Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager offers three types of docker registry;
- Group

This guide will focus on adding a Hosted docker registry as an External Octopus Feed.
This guide was written using Nexus OSS version 3.37.0-01
Configuring a Nexus Hosted Docker Registry
From the Nexus web portal, click on the gear icon to get to the Administration screen.
Click on Repositories
Click Create repository
Choose docker (hosted) from the list of repositories to create
Give the repository a name and change any applicable configuration options. When using HTTPS, a Nexus docker repository will listen on the specified port.
Click Create repository when you are done.
When the repository has been created, click on the entry in the list to bring up the repository properties.
Optionally push a container to the feed to make sure the feed works when added to Octopus Deploy.
Adding an Nexus Docker repository as an Octopus External Feed
Create a new Octopus Feed by navigating to Library ➜ External Feeds and select the Docker Container Registry Feed type.
Give the feed a name, in the URL field, paste the URL to your Nexus server with the associated port. It should look similar to this format:
https://your.nexus.url:[repository port]
Optionally add Credentials if they are required.
