Project Harbor is an enterprise-class registry server. It extends the open source Docker Registry server by adding more functionalities usually required by an enterprise. Harbor is designed to be deployed in a private environment of an organization. A private registry is important for organizations who care much about security. In addition, a private registry improves productivity by eliminating the need to download images from public network. This is very helpful to container users who do not have a good network to the Internet. For example, Harbor accelerates the progress of Chinese developers, because they no longer need to pull images from the Internet.
* **Role Based Access Control**: Users and docker repositories are organized via "projects", a user can have differernt permission for images under a namespace.
* **Graphical user portal**: User can easily browse, search docker repositories, manage projects/namepaces.
* **AD/LDAP support**: Harbor integrates with existing AD/LDAP of enterprise for user authentication and management.
* **Audting**: All the operations to the repositories are tracked and can be used for auditing purpose.
* **Internationalization**: Localized for English and Chinese languages. More languages can be added.
* **RESTful API**: RESTful APIs are provided for most administrative operations of Harbor. The integration with other management software becomes easy.
* Edit the file Deploy/harbor.cfg, make necessary configuration changes such as host name, admin password and mail server. Refer to [Installation Guide](docs/installation_guide.md) for more info.
If everything works fine, you can open a browser to visit the admin portal at: http://yourhostname . The default administrator username and password is admin/Harbor12345 .
*To simplify the installation process, a pre-built package of Harbor is provided so that you don't need to clone the source code. By using this package, you can even install Harbor onto a host that is not connected to the Internet.
