Harbor - Container Registry and more

[robi]

Features

Made by VMware, this “enterprise-class registry server” is more than just a registry. It presents many features:

• Role based access control: users and repositories are organized via ‘projects’ and a user can have different permissions for images under a project.
• Policy based image replication: images can be replicated (synchronized) between multiple registry instances, with auto-retry on errors. Great for load balancing, high availability, multi-datacenter, hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios.
• Vulnerability Scanning: Harbor regularly scans images and warns users of vulnerabilities. (maybe extend this to Apps?)
• LDAP/AD support: Harbor integrates with existing enterprise LDAP/AD for user authentication and management.
• Image deletion & garbage collection: images can be deleted and their space can be recycled.
• Notary: image authenticity can be ensured.
• Graphical user portal: user can easily browse, search repositories and manage projects.
• Auditing: all the operations to the repositories are tracked.
• RESTful API: RESTful APIs for most administrative operations, easy to integrate with external systems.

I had a quick look at this and wow it's crazy how complicated they make deployments. The install script deploy like 8 containers. I thought I can build for source but guess what... it uses docker to build (!).

@girish Ugh, thanks for looking. Too bad they are so bloated.

Let's keep looking.
