Using custom-built containers

[sebastienpierre]

Hi! I'm building custom containers using Nix, and have Docker-compatible container images that I'd like to upload to my Unraid server and schedule for running.

 

While it's possible to do that once by logging into the server and running `docker run` with my image uploaded locally, I'd like to integrate with the Docker Unraid interface and manage my container along with others.

 

However, to add a container through the UI I need a container repository, which I don't.

 

 

Most of the posts I've found here are using Docker to publish the containers, while I'd like to be fully self hosted.

 

Thanks!

....you could host your own docker registry: https://hub.docker.com/_/registry/

In docker terminology registry and image name are not really separate. Just put whatever image name you use in your docker run statement into the repository field and it should work. If you look at the output of 'docker images' in the console you will see that column for the image name is the repository column.
