Generating Credentials for a Container Registry

When you create a registry in AceCloud, you need credentials to log in and push/pull images using Docker or Helm. The Generate Credentials option provides secure authentication details for accessing your registry.

Important: Credentials are shown only once at the time of generation. If you do not save them, you will not be able to retrieve them again.

1

Accessing the Generate Credentials option

• Log in to the AceCloud Console.

• Select your Project and Region.

• Navigate to Container Registry.

• Click Overview.

2

Generating Credentials

• Click Generate Credentials.

• A modal window will display the following details:

  • Username (Access ID)

  • Password (Access Secret)

• Copy and store these credentials in a secure password manager or download them.

Note: Credentials cannot be retrieved later. If lost, you must regenerate new credentials.

Using the credentials

Docker login

docker login <registry-endpoint> -u <username> -p <password>

Helm login

helm registry login <registry-endpoint> -u <username> -p <password>

Once logged in, you can push and pull images or Helm charts to your registry.

Security best practices

• Store credentials in a secure vault or password manager.

• Avoid hardcoding them into scripts. Use environment variables instead.

• Rotate credentials periodically to reduce risk.
