How to Configure Quay.io Container Registry

1

Access Quay.io

Connect to your Quay.io account and navigate to your repository
2

Create Robot Account

Go to Repository Settings → Robot Accounts and create a new robot account
3

Grant Read Access

Grant the robot account read access to your repository
4

Copy Credentials

Copy the robot username and token and paste them in CybeDefend
The robot token is only displayed once when created. Make sure to copy it immediately before closing the dialog.

​
Security Best Practices

Use Robot Accounts

Prefer robot accounts over personal credentials for automated scanning.

Minimal Permissions

Grant only read access for scanning operations.

Rotate Tokens

Rotate robot account tokens regularly to minimize exposure.

Scope to Repositories

Limit robot account access to specific repositories only.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Verify robot username format: organization+robot_name
  • Check if the robot account has been deleted
  • Ensure the token is correct
  • Verify robot account has read access to the repository
  • Check repository visibility settings
