Running Harbor Locally#

Lagoon supports running Harbor locally, where it makes use of MinIO as a storage backend, which is an AWS S3 compatible local storage solution.

Settings#

Harbor is composed of multiple containers, which all require different settings in order for them to run successfully.

Environment Variables#

The following environment variables are required to be set in order for Harbor to properly start:

  • HARBOR_REGISTRY_STORAGE_AMAZON_BUCKET
  • This needs to be set to the name of the AWS bucket which Harbor will save images to.
  • Defaults to harbor-images when Lagoon is run locally or during CI testing.
  • HARBOR_REGISTRY_STORAGE_AMAZON_REGION
  • This needs to be set to the AWS region in which Harbor's bucket is located.
  • Defaults to us-east-1 when Lagoon is run locally or during CI testing.
  • REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_ACCESSKEY
  • This needs to be set to the AWS access key Harbor should use to read and write to the AWS bucket.
  • Defaults to an empty string when Lagoon is run locally or during CI testing, as MinIO does not require authentication.
  • REGISTRY_STORAGE_S3_SECRETKEY
  • This needs to be set to the AWS secret key Harbor should use to read and write to the AWS bucket.
  • Defaults to an empty string when Lagoon is run locally or during CI testing, as MinIO does not require authentication.

The following environment variables can be set if required:

  • HARBOR_REGISTRY_STORAGE_AMAZON_ENDPOINT
  • If this variable is set, the Harbor registry will use its value as the address of the s3 entrypoint.
  • Defaults to https://s3.amazonaws.com when this variable is not set.
