You can now manage Vercel Container Registry with Vercel CLI . The new vercel vcr command group lets you:

Connect your existing container tooling

Build and push images in one step

Create and inspect repositories, images, and tags

Authenticate your container tooling, such as Docker, Podman, or Buildah, with a short-lived token scoped to your project. Then build and push:

# Authenticate Docker with the registry

vercel vcr login docker

# Build the current directory and push it in one step

vercel vcr build docker --push

# Build and push with a repository and tag

vercel vcr build docker ./app my-api:1.2.3 --push

Authenticate Docker, then build and push an image to the registry.

The credentials go to Docker itself, so your existing tooling can push to VCR with standard commands:

docker push vcr.vercel.com/my-team/my-project/my-repository:latest

Push an image to the registry with the standard Docker CLI.

Repositories are created automatically the first time you push, or explicitly with vercel vcr add…
