The DigitalOcean Container Registry (DOCR) is a private Docker image registry that lets you store and manage private container images. DOCR integrates natively with Docker environments and DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters.
The DigitalOcean API
You can use the Container Registry API to create, delete, and manage your container registry. If you create more than one registry under a Professional plan, use the Container Registries API (Public Preview) to manage them.
The DigitalOcean Command Line Client, doctl
doctl is a command-line interface for the DigitalOcean API and supports many of the same actions.
doctl supports managing container registries from the command line. See the doctl documentation or use doctl registry --help for more information.
