Directory structure (in my case privateDockerRegistry):

├── Chart.yaml
├── templates
│   ├── deployment.yaml
│   ├── ingress.yaml
│   ├── volume.yaml
│   └── service.yaml
└── values.yaml

Installation:

d8devs.com@kubernetes:/home/user/projects/privateDockerRegistry$ helm upgrade --install docker-registry -f values.yaml .

Hostname in etc/hosts

Open your /etc/hosts with text editor in administrator mode, add the ip address and hostname

 d8devs.com@kubernetes:/var/privateDockerRegistry$ sudo vim /etc/hosts
# /etc/hosts
# ...
# ...
127.0.0.1 private-registry.local

Testing

d8devs.com@kubernetes:/var/privateDockerRegistry$  curl -X GET private-registry.local/v2/_catalog
{"repositories":[]} 

Done !
