## Set up Docker Hub access for SDR images URL: https://docs.atlan.com/product/connections/self-deployed-runtime/how-tos/set-up-docker-hub-access > Pull Self-Deployed Runtime images from Docker Hub with your organization's own Docker ID and an access token you manage. > **Info: Did you know?** > > SDR requires additional enablement and licensing. Contact your Atlan representative for details. Self-Deployed Runtime (SDR) images live in Atlan's private `atlanhq/*` repositories on Docker Hub. To pull them, you add a Docker Hub account that your organization owns from Atlan. Atlan invites that account to a restricted group that can only pull Atlan app images, and your deployments sign in to Docker Hub with that account and an access token you create. This is how every SDR deployment gets access to images: - **Pull-only access, scoped to Atlan app images.** The account can pull the SDR orchestrator and connector images. It can't push, and it can't see any other repositories. - **Your credentials, your rotation schedule.** You create and rotate the access token on your own Docker Hub account. Atlan never sees it. - **Revoke access at any time.** Disconnecting removes the account's access immediately. > **Warning: Docker Hub token provided by Atlan is deprecated** > > If your deployments sign in to Docker Hub as `atlanhq` with a token you received from your Atlan representative, that method is deprecated and is being retired. Set up access with your own Docker ID and [move your existing deployments](#move-existing-deployments-to-your-docker-id) now, so image pulls keep working. Your Atlan representative can confirm the retirement timeline. > **Note: Availability** > > This option is rolling out gradually. If you don't see **Docker Hub** under **Admin** > **Integrations** yet, contact your Atlan representative. ## Prerequisites - You're an Atlan **admin**. - A Docker Hub account that your organization controls. A dedicated service account is recommended over a personal one, so that access doesn't depend on one person. Any Docker Hub plan works. - Access to the inbox of the email address registered on that Docker Hub account, to accept the invitation. ## Invite your Docker Hub account 1. In Atlan, go to **Admin** > **Integrations**. Under **Self-deployed runtime**, find the **Docker Hub** card. 2. On the card, click **Connect Docker Hub**. 3. In **Add to Docker Hub**, enter the **Docker ID** or email of your Docker Hub account, and then click **Send invitation**. ![Add to Docker Hub dialog with the Docker ID field](https://docs.atlan.com/img/product/connections/self-deployed-runtime/docker-hub/add-to-docker-hub.png) The card shows **INVITE PENDING** and how many days are left before the invitation expires. ![Docker Hub card showing INVITE PENDING](https://docs.atlan.com/img/product/connections/self-deployed-runtime/docker-hub/invite-pending.png) 4. Accept the invitation. Docker Hub sends it from `no-reply@notify.docker.com` to the email address registered on the account. You can also accept it from the notifications panel after you sign in to Docker Hub. 5. Return to **Admin** > **Integrations**. Once the invitation is accepted, the card shows **CONNECTED**. ![Docker Hub card showing CONNECTED](https://docs.atlan.com/img/product/connections/self-deployed-runtime/docker-hub/connected.png) > **Tip: One connection per organization** > > If your organization has more than one Atlan tenant, one Docker ID covers all of them. Connect it from any one tenant; the others show the same connection. ## Sign in to Docker Hub with your Docker ID 1. In Docker Hub, signed in as the connected account, create a personal access token with **Read-only** access. See [Docker's guide to access tokens](https://docs.docker.com/security/for-developers/access-tokens/). 2. Sign in with the Docker ID you invited from Atlan, not `atlanhq`, and that token wherever your deployment needs Docker Hub credentials. The [guided install](https://docs.atlan.com/llms/platform/self-deployed-runtime/install-guided/llms.txt) shows each of these in context: - **Docker hosts:** ```bash docker login -u YOUR_DOCKER_ID # When prompted for a password, enter YOUR_DOCKER_HUB_ACCESS_TOKEN ``` - **Podman hosts:** ```bash podman login -u YOUR_DOCKER_ID docker.io # When prompted for a password, enter YOUR_DOCKER_HUB_ACCESS_TOKEN ``` - **SDR Orchestrator on Docker or Podman:** also set the `container_registry` credentials in `config.yaml`: ```yaml container_registry: username: "YOUR_DOCKER_ID" password: "YOUR_DOCKER_HUB_ACCESS_TOKEN" ``` - **Kubernetes:** create the image pull secret with your Docker ID and token. Use `atlan-registry-creds` for SDR Orchestrator, or `atlan-docker-secret` for a single-app deployment: ```bash kubectl create secret docker-registry atlan-registry-creds \ --docker-server=docker.io \ --docker-username=YOUR_DOCKER_ID \ --docker-password=YOUR_DOCKER_HUB_ACCESS_TOKEN \ -n YOUR_NAMESPACE ``` 3. Test a pull of an image you deploy, for example `docker pull atlanhq/atlan-sdr-orchestrator:YOUR_VERSION_TAG`. If it succeeds, your SDR deployments can pull every Atlan app image with the same credentials. ## Move existing deployments to your Docker ID If a deployment already signs in to Docker Hub as `atlanhq` with the token provided by Atlan, switch it to your Docker ID. Running apps keep running during the switch; the new credentials apply to the next image pull. 1. [Invite your Docker Hub account](#invite-your-docker-hub-account) and wait for the card to show **CONNECTED**. 2. [Create a read-only access token](#sign-in-to-docker-hub-with-your-docker-id) for that account. 3. Replace the credentials on each deployment: - **Docker or Podman hosts:** run `docker login -u YOUR_DOCKER_ID` (or `podman login -u YOUR_DOCKER_ID docker.io`). Signing in replaces the stored `atlanhq` credentials for Docker Hub. - **SDR Orchestrator on Docker or Podman:** also update `username` and `password` under `container_registry` in `config.yaml`, then restart the orchestrator with `docker compose restart` (or `podman compose restart`). - **Kubernetes:** replace the pull secret in place, in the same namespace and with the same name, so nothing that references it needs to change: ```bash kubectl create secret docker-registry atlan-registry-creds \ --docker-server=docker.io \ --docker-username=YOUR_DOCKER_ID \ --docker-password=YOUR_DOCKER_HUB_ACCESS_TOKEN \ -n YOUR_NAMESPACE \ --dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f - ``` - **Mirroring jobs:** if you copy Atlan images into your own registry, update the `docker login` step in that job to use your Docker ID. 4. Test a pull with the new credentials, as described in [Sign in to Docker Hub with your Docker ID](#sign-in-to-docker-hub-with-your-docker-id). 5. Remove the token provided by Atlan from your hosts, CI/CD pipelines, and secret stores. ## Manage connection All of these actions are on the **Docker Hub** card under **Admin** > **Integrations**. | Situation | What to do | |---|---| | Invitation email didn't arrive, or got lost | Click **Resend**. A new invitation replaces the old one and the expiry restarts. | | Invitation expired (**INVITE EXPIRED**) | Click **Resend** to send a new one. | | Typo in the Docker ID before the invitation is accepted | Click **Change Docker ID** to invite the right account, or **Cancel** to withdraw the invitation. The old invitation link stops working. | | Switch to a different Docker Hub account after connecting | Click **Change Docker ID** and enter the new account. The old account loses access as soon as you confirm, so update your pull credentials once the new invitation is accepted. | | You no longer want this account to pull Atlan images | Click **Disconnect**. Its access is removed immediately and pulls with its credentials start failing. Reconnecting needs a new invitation. | **Change Docker ID** warns you before removing the connected account: ![Change Docker ID dialog warning that it removes the connected account](https://docs.atlan.com/img/product/connections/self-deployed-runtime/docker-hub/change-docker-id.png) ## Troubleshooting - **`requested access to the resource is denied` when pulling:** check that the card shows **CONNECTED**, that you signed in with the connected Docker ID (not `atlanhq`), and that the token belongs to that account. - **`unauthorized: incorrect username or password`:** the access token is wrong, expired, or revoked. Create a new one in Docker Hub and sign in again. - **The Docker Hub card isn't visible:** only admins can see it, and the option is still rolling out.
