Manage Repositories

Learn how to view, organize, and manage your container image repositories in DCR.

Viewing Repositories

Via Console

Log in to the Nexqloud Console
Navigate to Container → DCR Container Registry
Click on your registry name
View the Repositories tab

Screenshot Placeholder: Repositories tab showing list of repositories

Each repository displays:

Repository name
Number of tags
Last push date
Image size

Via CLI

List repositories using the Docker/Podman CLI:

# This requires registry API access
curl -u username:password https://dcr.nexqloud.io/v2/your-registry-name/_catalog

Repository Structure

Repositories are automatically created when you push an image:

docker push dcr.nexqloud.io/your-registry-name/repository-name:tag

Repository naming best practices:

Use lowercase letters and hyphens
Group related images (e.g., frontend/web, backend/api)
Include project or service names

Viewing Image Tags

In the Console

Click on a repository name
View all tags for that repository
See tag details including:
- Tag name
- Digest (SHA256)
- Size
- Push date

Using Docker CLI

List tags for a specific repository:

# View all tags
docker images dcr.nexqloud.io/your-registry-name/repository-name

# Pull specific tag
docker pull dcr.nexqloud.io/your-registry-name/repository-name:tag

Organizing Repositories

Hierarchical Structure

Organize repositories using path-like names:

dcr.nexqloud.io/your-registry-name/
  ├── frontend/web:latest
  ├── frontend/web:v1.0.0
  ├── backend/api:latest
  ├── backend/api:v1.0.0
  ├── backend/worker:latest
  └── services/auth:latest

Example push commands:

docker push dcr.nexqloud.io/your-registry-name/frontend/web:latest
docker push dcr.nexqloud.io/your-registry-name/backend/api:v1.0.0
docker push dcr.nexqloud.io/your-registry-name/services/auth:latest

Naming Conventions

Recommended patterns:

# By component
frontend/component-name
backend/service-name
database/db-type

# By environment
myapp/dev
myapp/staging
myapp/production

# By version
myapp:v1.0.0
myapp:v1.1.0
myapp:latest

# Combined approach
project/component:environment-version
example: ecommerce/api:prod-v2.1.0
