Set up access to Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)

1. Set env variable to point to config file (default /var/dockerql/config.json)

2. Edit your /var/dockerql/config.json file and add an entry for an instance of dockerhub:

{
  "registries": [
    {
      "name": {registryName},
      "type": "ecr",
      "namespace": {namespace},
      "username": {apikKey},
      "password": {apiSecret}
    }
  ]
}

• {registryName} is an arbitrary name you choose to represent the registry. The name must be unique in the config file.
• {namespace} optional parameter. Mapped to ecr region. Default value is set of us-east-1.
• {apiKey} is a AWS api key to be used for authentication. The api key should be only given read permissions to the registry.
• {apiSecret} is the AWS api secret assigned to this user.

Examples

For simplicity let’s assume {registryName} is set to my-registry.

Find repos in a specific region

To get the list of repos in us-east-1 we will use the following.

SELECT * FROM repos WHERE namespace = "us-east-1" AND registry="my-registry"
