Container Registry

Container registry is where your built docker images are pushed to and stored.

Before you can deploy your application you will need to setup a container registry. DockerHub, AWS, Google Cloud or Digital Ocean all offer this service.

• https://aws.amazon.com/ecr/

• https://cloud.google.com/container-registry

• https://hub.docker.com

• https://www.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/

Save costs with Digital Ocean, free control plane for your Kubernetes cluster.

Once you have setup your container registry you should enter the base URL in your Larakube configuration under registry.base_url or set as an environment variable:

<?php
// config/kube.php

return [
    'project_root' => base_path(),

    'cloud_provider' => 'DigitalOcean',
    
    'services' => [
        /*
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        | Services Path
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
        | The path to the directory where your services are kept.
        */
        'path' => 'kube/services',
    ],

    'registry' => [
        /*
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        | Registry Base URL
        |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
        |
        | The base URL of the container/docker registry to upload images to, you do
        | not need to specify the image name and tag.
