Chapter 3: Storing and Distributing Images

In this chapter, we will cover several services, such as Docker Hub, which allows you to store your images, and Docker Registry, which you can use to run your local storage for Docker containers. We will review the differences between these services, as well as when and how to use each of them. This chapter will also cover how to set up automated builds using web hooks, as well as all the pieces that are required to set them up.

Let's take a quick look at the topics we will cover in this chapter:

  • Understanding Docker Hub
  • Deploying your own Docker registry
  • Reviewing third-party registries
  • Looking at Microbadger
