This API allows you to manage your Container Registry resources.

Image management commands

An image represents a container image. A container image is a file that includes all the requirements and instructions of a complete and executable version of an application. When running, it becomes one or multiple instances of that application.

The visibility of an image can be public - when anyone can pull it, private - when only users within your organization can pull it, or inherited from the namespace visibility - which is the default. The visibility of your image can be changed using the update image endpoit.

Delete an image

Delete a given image. You must specify, in the endpoint, the region and image_id parameters of the image you want to delete.

Usage:

scw registry image delete <image-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Args:

NameDescription
image-idRequiredUUID of the image
regionDefault: fr-par
One of: fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw
Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config

Get an image

Retrieve information about a given container image, specified by its image_id and region. Full details about the image, such as name, namespace_id, status, visibility, and size are returned in the response.

Usage:

scw registry image get <image-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Args:

NameDescription
image-idRequiredUUID of the image
regionDefault: fr-par
One of: fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw
Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config

List images

List all images in a specified region. By default, the images listed are ordered by creation date in ascending order. This can be modified via the order_by field. You can also define additional parameters for your query, such as the namespace_id and project_id parameters.

Usage:

scw registry image list [arg=value ...]

Args:

NameDescription
order-byOne of: created_at_asc, created_at_desc, name_asc, name_descCriteria to use when ordering image listings. Possible values are created_at_asc, created_at_desc, name_asc, name_desc, region, status_asc and status_desc. The default value is created_at_asc.
namespace-idFilter by the namespace ID
nameFilter by the image name (exact match)
project-idFilter by Project ID
organization-idFilter by Organization ID
regionDefault: fr-par
One of: fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw, all
Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config

Update an image

Update the parameters of a given image, specified by its image_id and region. You can update the visibility parameter.

Usage:

scw registry image update <image-id ...> [arg=value ...]

Args:

NameDescription
image-idRequiredID of the image to update
visibilityOne of: visibility_unknown, inherit, public, privateSet to public to allow the image to be pulled without authentication. Else, set to private. Set to inherit to keep the same visibility configuration as the namespace
regionDefault: fr-par
One of: fr-par, nl-ams, pl-waw
Region to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config

Install a local Docker credential helper

This command will install the Docker credential helper for your account.

It will create a new script named docker-credential-scw. This script will be called each time Docker needs the credentials and will return the correct credentials. It avoid running docker login commands.

Args:

NameDescription
pathDefault: /usr/local/binDirectory in which the Docker helper will be installed. This directory should be in your $PATH

Login to a registry

This command will run the correct command in order to log you in on the registry with the chosen program. You will need to have the chosen binary installed on your system and in your PATH.

One of: docker, podman
Program used to log in to the namespace
regionDefault: fr-parRegion to target. If none is passed will use default region from the config

Namespace management commands

A namespace is a collection of container images, each bearing the unique identifier of that namespace. A namespace can be either public or private, by default.

Each namespace must have a globally unique name within its region. This means no namespaces in the same region can bear the same name.

You can use namespace privacy policies to specify whether everyone has the right to pull an image from a namespace or not. When an image is in a public namespace, anyone is able to pull it. You can set your namespace to private if you want to restrict access.

Create a namespace

Create a new Container Registry namespace. You must specify the namespace name and region in which you want it to be created. Optionally, you can specify the project_id and is_public in the request payload.

Usage:

scw registry namespace create [arg=value ...]

Args:

NameDescription
nameRequired
Default: <generated>
Name of the namespace
descriptionDescription of the namespace
project-idProject ID to use. If none is passed the default project ID will be used
is-publicDefines whether or not namespace is public
organization-idOrganization ID to use. If none is passed the default organization ID will be used
