Free Docker registries

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
