Appendix A. Creating a Quay Account

Creating a Quay Account

Objectives

After completing this section, you should be able to describe how to create a Quay account, and public container image repositories for labs in the course.

Creating a Quay Account

You need a Quay account to create one or more public container image repositories for the labs in this course. If you already have a Quay account, then you can skip the steps to create a new account listed in this appendix.

Important

If you already have a Quay account, then ensure that you only create public container image repositories for the labs in this course. The lab grading scripts and instructions require unauthenticated access to pull container images from the repository.

To create a new Quay account, perform the following steps:

  1. Navigate to https://quay.io by using a web browser.

  2. Click Sign in in the upper-right corner (next to the search bar).

  3. On the Sign in page, you can log in using your Red Hat account.

    Alternatively, click Register for a Red Hat account to create a new account.

  4. If you chose to skip the Red Hat login method and instead opt to create a new account, then you will receive an email with instructions on how to activate your Quay account. Verify your email address and then sign in to the Quay website with the username and password you provided during account creation.

  5. After you have logged in to Quay you can create new image repositories by clicking Create New Repository on the Repositories page.
