Vercel Container Registry repositories can now be made public

, , Marc Codina Segura,

Vercel Container Registry now lets you make a repository public, so anyone with a Vercel account can pull and use its images.

Sharing already granted read access to up to 100 teams, and making a repository public opens that access to every Vercel team rather than a named set. Public access is read-only, so anyone can pull and use the images but cannot push, delete, or otherwise change the repository. Repositories stay private by default.

Make a repository public from the project dashboard under Images → repository → Settings → Public Access, where confirming requires typing the repository name. You can also set visibility from the Vercel CLI:

vercel vcr config <repository> --public true
vercel vcr config <repository> --public false

Public images work like shared images in Vercel Sandbox, which accepts a team-scoped image reference in Sandbox.create():

import { Sandbox } from '@vercel/sandbox';
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({
  image: 'their-team/their-project/their-repository:latest',
});

Update your repository visibility from the dashboard, the CLI, or the REST API, and see the Vercel Container Registry documentation to learn more.
