Free Docker registries

#devops #docker #cloud #free

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
Storage Transfer
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:

The GitHub Container Registry is no longer in beta. See this link: github.blog/2021-06-21-github-pack....

For the time being, they've continued to offer it free for private containers, but indicate that it will eventually follow the pricing structure of GitHub Packages.
