Docker Registry UI is a web user interface for private Docker registry v2 and v3 installations.
The tool addresses the need for a visual way to browse and manage Docker registries without command-line tools. It provides a browser-based interface that connects to your registry and displays available images and tags. The interface is built with Riot, a lightweight React-like UI library, combined with riot-mui components for the visual layer. Users can customize the interface through various configuration options, with a key feature being the SINGLE_REGISTRY option that locks the UI to a single registry rather than allowing dynamic selection between multiple registries.
The project suits teams running private Docker registries who want their developers to explore available images through a graphical interface. It works with both Docker registry v2 and v3, making it compatible with current and recent registry versions. The tool is distributed as Docker images based on nginx, available in Alpine and Debian variants, which simplifies deployment in containerized environments. For teams migrating from earlier versions, the project provides a migration guide from version 1.x to 2.x.
Development activity shows consistent engagement with the codebase through regular updates and maintenance. The project maintains multiple release channels including stable releases, versioned tags for specific versions, and a main branch for beta features, indicating active development and a structured release process. The availability of a Helm Chart alongside the Docker images demonstrates attention to Kubernetes deployment patterns. The presence of examples and a live demo suggests the maintainers invest in making the project accessible to new users.
