Question

Permit additional registry types (beyond `DOCR`,`DOCKER_HUB`)

Asked by Daz Wilkin

Folks

The Apps spec only permits registry types of DOCR and DOCKER_HUB.

It would be useful to permit additional registries including GitHub Container Registry (GHCR) and Google Container Registry.

I assume this limitation is partly due to [DO] cost but, without it, the developer incurs the costs in managing duplicate images across registries.

Hi there,

Quick update here in case anyone comes across this in the future.

DigitalOcean has now introduced support for the GitHub Container Registry for both public and private images.

You can refer to the official documentation here:

Hope that this helps!

Running into this same limitation. I would like to be able to run containers that exist in ghcr.io as an App. Am I expected to deploy and self-maintain Docker images that do not exist within DockerHub and DOCR?
