Artifact registry

A built-in OCI registry means image builds and GitOps applies can stay inside Tentacles without standing up a separate Docker registry.

Before you start

  • Artifact registry enabled in the control plane config (artifact.enabled: true)

Step by step

  1. 1

    Push an image

    docker push localhost:8080/myapp:v1 (or your configured registry host) — the same registry a pipeline's build step publishes to.

  2. 2

    Browse repositories

    The Artifact Registry page lists every repository with its tags, plus totals for repositories, blobs, and storage size.

  3. 3

    Track growth

    Watch total size over time to catch a build step that isn't cleaning up old tags.

    Tip: Pair with a policy that rejects :latest so every tag in the registry is traceable to a build.
