Pushing into different nexus repository always lands into one repo

I am trying to push an image into nexsus repo (myrepo):

docker push myreposerver/myrepo/httpd:2.4.28-alpine

And I see that it lands in another repo as:

myreposerver/otherrepo/myrepo/httpd:2.4.28-alpine

This is wrong, but I can't find where are config settings which are responsible for this behavior in Nexus UI.

Solution

  • https://help.sonatype.com/display/NXRM3/Private+Registry+for+Docker

    The docker client does not allow a context as part of the path to a registry, as the namespace and image name are embedded in the URLs it uses. This is why requests to repositories on the repository manager are served on a specific and separate port from the rest of the application instead of how most other repositories serve content via a path i.e. //

    So, in a nutshell if one wants to setup separate Docker repositories in Nexus they have to be on separate ports, exactly as described here: http://www.sonatype.org/nexus/2017/02/16/using-nexus-3-as-your-repository-part-3-docker-images/
