How to License and Distribute a Private Docker Image
a day ago
- The blog post explains how to use Keygen to distribute private Docker images to licensed users without managing a full Docker registry.
- It demonstrates building a simple Node.js Express app, packaging it as a Docker image, and saving it as a compressed tarball using 'docker save'.
- The Keygen CLI is used to publish the image as a release, and users download it via authenticated API requests with their license key.
- Keygen automatically restricts access to releases only to users with valid licenses, simplifying timed trials and entitlement management.
