Spegel is a stateless cluster-local OCI registry mirror for Kubernetes that lets every node share container images peer-to-peer via containerd. It reduces external registry traffic, speeds up pod startup, and keeps workloads deployable during registry outages.
Use cases
- speed up container image pulls in a kubernetes cluster
- avoid docker hub rate limiting when pulling images
- keep pods schedulable when an external registry is down
- reduce egress traffic from pulling images
- share cached images between cluster nodes without a central registry
- improve image pull performance on edge nodes
When to choose
- you run a multi-node Kubernetes cluster with containerd and want faster, more resilient image pulls
- you want to cut external registry bandwidth and rate-limit exposure without running a pull-through cache
- you want a stateless mirror with no extra storage to operate
When to avoid
- your cluster uses a container runtime other than containerd
- you need strict multi-tenant image access control, since Spegel exposes every node's cache cluster-wide
- you run a local development cluster, where the project recommends Hall instead
