What is Docker Registry Stack
The Docker Registry Stack from TryDirect is built using Docker Compose - the most popular tool for running Docker apps. It contains an implementation of the famous storage and content delivery system - Docker Registry HTTP API V2. Using this deployment, you will get Docker Registry installed on your cloud or VPS server.

What is Docker Registry
Docker registry is a digital storage and distribution system for specific Docker images. Docker registry is organized into repositories, a repository holding one or many Docker images.
Who is using Docker Registry

- Companies who don’t want to use public registries like hub.docker.com
You should use the Registry if you want to:
- Tightly control where your images are being stored
- Fully own your images distribution pipeline
- Integrate image storage and distribution tightly into your in-house development workflow CI/CD

Companion apps
knockd is a port-knock server. It listens to all traffic on an ethernet (or PPP) interface, looking for special knock sequences of port-hits. A client makes these port-hits by sending a TCP (or UDP) packet to a port on the server. This port need not be open -- since knockd listens at the link-layer level, it sees all traffic even if it's destined for a closed port. When the server detects a specific sequence of port-hits, it runs a command defined in its configuration file. This can be used to open up holes in a firewall for quick access.
