License: Apache-2.0 — The reference Docker Registry implementation — open source under CNCF.

Good fit for Single-team or personal registries — minimal install, the de facto reference implementation.

Weak at No UI, RBAC, or scanning — bring your own. Logging/auditing also bring-your-own.

In a terminal? npx -y github:SolvoHQ/os-alt-cli docker-hub prints the Docker Hub comparison table including Distribution (CNCF). how the CLI works →

Replaces these SaaS

  • Docker Hub · Container image registry

    `docker run -d -p 5000:5000 -v $HOME/registry:/var/lib/registry --name registry registry:2`. Configure auth via the `REGISTRY_AUTH` env (htpasswd or token). Migration loop the same as Harbor: `skopeo copy --all docker://hub.docker.com/myorg/img docker://registry.example.com/myorg/img`. Front with nginx for TLS + basic auth, or with the `oci-registry-ui` image for a simple browse UI.
