Looking For Free Docker Registries
Since Docker announced that it would remove unused images from Docker Hub, I’ve been interested in listing places where I could host mine.
As it’s for personal purposes, I’m interested in free plans. Here’s what I found:
| Provider | Private? | Monthly limit || Details |
| Provider | Private? | Storage | Transfer | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Docker Hub | 1 | ❓ | * Anonymous: 100 pulls / 6 hours * Authenticated: 200 pulls / 6 hours | |
| GitLab | ✅ | 10Gb | ❓ | * Storage quota is per-project * Quota includes all artifacts, including code |
| GitHub | ✅ | > GitHub Container Registry is currently in public beta and subject to change. During the beta, storage and bandwidth are free | ||
| AWS | * First year only * 500Mb storage | 50Gb | * Anonymous: 500Gb * Authenticated: 5Tb | |
| IBM Cloud | ✅ | 500Mb | 5Gb |
Here are some additional options with their associated pricing model:
| Provider | Pricing |
|---|---|
| JFrog | * Can be hosted on Google Cloud, AWS or Azure * Pricing depends on provider |
| * Storage * Transfer | |
| Azure | * Storage * Build time (?) |
| Quay | * Monthly subscription * Number of private repositories |
