Deploy Harbor on Ubuntu with Docker — an enterprise-grade open-source container registry with vulnerability scanning, role-based access control (RBAC), image replication, and a rich web UI. Host your own private Docker registry with security built in.
Grab the automated bash script from GitHub to follow along with the video.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/dev/harbor/harbor-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x harbor-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash harbor-ubuntu.shThe script installs Docker, downloads the official Harbor installer, generates a secure admin password, and starts all Harbor services. The generated password is displayed at the end — save it immediately.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/dev/harbor/harbor-ubuntu.sh
chmod +x harbor-ubuntu.sh
sudo bash harbor-ubuntu.shOpen your browser and navigate to the Harbor registry portal. Login with the auto-generated admin credentials:
http://<your-server-ip>:5080
Username: admin
Password: (shown at end of install script)In the Harbor UI, go to Projects → New Project. Give it a name and set access control (public or private). Projects organize your image repositories and allow fine-grained RBAC for team members.
Login to the registry from your Docker client, then tag and push your image:
docker login <your-server-ip>:5080
docker tag myapp:latest <your-server-ip>:5080/my-project/myapp:latest
docker push <your-server-ip>:5080/my-project/myapp:latest| Port | Purpose |
