Overview

DigitalOcean provides a private Container Registry plus tools for managing Droplet images and snapshots.

Container Registry

Use Container Registry to store private container images.

  • Create a registry in the target region.
  • Authenticate build systems to push images.
  • Configure App Platform or Kubernetes to pull from the registry.

Containers and Images

Use preconfigured images to create Droplets quickly.

  • Select official or marketplace images when creating Droplets.
  • Use snapshots to capture a configured Droplet as a reusable image.

Custom Images

Use custom images to boot Droplets with preinstalled stacks.

  • Upload a custom image that meets DigitalOcean requirements.
  • Use the custom image as the base for new Droplets.

Image Lifecycle Practices

  • Standardize base images for consistency.
  • Use snapshots to version and roll back Droplet states.
  • Store container images in the registry alongside source commits.

Complementary Skills

When using this skill, consider these related skills (if deployed):

  • digitalocean-compute: Droplets, App Platform, and Kubernetes compute selection.
  • digitalocean-storage: Snapshots and backups.
  • docker: Container build and runtime patterns.

Note: Complementary skills are optional. This skill is fully functional without them.
