# Harbor Container Registry

You can now integrate your Harbor Container Registry with Aikido, to scan your images for known vulnerabilities.

Follow the simple steps below to activate this feature:

**Step 1:** In Harbor, under Administration, then 'Robot Accounts', create a new Robot Account for Aikido that has access to the 'List repository', 'Pull Repository' and 'List Artifacts' scope. After creation, copy the secret, then the name from the table of robot accounts.

**Step 3:** Aikido will now find all container repositories you can access and list them.

**Step 4:** Repositories can be linked to a code repository in order to perform better deduplication of findings. This step is optional!

**Step 5:** In the action menu next to the registry, click 'scan repos in registry' to get started. Results will appear in the Feed!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/container-image-scanning/standalone-registries/harbor-container-registry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
