Simple container registry hosting on FreeBSD

[Freedom]

Hi,

While I have been trying to get rid of Docker & co I will need to host a simple container registry on my home network. Mainly to mirror images I use in case I loose network connectivity.

I was looking at my options on FreeBSD:
- Most straightforward seems to be to install Gitea (Gitea container registry) which is packaged on FreeBSD. But a bit overkill since I do not use Gitea for git.
- Distribution, Harbor or Quay are probably a overkill and a pain to run on FreeBSD
- docker-registry was working but has been abandoned for 10 years
- There are lesser known simpler alternatives I might have a better chance to run like Pulp

What is your personal experience with this, is there an option I missed?

Thanks

I use Gitea as my Docker image repository. I tested many other options but decided to stick with Gitea. The other options where mostly overkill. But, I also use Gitea for Git version control.

Thanks, that was my conclusion too.

It is sad to have to setup Gitea with a DB, etc. because for a basic registry it is a quite trivial HTTP API https://distribution.github.io/distribution/spec/api/#detail

I guess this is why I am trying to avoid this ecosystem

The most simple is https://github.com/distribution/distribution but I haven't tried it on FreeBSD.
