# Your Hub repositories

Docker Hub repositories make it possible for you to share images with co-workers,
customers or the Docker community at large. If you're building your images internally,
either on your own Docker daemon, or using your own Continuous integration services,
you can push them to a Docker Hub repository that you add to your Docker Hub user or
organization account.

Alternatively, if the source code for your Docker image is on GitHub or Bitbucket,
you can use an "Automated build" repository, which is built by the Docker Hub
services. See the [automated builds documentation](./builds.md) to read about
the extra functionality provided by those services.

Your Docker Hub repositories have a number of useful features.

## Stars

Your repositories can be starred and you can star repositories in
return. Stars are a way to show that you like a repository. They are
also an easy way of bookmarking your favorites.

## Comments

You can interact with other members of the Docker community and maintainers by
leaving comments on repositories. If you find any comments that are not
appropriate, you can flag them for review.

## Collaborators and their role

A collaborator is someone you want to give access to a private
repository. Once designated, they can `push` and `pull` to your
repositories. They will not be allowed to perform any administrative
tasks such as deleting the repository or changing its status from
private to public.

> **Note:**
> A collaborator cannot add other collaborators. Only the owner of
> the repository has administrative access.

You can also assign more granular collaborator rights ("Read", "Write", or "Admin")
on Docker Hub by using organizations and groups. For more information
see the [accounts documentation](accounts/).

## Private repositories

Private repositories allow you to have repositories that contain images
that you want to keep private, either to your own account or within an
organization or group.

To work with a private repository on [Docker
Hub](https://hub.docker.com), you will need to add one via the [Add
Repository](https://registry.hub.docker.com/account/repositories/add/)
link. You get one private repository for free with your Docker Hub
account. If you need more accounts you can upgrade your [Docker
Hub](https://registry.hub.docker.com/plans/) plan.

Once the private repository is created, you can `push` and `pull` images
to and from it using Docker.

> *Note:* You need to be signed in and have access to work with a
> private repository.

Private repositories are just like public ones. However, it isn't
possible to browse them or search their content on the public registry.
They do not get cached the same way as a public repository either.

It is possible to give access to a private repository to those whom you
designate (i.e., collaborators) from its Settings page. From there, you
can also switch repository status (*public* to *private*, or
vice-versa). You will need to have an available private repository slot
open before you can do such a switch. If you don't have any available,
you can always upgrade your [Docker
Hub](https://registry.hub.docker.com/plans/) plan.

## Webhooks

A webhook is an HTTP call-back triggered by a specific event.
You can use a Hub repository webhook to notify people, services, and other
applications after a new image is pushed to your repository (this also happens
for Automated builds). For example, you can trigger an automated test or
deployment to happen as soon as the image is available.

To get started adding webhooks, go to the desired repository in the Hub,
and click "Webhooks" under the "Settings" box.
A webhook is called only after a successful `push` is
made. The webhook calls are HTTP POST requests with a JSON payload
similar to the example shown below.

*Example webhook JSON payload:*

```
{
  "callback_url": "https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/svendowideit/busybox/hook/2141bc0cdec4hebec411i4c1g40242eg110020/",
  "push_data": {
    "images": [
        "27d47432a69bca5f2700e4dff7de0388ed65f9d3fb1ec645e2bc24c223dc1cc3",
        "51a9c7c1f8bb2fa19bcd09789a34e63f35abb80044bc10196e304f6634cc582c",
        ...
    ],
    "pushed_at": 1.417566822e+09,
    "pusher": "svendowideit"
  },
  "repository": {
    "comment_count": 0,
    "date_created": 1.417566665e+09,
    "description": "",
    "full_description": "webhook triggered from a 'docker push'",
    "is_official": false,
    "is_private": false,
    "is_trusted": false,
    "name": "busybox",
    "namespace": "svendowideit",
    "owner": "svendowideit",
    "repo_name": "svendowideit/busybox",
    "repo_url": "https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/svendowideit/busybox/",
    "star_count": 0,
    "status": "Active"
}
```

<TODO: does it tell you what tag was updated?>

For testing, you can try an HTTP request tool like [requestb.in](http://requestb.in/).

> **Note**: The Docker Hub servers are currently in the IP range
> `162.242.195.64 - 162.242.195.127`, so you can restrict your webhooks to
> accept webhook requests from that set of IP addresses.

### Webhook chains

Webhook chains allow you to chain calls to multiple services. For example,
you can use this to trigger a deployment of your container only after
it has been successfully tested, then update a separate Changelog once the
deployment is complete.
After clicking the "Add webhook" button, simply add as many URLs as necessary
in your chain.

The first webhook in a chain will be called after a successful push. Subsequent
URLs will be contacted after the callback has been validated.

### Validating a callback

In order to validate a callback in a webhook chain, you need to

1. Retrieve the `callback_url` value in the request's JSON payload.
1. Send a POST request to this URL containing a valid JSON body.

> **Note**: A chain request will only be considered complete once the last
> callback has been validated.

To help you debug or simply view the results of your webhook(s),
view the "History" of the webhook available on its settings page.

#### Callback JSON data

The following parameters are recognized in callback data:

* `state` (required): Accepted values are `success`, `failure` and `error`.
  If the state isn't `success`, the webhook chain will be interrupted.
* `description`: A string containing miscellaneous information that will be
  available on the Docker Hub. Maximum 255 characters.
* `context`: A string containing the context of the operation. Can be retrieved
  from the Docker Hub. Maximum 100 characters.
* `target_url`: The URL where the results of the operation can be found. Can be
  retrieved on the Docker Hub.

*Example callback payload:*

    {
      "state": "success",
      "description": "387 tests PASSED",
      "context": "Continuous integration by Acme CI",
      "target_url": "http://ci.acme.com/results/afd339c1c3d27"
    }

## Mark as unlisted

By marking a repository as unlisted, you can create a publicly pullable repository
which will not be in the Hub or commandline search. This allows you to have a limited
release, but does not restrict access to anyone that is told, or guesses the repository
name.
