In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Harbor on Ubuntu systems.
Harbor is an open source registry that secures artifacts with policies and role-based access control, ensures images are scanned and free from vulnerabilities, and signs images as trusted. Harbor, a CNCF Graduated project, delivers compliance, performance, and interoperability to help you consistently and securely manage artifacts across cloud native compute platforms like Kubernetes and Docker.
Install Harbor
Just follow the steps below to get started with the installation:
- Update your system and install the required packages
sudo apt update -y && sudo apt -y upgrade && sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common -y- Install Docker and Docker Compose
You can follow the link below to install Docker CE:
Install Docker on Ubuntu 22.04
- Once installed, Start then enable Docker:
sudo systemctl start docker && sudo systemctl enable docker- Add your system to the Docker Group by running the following command:
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
newgrp docker- verify the Docker installation by checking its version as shown below:
docker version
- Also check for Docker Compose
docker compose version
- Download Harbor installer which required Docker Compose with running the following commands:
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/docker/compose/releases/latest|grep browser_download_url|grep docker-compose-linux-x86_64 | cut -d '"' -f 4|wget -qi -
chmod +x docker-compose-linux-x86_64
sudo mv docker-compose-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/docker-compose rm docker-compose-linux-x86_64.sha256- Download the Harbor package from GitHub release page. or you can just download it by running the below command:
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/goharbor/harbor/releases/latest | grep browser_download_url | cut -d '"' -f 4 | grep '\.tgz$' | wget -i -
- Extract the Harbor Package as follows:
tar zxvf harbor-offline-installer-v*.tgz- Once it’s done, edit the conf file:
vim harbor.yml- In the file, edit the hostname, port and Harbor admin password
hostname:harbor.unixcop.com
http:
# port for http, default is 80. If https enabled, this port will redirect to https port
port: 80
# Remember Change the admin password from UI after launching Harbor.
harbor_admin_password: Harbor12345Also If you will run Harbor over HTTP alone, you have to comment out the below HTTPS-related configs:
# https related config
#https:
# port: 443
# certificate: /your/certificate/path
# private_key: /your/private/key/path- You also need to edit the storage path for Harbor as shown:
# The default data volume
data_volume: /data- Finally, install the Harbor Container Image Registry by running the installer script as shown:
cd harbor/
sudo ./install.shScript output:
unixcop@tutorial:~/harbor$ sudo ./install.sh
