Some drivers themselves provide host-folder sharing options, but we plan to deprecate these in the future as they are all implemented differently and they are not configurable through minikube.
## Private Container Registries
**GCR/ECR/Docker**: Minikube has an addon, `registry-creds` which maps credentials into Minikube to support pulling from Google Container Registry (GCR), Amazon's EC2 Container Registry (ECR), and Private Docker registries. Simply run `minikube addons enable registry-creds` and follow the prompts. This will make it so that you can reference your private images in minikube and they will be pulled down properly.
**GCR/ECR/Docker**: Minikube has an addon, `registry-creds` which maps credentials into Minikube to support pulling from Google Container Registry (GCR), Amazon's EC2 Container Registry (ECR), and Private Docker registries. You will need to run `minikube addons configure registry-creds` and `minikube addons enable registry-creds` to get up and running. An example of this is below:
```shell
$ minikube addons configure registry-creds
Do you want to enable AWS Elastic Container Registry? [y/n]: n
Do you want to enable Google Container Registry? [y/n]: y
-- Enter path to credentials (e.g. /home/user/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json):/home/user/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json
Do you want to enable Docker Registry? [y/n]: n
registry-creds was successfully configured
$ minikube addons enable registry-creds
```
