+`registries`. Image registries are any web service that adheres to the
+Glance REST-like API for image metadata.
+
+Glance comes with a server program ``bin/glance-registry`` that acts
+as a reference implementation of a Glance Registry.
+
+Using ``bin/glance-registry``
+-----------------------------
+
+As mentioned above, ``bin/glance-registry`` is the reference registry
+server implementation that ships with Glance. It uses a SQL database
+to store information about an image, and publishes this information
+via an HTTP/REST-like interface.
+
+Starting the server
+*******************
+
+Starting the Glance registry server is trivial. Simply call the program
+from the command line, as the following example shows::
+
+  jpipes@serialcoder:~/repos/glance/trunk$ ./bin/glance-registry
+  (5588) wsgi starting up on http://0.0.0.0:9191/
+
+Configuring the server
+**********************
+
+There are a few options that can be supplied to the registry server when
+starting it up:
+
+* ``verbose``
+
+  Show more verbose/debugging output
+
+* ``sql_connection``
+
+  A proper SQLAlchemy connection string as described `here <http://www.sqlalchemy.org/docs/05/reference/sqlalchemy/connections.html?highlight=engine#sqlalchemy.create_engine>`_
+
+* ``registry_host``
+
+  Address of the host the registry runs on. Defaults to 0.0.0.0.
+
+* ``registry_port``
+
+  Port the registry server listens on. Defaults to 9191.
+
+Glance Registry API
+-------------------
+
+Any web service that publishes an API that conforms to the following
+REST-like API specification can be used by Glance as a registry.
+
+API in Summary
+**************
+
+The following is a brief description of the Glance API::
+
+  GET     /images         Return brief information about public images
+  GET     /images/detail  Return detailed information about public images
+  GET     /images/<ID>    Return metadata about an image in HTTP headers
+  POST    /images         Register metadata about a new image
+  PUT     /images/<ID>    Update metadata about an existing image
+  DELETE  /images/<ID>    Remove an image's metadata from the registry
