docker push to non-TLS registry

Question

I am deploying my own docker registry and during testing I want to docker push to an non-TLS registry at local:8000. However, I get the following:

$ docker push local:8000/alexflint/kayak-test-foo
The push refers to a repository [local:8000/alexflint/kayak-test-foo]
Get https://local:8000/v1/_ping: http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client

My understanding is that the docker client is expecting to be talking to an HTTPS server, but my server is serving HTTP. Is there any way to tell docker push to use HTTP?

The docker client I am using is Docker for Mac.

Answer 1

Go to the Docker for Mac menubar icon -> Preferences -> Advanced -> add "local:8000" as an insecure registry:

Then click "Apply & Restart"
