Best Container Registries for Linux of 2025

Docker images are stored in a highly resilient storage solution. Automatic data replication is set up for all assets, ensuring that any changes—whether editing, creating, or deleting Docker images—are reflected across all replicas. The service supports containers for both Linux and Windows operating systems, allowing you to utilize them on your personal devices or within a Yandex Compute Cloud virtual machine. It offers rapid Docker image operations without incurring costs for external traffic since the image registries are situated within the same data centers as your cloud setup. Docker images are securely transmitted using HTTPS, and you have the authority to determine who can view, pull, push, or remove them. When you use a Docker image, we handle all the infrastructure maintenance for your registry. You are only charged for the storage utilized by your Docker images. Accessing the service can be done through the management console, command line interface (CLI), API, or the standard Docker CLI, with full compatibility with the Docker registry HTTP API V2. Additionally, this service ensures a seamless experience by integrating with various tools and workflows you may already be using.

Public container registries are hosted out in the open, while many private registries operate from providers’ clouds. Mirantis Secure Registry works where you need it—including on your clusters themselves, putting you back in control. Mirantis Secure Registry is an enterprise-grade container registry that can be easily integrated with standard Kubernetes distributions to provide the core of an effective secure software supply chain. Role-based access control Integrate with internal user directories to implement fine-grained access policies. Synchronize multiple repositories for separation of concerns from development through production. Image scanning Continuously scan images at the binary level and check against a regularly updated CVE vulnerability database. Image signing Developers and CI tools can digitally sign contents and publishers of images, so downstream users and automation tools can verify image authenticity before running. Caching and mirroring Mirror and cache container image repositories to avoid network bottlenecks and make images available across multiple sites for distributed teams and production environments. Image lifecycle Automatically clean up images based on policy controls.
