hi,

the release notes to rancher 1.2 state “_Rancher supports allowing admins to add a default Docker registry if there are no prefixes to images._” This is a great feature for my setup, but even after searching this for some time now, i can not find how to configure a default registry. sorry when i missed something, but maybe someone can point me to the corresponding documentation.

thanks, michael

I just added the information on how to do this into the docs:

[http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/v1.2/en/environments/registries/#changing-the-default-registry](http://docs.rancher.com/rancher/v1.2/en/environments/registries/#changing-the-default-registry)
