Install Harbor

BRIX Enterprise can be installed in a closed environment with no direct access to an external container image repository. To achieve this, you need to pre-install a private registry, such as Harbor.

The installation of the Harbor private repository involves four steps:

  1. Install docker and docker-compose on your OS.
  2. Download the online installer archive.
  3. Fill in the configuration file.
  4. Install Harbor.

Step 1: Install docker and docker-compose

Install Docker and Docker Compose for your operating system.

Step 2: Download the online installer archive

  1. На On a computer with internet access, go to the Harbor releases page and download the harbor-offline-installer-vX.Y.Z.tgz archive by executing the following command:

wget https://github.com/goharbor/harbor/releases/download/vX.Y.Z/harbor-offline-installer-vX.Y.Z.tgz

  1. Copy the obtained archive to the server where the installation will take place.
  1. Unpack the archive on the server and copy the default configuration file harbor.yml.tmpl в harbor.yml:

tar xzvf harbor-offline-installer-vX.Y.Z.tgz && cd harbor
cp harbor.yml.tmpl harbor.yml

Step 3: Fill in the configuration file harbor.yml

  1. Fill in the variables in the harbor.yml file.

Set the domain (FQDN) or IP address in the hostname parameter, through which the registry will be accessible, for example, set the domain name registry.example.com.

  1. Determine the protocols through which the repository will be accessible.

Step 4: Install Harbor

  1. Install Harbor by executing the following command:

sudo ./install.sh

  1. Wait for the installation script to complete.
