Manage Vercel Container Registry with Vercel CLI
By Steven Van ·
You can now manage Vercel Container Registry with Vercel CLI.
Vercel CLI now includes a vercel vcr command group for managing Vercel Container Registry. It connects existing container tooling, such as Docker, Podman, or Buildah, with a short-lived token scoped to the project, and can build and push images in one step.
- Authenticate Docker with vercel vcr login docker, then build and push with vercel vcr build docker --push, or with a repository and tag via vercel vcr build docker ./app my-api:1.2.3 --push.
- Since credentials go to Docker itself, standard commands like docker push vcr.vercel.com/my-team/my-project/my-repository:latest also work.
- Repositories are created automatically on first push, or explicitly with vercel vcr add.
- Images and tags can be listed and inspected with commands such as vercel vcr image ls and vercel vcr tag inspect.
The feature requires updating to the latest CLI with pnpm i -g vercel@latest. Read the full announcement for the Container Registry docs.
