Which selfhosted container registry are you using?

10 pointsby seymonover 2 years ago
I am using the harbor container registry for several years now for hosting docker container images but also K8s Helm charts. But every time I need to update Harbor to a new version I whish to knew a good alternative which is easier to maintain and is secure by default.<p>What bothers me the most is the following:<p>1. the poorly implemented recommendation of the docker compose installs in contrast to the k8s variant. I need to run it with docker compose for now.<p>2. to manually search for new version numbers and then need to download GitHub release tarballs<p>3. to manually run database migrations scripts before starting new major harbor versions<p>4. to have it by default control the whole host you run it on: Host port 80 and 443 usage. Mounting root &quot;&#x2F;&quot; by default in the harbor container during the migration process<p>Do you know a good alternative which is FOSS and can be selfhosted?

I&#x27;m using the one that is part of gitlab self hosted instance. Pretty minimalistic, but it does the job.<p>Never had an issue upgrading Gitlab and I&#x27;ve used it for 5+ years over many major versions.

Can recommend Harbor over Artifactory and Nexus if you aren&#x27;t forced to use it.<p>There is also a managed service offering of Harbor --&gt; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;container-registry.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;container-registry.com&#x2F;</a>
