# Quay.io Cloud Registry

You can integrate your Quay.io container registry with Aikido to scan your containers for known vulnerabilities. Note that this only works for organization accounts, not for user accounts.

Follow the simple steps below to activate this feature:

**Step 1:** Log into your Quay account, go to Repositories via the top menu. On the right there should be a menu that lists the organizations. Click the organization you wish to link.

![Select a user or organization to create a new repository or organization.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-ce296027fd0496119143fa2a5af5592017b6384d%2Fucarecdn-47f7b1df-6578-446d-a0b0-34cd464dbe41.png?alt=media)

**Step 2:** On the left-hand side menu, click 'Robot Accounts'. Then create a new Robot Account called Aikido. Grant it permissions to your repositories.

![Form to create a new robot account with name input and validation requirements.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-9832e2e7fdb39251778b92f096918470ad2504cb%2Fucarecdn-d39f90d5-61c7-479a-b77a-c90234cabb8b.png?alt=media)

**Step 3:** Click the name of the bot you just created to view credentials, copy the name and token.\
​

**Step 4:** Back in the organisation detail page, then click 'Applications' on the left-hand side menu.

![Sidebar icon labeled "Applications" with a tooltip displayed.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f9713973c4f899ea5055d6bba0640c61c55f67c0%2Fucarecdn-8f077c3e-18f4-48bb-bfbd-f72f0e271ba2.png?alt=media)

**Step 5:** Create a new app called 'aikido'. Then click generate token on the left. Add the scope "**View all visible repositories",** then click 'Generate token', and copy the access token from the resulting screen.

![OAuth 2 Access Token permissions selection for user "aikidodev" in a repository management interface.](https://3149773201-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FyKbzcQGrx7UtrG0nPZZ7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-59a79fb1e42f68f090753b81cea690b290b66c46%2Fucarecdn-685fec8f-7736-475e-9ef1-a7e8000d8b00.png?alt=media)

**Step 6:** Enter the collected data in Aikido (direct link: <https://app.aikido.dev/settings/container-image-registry/add/quay>)

Copy the organization name from the top of the page in Quay.

​

**Step 7:** Aikido will now find all container repositories you can access and list them.

**Step 8:** Repositories can be linked to a code repository in order to perform better deduplication of findings. This step is optional!

**Step 9:** In the action menu next to the registry, click 'scan repos in registry' to get started. Results will appear in the Feed!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

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

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
