Project Quay is an open-source container image registry that builds, stores, and distributes container images. It implements the Docker Registry v2 and OCI distribution specifications and adds enterprise features like access control, geo-replication, and vulnerability scanning via Clair.

Use cases

• self-host a private docker registry for my team
• store and distribute OCI container images
• scan container images for security vulnerabilities
• geo-replicate container images across regions
• manage team access and permissions for container images
• integrate container builds with GitHub or GitLab CI

When to choose

• you need a self-hosted or enterprise container registry with ACLs and audit logs
• you want OCI distribution spec v1.1 support with geo-replicated storage backends like S3, GCS, or Ceph
• you need integrated vulnerability analysis via Clair and OIDC/LDAP authentication

When to avoid

• you just need a minimal registry without team management or vulnerability scanning - the upstream Docker registry may suffice
• you want a hosted registry without operating infrastructure - quay.io or a cloud provider's registry is simpler
• your stack is non-Python and you prefer a registry written in Go or another language
