App Hosts and a private repository

You can configure your App Hosts to use a repository of your choice instead of the default, quay.io.

Many customers require the use of their own private container repository, also called a registry, for App Host. One key use case includes the building and referencing to their own apps.

Many different solutions are available for both on-premise and cloud-based container repositories. Below is a short list of some of these repositories.

Cloud-based solutions:
  • IBM Cloud®
  • Quay.io
  • Github
  • Azure
  • Google
  • JFrog
On-premise solutions:
  • Quay.io
  • Github
  • Docker
  • Harbor
  • JFrog
Note: If you installed the standalone variation of App Host, you must install the jq package from the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux®) before configuring a private repository.
