Intro

We have prepared couple of examples for Artifactory newcomers how to start using docker repositories.

Please note that that Docker repositories functionality is NOT available in Artifactory OSS distribution.

Docker repositories via subdomain

This is preferred option for all TDS environments and almost every TDS customer has this option enabled and supported. This Sub Domain method uses  Artifactory Docker repository key/name as the sub domain of Artifactory URL.

Example of docker push or pull and login commands:

docker pull / push <REPOSITORY_KEY>.artifactory.shared.tds.CUSTOMERX.com/<IMAGE>:<TAG>
docker login -u <USER_NAME> -p <USER_PASSWORD> <REPOSITORY_KEY>.artifactory.shared.tds.CUSTOMERX.com

This is recommended and most popular option due to convenience with the repository address which is easier to read, type or remember.

Docker repositories via port

In this case each Artifactory Docker repository bounds to a specific port. You can find that port number via TDS portal in every Artifactory docker SaaS entity detail. It should be usually from 9000-9999 range.

Example of docker push or pull and login commands:

docker pull / push artifactory.shared.tds.CUSTOMERX.com:<REPOSITORY_PORT>/<IMAGE>:<TAG>
docker login -u <USER_NAME> -p <USER_PASSWORD> artifactory.shared.tds.CUSTOMERX.com:<REPOSITORY_PORT>

This option is used rather occasionally and in cases when customer did not want to have subdomains feature enabled, for example due to extra SSL certificate needs or other infrastructure limitations.

Port option is available on every Artifactory PRO provided in TDS platform via default ports from 9000-9999 range. However, in some customer cases there might be various network limitations, firewall closures preventing usage of such ports. In such cases we recommend using subdomain option. If subdomain option is not available, firewall opening needed for every necessary specific repository port or full range.
