# FAQ

## The container doesn't start!

Verify that the port is not already used (typically, by another container). You may do so by running `docker ps | grep PORTNUMBER`

## How do I setup user accounts?

The standalone registry does not provide account management. For simple
access control, you can set up an nginx or Apache frontend with basic
auth enabled (see the [advanced documentation](ADVANCED.md) for more about that).


## How do I report a bug?

Please insert the following into your bug report:

 * your registry version
 * specify how you are using your registry (container or pip)
 * specify what storage backend you use
 * restart your registry with the `DEBUG=true` environment variable set, and copy the output of `curl https://myregistry/_ping`
 * possibly copy any stack trace that you have
 
Please, no "this happens to me as well" comments on tickets - not helpful.

On the other hand, if you do have any useful information to provide, by all means do.
