A project in Harbor contains all repositories of an application. Images cannot be pushed to Harbor before a project is created. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is applied to projects, so that only users with the appropriate roles can perform certain operations.

There are two types of project in Harbor:

  • Public: Any user can pull images from this project. This is a convenient way for you to share repositories with others.
  • Private: Only users who are members of the project can pull images

You create different projects to which you assign users so that they can push and pull image repositories. You also configure project-specific settings. When you first deploy Harbor, a default public project named library is created.

Prerequisites

Log in to Harbor with a Harbor administrator or project administrator account.

Procedure

  1. Go to Projects and click New Project.

  2. Provide a name for the project.

  3. (Optional) Check the Public check box to make the project public.

    If you set the project to Public, any user can pull images from this project. If you leave the project set to Private, only users who are members of the project can pull images. You can toggle projects from public to private, or the reverse, at any moment after you create the project.
