Customer Portal Registry

As an end customer, you will be given access to a Customer Portal by the software vendor. The portal provides access to the artifact registry for downloading software distributed by your vendor.

This guide walks you through using the registry from the customer portal.

Registry quickstart from the customer portal

A typical onboarding journey looks like this:

1. Access the Customer Portal Dashboard

Here you will view release notes and vendor-specific software information in your dashboard.

2. View Available Artifacts

Browse the artifacts your vendor has made available to you in the artifacts section:

In this example, the vendor made a single artifact called hello-world available to the end-customer.

3. Explore Artifact Details

Click on the artifact name to see details like available versions, creation date, and a download counter:

4. Authenticate with a Personal Access Token

Generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) in your Distr account and use it to log in:

echo "YOUR-ACCESS-TOKEN" | docker login registry.distr.sh:8585 --password-stdin -u -

5. Pull Vendor Artifacts

Once authenticated, you can pull the artifacts using Docker, ORAS or Helm for example:

Tip

You will find the exact commands in the Customer Portal.

docker pull registry.distr.sh/slug/hello-world:1.0.0
oras pull registry.distr.sh/slug/vendor-artifact:1.0.0
helm pull registry.distr.sh/slug/vendor-helm-chart:1.0.0

6. Deploy the Artifacts

Refer to the deployment instructions in your Customer Portal dashboard or coordinate directly with your vendor for specific deployment guidance.
