Nexus also has a docker registry with all that.

Nexus isn’t a terrible option, but the application feels pretty dated from a deployment and maintenance perspective. We’re using it for ruby gems and internal docker registry. I haven’t looked into viable alternatives for the gems side of things—that works well enough—but we’re replacing the docker registry with gitlab.

Interesting, I didn’t know that. We host a registry with HTTP simple auth and it works for us because we don’t need all that.

AWS has a registry as well. Both solutions are and easy way to host private and public repos. But Dockerhub offers access to a huge ecosystem that everyone is already plugged into that would be devastating if it shut down. You’d potentially have to re create so many base images from scratch.
