# Add Private Docker

When you use Docker step types in a software update, you can configure the flow step to pull container images directly from your Docker Hub registry. All you need to do is link your Docker Hub registry to your JFrog Connect account. You can also link a Docker registry from other registry providers, such as AWS ECR or other private registries. 

To connect a private (non-JFrog) Docker registry, do the following:

1. In **General** **Settings**, go to **Registry Management** and click the **Private Docker** tab.

2. Click **Add Registry** on the upper right and select a **Registry Provider** from the dropdown (AWS ECR, DockerHub, or a Private provider).

3. Complete the configuration information for the registry provider you selected and confirm. The information required for each provider is different. The example below is for adding DockerHub as the registry provider.
