​
Overview

Docker Hub is the world’s largest container image registry, hosting millions of container images. You can connect Docker Hub to Qovery to deploy both public and private images.

​
Registry URL

https://index.docker.io/v1/

​
Authentication

Docker Hub supports two authentication methods:
  • Access Token (recommended for security)
  • Password (not recommended)
Use Docker Hub access tokens instead of passwords for better security and easier management.

Rate Limits

Docker Hub has rate limits for image pulls:

  • Paid accounts: Higher limits based on plan
Authenticating with Docker Hub increases your rate limit and is recommended even for public images.
