Creating a public repository - Amazon ECR Public
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Creating a public repository

Before you can push your Docker or Open Container Initiative (OCI) images to Amazon ECR, you must create a repository to store them in. Public repositories are visible on the Amazon ECR Public Gallery and are open to publicly pull images from. If you want to create a private repository instead, see Repositories in the Amazon Elastic Container Registry User Guide.

To create a public repository (Amazon Web Services Management Console)

  1. Open the Amazon ECR console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/ecr/.

  2. From the navigation bar, choose the Amazon Web Services Region to create your public repository in.

  3. In the navigation pane, choose Repositories.

  4. On the Repositories page, choose Create repository.

  5. For Visibility settings, choose Public.

  6. For Repository name, enter a unique name for your public repository. The repository name can be specified on its own (for example, nginx-web-app) or prepended with a namespace to group the repository into a category (for example, project-a/nginx-web-app).

    Note

    The repository name may container a maximum of 205 characters. The name must start with a letter and can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, periods and forward slashes. Using a double hyphen, double underscore, or double forward slash isn't supported.

  7. For Repository logo, choose Upload file and select a local image file to use as the repository logo. Amazon ECR uploads your logo as a base64-encoded payload to a publicly available Amazon S3 bucket.

    Note

    The repository logo is only publicly visible in the Amazon ECR Public Gallery for verified accounts.

  8. For Short description enter a description of the repository. The description field is displayed on the Amazon ECR Public Gallery in the search results and on the repository detail page.

  9. For Content types select the operating system and system architecture tags to associate with the repository. These tags are publicly displayed in the Amazon ECR Public Gallery as badges on the repository and are used as search filters.

  10. For About, enter a detailed description for the repository. This field is publicly visible on the Amazon ECR Public Gallery on the repository detail page.

  11. For Usage, enter details about how to use the images in the repository. This field is publicly visible on the Amazon ECR Public Gallery on the repository detail page.

  12. Choose Create repository.
