How to Update a Repository in Vultr Container Registry

Updated on 10 September, 2025

Modify your servers configuration to adjust resources, change operating systems, or enable features like backups and DDoS protection.

Managing multiple repositories in the Vultr Container Registry with similar names is easier when each has a clear, distinct description. Updating a repository's description adds context to the stored container images, keeps the details up to date, and improves discoverability within container workflows.

Follow this guide to update a repository's description in your container registry on your Vultr account using the Vultr API or CLI.

  • Vultr API
  • Vultr CLI

  1. Send a GET request to the List Container Registries endpoint and note the target registry's ID.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/registries" \
    -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"

  2. Send a GET request to the List Repositories endpoint to list all the available repositories and note the target repository image.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/registry/{registry-id}/repositories" \
    -X GET \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"

  3. Send a PUT request to the Update Repository endpoint to update the target repository's description.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/registry/{registry-id}/repository/{repository-image}" \
    -X PUT \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    --data '{
        "description" : "{description}"
    }'

  1. List all the available registries in your Vultr account and note the target registry's ID.

    console 
    $ vultr-cli container-registry list

  2. List all the available repositories in your registry and note the target repository image.

    console 
    $ vultr-cli container-registry repository list <registry-id>

  3. Update the target repository's description.

    console 
    $ vultr-cli container-registry repository update <registry-id> --image-name "<repository-image>" --description "<description>"
