This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support.
Harbor is a CNCF-graduated container registry that stores OCI images and Helm charts and adds vulnerability scanning (Trivy), image signing, and role-based access control. This Lynxroute build is hardened and ready out of the box: a unique admin password generated at first launch, HTTPS enabled automatically with a self-signed certificate, the registry and database bound behind the host TLS edge, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
Overview
This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup support.
WHAT IS HARBOR
Harbor is an open-source, CNCF-graduated container registry for storing, scanning, and serving OCI images and Helm charts. It runs as a multi-service stack - registry, API core, job service, PostgreSQL, Redis, and a bundled Trivy scanner - orchestrated with Docker Compose. On top of the OCI Distribution registry, Harbor adds built-in vulnerability scanning with Trivy, content trust and image signing (Cosign), role-based access control with projects and robot accounts, tag retention and immutability rules, storage quotas, webhooks, and pull-through proxy caching plus replication to and from other registries. Images and metadata persist in PostgreSQL and on the local filesystem under /data. Harbor is governed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation under the Apache-2.0 license, with no open-core feature gating and no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Unique admin password generated at first launch (built-in admin user), written to /root/harbor-credentials.txt
- HTTPS enabled automatically at first launch with a self-signed certificate carrying the instance public IP, so Docker push and pull work immediately
- Registry, PostgreSQL, Redis, and the Trivy adapter run behind the host TLS edge; only HTTP/HTTPS are exposed
- UFW firewall pre-configured (ports 22, 80, 443 only)
- fail2ban, auditd, AppArmor pre-configured
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
- Harbor security baked in: unique admin password generated at first launch, HTTPS enabled automatically so Docker push/pull works out of the box, registry and PostgreSQL kept behind the host TLS edge.

m6i.2xlarge | $0.05 |
m6i.large | $0.05 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the running instance, so cost scales with how long you run the software. The three options map to EC2 instance sizes: m6i.large, m6i.xlarge, and m6i.2xlarge. Each step up gives you more compute and memory for heavier workloads. Pick the size that fits your capacity needs; the hourly rate rises with the larger sizes. All three deliver the same hardened container registry image, so you choose based on scale rather than feature differences.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each option maps to an EC2 instance size. The m6i.large, m6i.xlarge, and m6i.2xlarge sizes step up in CPU and memory. You pick the size to match your container registry's load. All run the same hardened image, so the size sets capacity, not features.
You pay the software rate per hour the instance runs. Fully stopped instances do not accrue the hourly software charge. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for their disks. The software meter counts running time only.
This is pay-as-you-go. You are billed by the hour for the running instance with no upfront commitment. Cost scales with how long you keep the software running. This suits variable or short-term workloads where you can start and stop as needed.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Harbor v2.15.2
- Updated to Harbor 2.15.2 - upstream patch release (security fixes and dependency updates)
- Certbot pre-installed - enable HTTPS with one command: sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
- Rebuilt on the latest CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base
Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch instance (m6i.xlarge recommended; m6i.large minimum)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 (and TCP 22 for SSH) from your IP
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/harbor-credentials.txt
- Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning - and log in as admin with the password from the credentials file
- Push an image: docker login <PUBLIC_IP> -u admin docker tag alpine:latest <PUBLIC_IP>/library/alpine:latest docker push <PUBLIC_IP>/library/alpine:latest
- Create projects, robot accounts, and run vulnerability scans from the web portal
First launch takes 3-5 minutes while the registry, database, and Trivy scanner start; until then the URL shows a loading page that refreshes automatically.
To push or pull from a remote client, first trust the self-signed certificate: copy /etc/nginx/ssl/harbor-selfsigned.crt from the instance to /etc/docker/certs.d/<PUBLIC_IP>/ca.crt on the client. This instance already trusts its own certificate.
Data volume: the registry blobs, database, and Trivy vulnerability database grow under /data on the root volume. For production, attach a separate EBS volume and mount it at /data before pushing images, then run: cd /opt/harbor/harbor && sudo docker compose down && sudo docker compose up -d
Credentials are saved to /root/harbor-credentials.txt at first launch. Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate (or run sudo certbot --nginx) for production use.
