# containers-registries.conf.d(5)

directory for drop-in registries.conf files

Valentin Rothberg Mar 2020

## NAME

containers-registries.conf.d - directory for drop-in registries.conf files

## DESCRIPTION

CONTAINERS-REGISTRIES.CONF.D is a system-wide directory for drop-in configuration files in the **[containers-registries.conf(5)](/containers-registries.conf/5.md)** format.

By default, the directory is located at **/etc/containers/registries.conf.d**.

## CONFIGURATION PRECEDENCE

Once the main configuration at **/etc/containers/registries.conf** is loaded, the files in **/etc/containers/registries.conf.d** are loaded in alpha-numerical order. Then the conf files in **$HOME/.config/containers/registries.conf.d** are loaded in alpha-numerical order, if they exist. If the **$HOME/.config/containers/registries.conf** is loaded, only the conf files under **$HOME/.config/containers/registries.conf.d** are loaded in alpha-numerical order. Specified fields in a conf file will overwrite any previous setting.  Note that only files with the **.conf** suffix are loaded, other files and sub-directories are ignored.

For instance, setting the **unqualified-search-registries** in **/etc/containers/registries.conf.d/myregistries.conf** will overwrite previous settings in **/etc/containers/registries.conf**.  The **\[\[registry\]\]** tables merged by overwriting existing items if the prefixes are identical while new ones are added.

All drop-in configuration files must be specified in the version 2 of the **[containers-registries.conf(5)](/containers-registries.conf/5.md)** format.
