You can configure your Red Hat Quay after initial deployment using one of the following methods:

  • Editing the config.yaml file. The config.yaml file contains most configuration information for the Red Hat Quay cluster. Editing the config.yaml file directly is the primary method for advanced tuning and enabling specific features.
  • Using the Red Hat Quay API. Some Red Hat Quay features can be configured through the API.

This content in this section describes how to use each of the aforementioned interfaces and how to configure your deployment with advanced features.
