Trivy Private Registry Scan Checklist
Plan Trivy scans for GHCR, ECR, ACR, GCR, Docker Hub private repositories, and self-hosted registries with clear authentication steps.
Search intent answer
Users need to scan a private image and are blocked by registry authentication or image-source behavior.
Trivy Space keeps private registry troubleshooting close to the report workspace so teams can fix access and preserve evidence together.
When this matters
- GHCR image scans fail even though the repository token exists.
- CI can build an image but Trivy cannot pull it.
- A private registry needs a repeatable scan handoff.
How the workflow works
- Choose the registry and scan context.
- Generate login, pull, image-source, and cache recommendations.
- Save the checklist as a paid team receipt for the release record.
Common risks
- Registry credentials should be scoped and short-lived.
- A scanner container may not see local Docker images without socket access.
- Failed pulls can be misread as scanner failures.
