Where should I set the '--insecure-registry' flag on Mac OS?

Question

I am using OS X 10.10. When trying to communicate with our team\'s private docker registry, it keeps giving me errors like this:

Error: Invalid registry endp         


        

Answer 1

I was looking for a way to set --insecure-registry in Docker for Mac. Turned out to be simpler than what I first thought...

Click the Docker icon in the tray to open Preferences. Click on the Daemon tab and add your insecure registries in Insecure registries section.

Don't forget to Apply & Restart and you're ready to go.

Answer 2

As of Docker 2.3.0.3, it must be in host:port format, i.e you have to remove http/https. Sample configuration

"insecure-registries": [
    "registry.com:443",
    "registry-2.net:80"
  ]

Working MacOS Big Sur

This is accessed throught he docker icon -> preferences

Answer 4

You have to set it to Docker Machine's / Boot2Docker profile file: docker-machine ssh <machine name>

/var/lib/boot2docker/profile

EXTRA_ARGS='
--label provider=virtualbox --insecure-registry myregistry:5000

'

And then restart Docker service.

sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart

Answer 5

The proper way to set it is via the --engine-insecure-registry argument to docker-machine:

docker-machine create --driver virtualbox \
  --engine-insecure-registry myregistry:5000 dev

You can also pass other options using --engine-opts. For example, set dns via --engine-opt dns=8.8.8.8

This essentially ends up setting EXTRA_ARGS in /var/lib/boot2docker/profile

Answer 6

Mac docker's config file was in ~/.docker/daemon, The configuration you added to the software interface is the wrong configuration for the MAC，because it's an extra "," like this.

    {
    "insecure-registries" : [
        "XXXX:5000", \\ <-- THIS ","
      ],
      "registry-mirrors" : [
        "https://registry.docker-cn.com", \\ <--  THIS ","
      ]
    }

The right config is

    "insecure-registries" : [
        "XXXX:5000"  \\ there is no comma, it is working.
      ],
      "registry-mirrors" : [
        "https://registry.docker-cn.com" \\ there is no comma, it is working.
      ]
    }
