DigitalOcean API (unofficial showcase)
POST/v2/registryDeprecated

Create Container Registry

Note: This endpoint is deprecated. Please use the /v2/registries endpoint instead.

To create your container registry, send a POST request to /v2/registry.

The name becomes part of the URL for images stored in the registry. For example, if your registry is called example, an image in it will have the URL registry.digitalocean.com/example/image:tag.

  • IdempotentThe SDK sends Idempotency-Key, so a retried request is only applied once.
