How Kamal delivers Docker images to servers

question 3 connections

Audience question on image delivery. Strzibny: traditionally you'd use an external registry like Docker Hub — the build is pushed there and servers pull it (Kamal authenticates via a KAMAL_REGISTRY_PASSWORD secret). The new Kamal default instead spins up a local Docker-registry image; then a tunnel is created so the server pulls the image from your laptop. In the demo he used the local registry, so no external registry password was needed in the config.

answer_summary
Traditional path: push to Docker Hub (or similar) with a registry password; servers pull from it. New default: Kamal spins up a local Docker registry image and tunnels the pull from your machine — no external password needed.
