I am trying to automate this part of the Rancher setup and was wondering if it is possible to create/configure a Docker registry via the API?

The UI is completely client side, everything can be done through the API. [http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/v1.0/en/api/api-resources/registry/](http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/v1.0/en/api/api-resources/registry/)

Ah yes that is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you sir!

So I am able to create a registry

curl -u “${CATTLE\_ACCESS\_KEY}:${CATTLE\_SECRET\_KEY}”   
-X POST   
-H ‘Accept: application/json’   
-H ‘Content-Type: application/json’   
-d ‘{“name”:“Test”, “serverAddress”:“[index.docker.io](http://index.docker.io)”}’   
‘[http://192.168.33.11:8080/v1/projects/1a5/registries](http://192.168.33.11:8080/v1/projects/1a5/registries)’

It shows up in my list of registries. But I can’t figure out how configure Dockerhub credentials? Would that be another API call? I apologize, I’m not very good with API’s.

I think I got it. It must be this - [http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/v1.0/en/api/api-resources/registryCredential/](http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/v1.0/en/api/api-resources/registryCredential/).
