The pushed image appears in the repository you manually created in the previous step.
See also https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/container-registry/#overview
You have to create a "Container registry" resource manually via the Azure portal.
$ nerdctl login -u <USERNAME> <REGISTRY>.azurecr.io
Enter Password: ********[Enter]
Login Succeeded
The login credentials can be found as "Access keys" in the Azure portal. See also https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/container-registry-authentication .
Note: nerdctl prior to v0.16.1 had a bug that required pressing the Enter key twice.
You do not need to create a repo explicitly.
$ nerdctl tag hello-world <REGISTRY>.azurecr.io/hello-world
$ nerdctl push <REGISTRY>.azurecr.io/hello-world
The pushed image appears in the Azure portal. Private as default.

$ nerdctl login -u <USERNAME>
Enter Password: ********[Enter]
Login Succeeded
Note: nerdctl prior to v0.16.1 had a bug that required pressing the Enter key twice.
You do not need to create a repo explicitly, for public images.
To create a private repo, see https://hub.docker.com/repositories .
$ nerdctl tag hello-world <USERNAME>/hello-world
$ nerdctl push <USERNAME>/hello-world
The pushed image appears in https://hub.docker.com/repositories . Public by default.
$ nerdctl login ghcr.io -u <USERNAME>
Enter Password: ********[Enter]
Login Succeeded
The <USERNAME>
is your GitHub username but in lower characters.
The "Password" here is a GitHub Personal access token, with read:packages
and write:packages
scopes.
Note: nerdctl prior to v0.16.1 had a bug that required pressing the Enter key twice.
You do not need to create a repo explicitly.
$ nerdctl tag hello-world ghcr.io/<USERNAME>/hello-world
$ nerdctl push ghcr.io/<USERNAME>/hello-world
The pushed image appears in the "Packages" tab of your GitHub profile. Private as default.
See also https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/packages/container_registry/
$ nerdctl login registry.gitlab.com -u <USERNAME>
Enter Password: ********[Enter]
Login Succeeded
The <USERNAME>
is your GitLab username.
The "Password" here is either a GitLab Personal access token or a GitLab Deploy token. Both options require minimum scope of read_registry
for pull access and both write_registry
and read_registry
scopes for push access.
Note: nerdctl prior to v0.16.1 had a bug that required pressing the Enter key twice.
Container registries in GitLab are created at the project level. A project in GitLab must exist first before you begin working with its container registry.
In this example we have created a GitLab project named myproject
.
$ nerdctl tag hello-world registry.gitlab.com/<USERNAME>/myproject/hello-world:latest
$ nerdctl push registry.gitlab.com/<USERNAME>/myproject/hello-world:latest
The pushed image appears under the "Packages & Registries -> Container Registry" tab of your project on GitLab.
