About Project Quay
Project Quay is the open-source container registry behind Quay. You run it on your own infrastructure to build, store and distribute container images, with access controls for who can push and pull and security scanning of stored images.
The repository also includes a mirror-registry tool and a configuration tool, and development is very active. It suits organisations and technically confident individuals who want a full-featured private registry instead of relying on a public one.
