What do you like using for your own repo? Artifactory? Something else?

I have experience with ECR. If you’re in the AWS ecosystem it does the job.

You've now replaced one service with another :)

But maybe ECR is better than Docker Hub.

Anyone have recommendations for an image cache? Native kubernetes a plus. What would be really nice is a system with mutating admission webhooks for pods which kicks off a job to mirror the image to a local registry and then replaces the image reference with the mirrored location.

Quay.io

Quay.io goes down way too frequently to be a solution to Docker Hub being down.

I had some images in cache, but not all of them, and pull is failing for example, i have redis:7.2-alpine in cache, but not golang:1.24.5-alpine I needed the golang image to start my dev-backend so i replaced FROM golang:1.24.5-alpine with FROM redis:7.2-alpine, and manually installed golang with apk in the redis container :)

You changed your base image and docker build process for a temporary outage? Or do you mean that this in general will be better, as you avoid one in-between image?

I changed just for that outage, because i couldn't pull the other image

you're not wrong :) and i can't claim to have stress tested either.

We do a local (well, internal) mirror for "all" these things. So, we're basically never stuck. It mirrors our CPAN, NPM, Composer, Docker and other of these web-repos. Helps on the CI tooling as well.

What server do you use?

Some hacked together homemade jank. I have a dream of refining and releasing.

I haven't seen anything like it, except as part of Gitlab perhaps. But I'm sure that it would have a lot of demand and has the potential to become a popular project. Good luck!

https://github.com/spegel-org/spegel

That looks pretty close to what I want. Thanks!

I initially built Spegel to deal with a series of GHCR outages along with rate limit changes in Docker Hub. I am a bit biased but it is a no brainier to run Spegel to mitigate these types of issues.

Thank you. Question, how large of clusters have you deployed spegel to? I run clusters which are well beyond the defined k8s limits and sometimes when we put stuff in there it blows up as it wasn’t ever tested at those scales (for example Cilium) https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/best-practices/cluster-larg...

The images I use the most, we pull and push to our own internal registry, so we have full control. There are still some we pull from Docker Hub, especially in the build process of our own images. To work around that, on AWS, you can prefix the image with public.ecr.aws/docker/library/ for example public.ecr.aws/docker/library/python:3.12 and it will pull from AWS's mirror of Docker Hub.

> To work around that, on AWS, you can prefix the image with public.ecr.aws/docker/library/ I believe anyone can pull from the public ecr, not just clients in AWS

Yeah, anyone can, but I think you'll be rate limited if you're not on AWS. So fine for a one off, but not something to put in your CI.

Not Google Artifact Registry... Our Docker Hub pull-through mirror went down with the Docker Hub outage. Images were still there but all image tags were gone

Thanks for sharing. Good to know. I Was considering using it for that purpose.
