Pushing files into private registry in Docker

Question

I have setup the private registry using `docker run -t -i -p 5000:5000 registry` and it is accessible from 192.168.59.103:5000 (I am using boot2docker). Now I have already pulled an image tutum/tomcat and when I try to push the image (`docker push 192.168.59.103:5000/tomcat`) into the registry after tagging it as 192.168.59.103:5000/tomcat I face the following error as shown below -- ``` FATA[0004] Error: v1 ping attempt failed with error: Get https://192.168.59.103:5000/v1/_ping: EOF. If this private regi stry supports only HTTP or HTTPS with an unknown CA certificate, please add `--insecure-registry 192.168.59.103:5000` to the daemon's arguments. In the case of HTTPS, if you have access to the registry's CA certificate, no need for the flag ; simply place the CA certificate at /etc/docker/certs.d/192.168.59.103:5000/ca.crt ``` FROM OTHER POSTS -- I have read some some posts about this where they state that adding DOCKER_OPTS would solve the issue and that it should be added into /et…

Accepted Answer

To use the `--insecure-registry` option, add it to the file `/var/lib/boot2docker/profile` inside the boot2docker VM. You can get into the VM with `boot2docker ssh`. The file contents should look like:

```
EXTRA_ARGS="--insecure-registry REGISTRY_IP:PORT"
```

You will then need to restart boot2docker (e.g. `boot2docker restart`).

I have no idea why you can't edit `/etc/docker`. The following works for me:

```
docker@boot2docker:~$ sudo ls /etc/docker
key.json
```
