Hi. I’ve configured the docker regsistry selfhosted but struggling to find some ui for it.
portainer requires business subscription to show the registry content.
portus is dead.
harbor looks very complex to setup and maintain.
Joxit / docker-registry-ui is done all in frontend and I ran into 300 cors errors that are not clear how to resolve.
are there any other alternatives?
Portainer has a free tier for 3 nodes, it’s the full portainer, just limited to 3 nodes. May be worth a try.
really? ive looked but didnt see any free option: https://www.portainer.io/pricing
Maybe they mesnt this? https://www.portainer.io/take-3
ah interesting. I tupically shy away from business editions, but looking into this one now.
is it just me - or their stupid site is broken and dont expand the content? https://www.portainer.io/pricing-packaging-faq-july23
Look closer 😀
Portainer Community Edition (CE) is our open-source version
Portainer CE came first. It’s our widely adopted, open-source product, that is known and loved by home lab users across the globe. You can install Portainer CE for free.
CE provides a general-purpose management toolset that allows individuals to deploy and manage container-native applications with a high degree of ease; a lower cost of operations; and without needing to exclusively invest in any single orchestrator, Kubernetes distribution, container runtime, or cloud provider.
Additionally, as with most open-source products, support for Portainer CE is provided by the community through forums.

You can install Portainer CE for free.yes. I had portainer CE installed for years now, but im trying to manage the docker registry with it -> and that’s a business edition feature apparently… and business edition costs surprisingly a lot of money (for a home user that is).
Yeah but you can get Business Edition for free for 3 nodes.
I use it on my 3 Servers for absolutely free.
What does the browse feature do that can"t be done by directly opening the registry page, except maybe deploying containers from the registry directly in Portainer?
What is the direct registry page u are referring to? AFAIK official docker registry v2 has no GUI feature so one has to install 3 rd party gui.( well noone has to but it makes life easier).
I don’t even know what the feature does. From the screenshot it implies that you can somehow browse the registry directly from within Portainer. Is this really a selling point for you?
Just open Flathub or whatever registry you like in the webbrowser and use the registries web front-end. I never found a registry that does not have a web front-end.
This looks good actually, thank you for sharing.
Nexus is free and you get a ui with it.
Do u have a link yo a docker image?
Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/sonatype/nexus3
This may be overkill for most use cases but you can use jcr.
The best reason to use it in my book is the garbage collection as the official registry doesn’t have that feature and can and will bloat over time.
Thanks forshatring, do they offer docker image for jfrog container registry? I couldn’t find any in dockerhub.
There’s a download link on the page I linked, I don’t think they have a container version available, it’ll have to be installed manually.
I run mine on a LXC dedicated for that application and time it to boot before the rest of the docker servers.
If you deploy it as a container you could end up with a chicken and egg situation.
