That's a pretty cool use case! Personally, I just use Nexus because it works well enough (and supports everything from OCI images to apt packages and stuff like a custom Maven, NuGet, npm repo etc.), however the configuration and resource usage both are a bit annoying, especially when it comes to cleanup policies: https://www.sonatype.com/products/sonatype-nexus-repository https://www.sonatype.com/products/sonatype-nexus-repository That said: > More specifically, I logged the requests issued by docker pull and saw that they are “just” a bunch of HEAD and GET requests. this is immensely nice and I wish more tech out there made common sense decisions like this, just using what has worked for a long time and not overcomplicating. I am a bit surprised that there aren't more simple container repositories out there (especially with auth and cleanup support), since Nexus and Harbor are both a bit complex in practice.
