Harbor is an open source cloud native container registry that stores, signs, and scans container images and other OCI artifacts. It extends Docker Distribution with security, identity, and management features such as role-based access control, vulnerability scanning, content signing, and replication across registries.
Use cases
- self-host a private docker registry for kubernetes
- scan container images for vulnerabilities before deployment
- sign and verify container images for supply chain security
- replicate images between multiple container registries
- manage multi-tenant container artifact projects with rbac
- integrate oidc authentication with a container registry
- deploy a highly available registry on kubernetes with helm
When to choose
- you need a private, self-hosted registry with access control and audit trails
- you want vulnerability scanning and image signing built into your registry
- you run kubernetes or docker at scale and need reliable artifact storage close to your cluster
- you need to replicate images across registries or enforce content policies
When to avoid
- you only need a simple registry without security or management features - plain Docker Distribution may suffice
- you prefer a fully managed registry service like ECR, GCR, or Docker Hub
- you do not want to operate the infrastructure required to run Harbor
