Harbor Configuration

Some Harbor configuration is configured separately from the Configure the Harbor YML File section. You can change the configuration in the Harbor interface, through HTTP requests, or using an environment variable. This page describes the available configuration items, and how to use the commandline or environment variable to update the configuration.

Example Configuration Commands for the Commandline

Get the current configuration:

curl -u "<username>:<password>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -ki <Harbor Server URL>/api/v2.0/configurations

Update the current configuration:

curl -X PUT -u "<username>:<password>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -ki <Harbor Server URL>/api/v2.0/configurations -d'{"<item_name>":"<item_value>"}'

Update Harbor to use LDAP authentication:

Command

curl -X PUT -u "<username>:<password>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -ki https://harbor.sample.domain/api/v2.0/configurations -d'{"auth_mode":"ldap_auth"}'

Set Configuration Items Using An Environment Variable

Introduced in 2.3.0 is the ability to use an environment variable, CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON, in the core container to set the configuration. Once the CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON variable is set, you can only update or remove the configuration by updating the CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON and restarting the container. You will not be able to update the configuration in the Harbor interface or in the commandline.

Example CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON configuration:

CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON={"ldap_verify_cert":"false", "auth_mode":"ldap_auth","ldap_base_dn":"dc=example,dc=com", "ldap_search_dn":"cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com","ldap_search_password":"admin","ldap_url":"myldap.example.com", "ldap_scope":2}

See the Harbor Configuration Items table below for more information about available inputs for CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON.

If there is a legacy user in your instance of Harbor, the authentication mode can’t be changed by the environment variable CONFIG_OVERWRITE_JSON.
