You can upload an image using FTP or from your hard drive.

# Before You Begin

- Make sure you have created a registry for the image you are uploading. See [Add a Registry](docId\:PhZ2RCCK0CDEkdkS40yyO) to learn more. 
- Ensure you have enough disk space (See *Data Partition Usage* section of [Info](https://app.archbee.com/docs/JWQMp_kvm0WsA_Fpjt1v_/YIwyPagdCmgYF_px_-wgA)) before pulling any new Docker images onto a Litmus Edge and its Catalog Apps. Certain Docker images may exceed the disk size of your Litmus Edge instance.
