docker registries

[whyrusleeping]

I think our big selling point for containers right now is the ability to have a distributed registry. I think that putting more time into documentation about how to set them up will be good, a detailed readme on how to set it up, what commands to run, things that might break, etc.

Also, I think we should look at sharing and combining ipns registries. How can I pull a docker image from your registry to mine just using the ipfs tool?

I think that if we can make it trvial to use ipfs to ship docker images, we are going to be in a really good place.

agreed. this may not play well with ipns not being super ready yet

Hi, I've just published a project that enables almost a seamless integration between docker and IPFS: https://github.com/jvassev/image2ipfs/. I guess you could be working on something similar and I'd be happy if you share more :)
What do you think about making the gateway speak the Registry v2 protocol on /v2?
