What's Good
Apache-2.0 (project-zot/zot), release v2.1.22 (2026-10-06), commit on 2026-10-20. ★~2.9k (~8 a week), developed since 2019. Useful when you want a private registry or pull-through mirror without running a database and a fleet of services; it stores to local disk or S3.
The Catch
A much smaller community than Harbor, and team features such as per-project RBAC and replication policies are thinner. Because it follows the OCI spec closely, test older Docker-format tooling against it before migrating.
Verdict
The lightweight registry to pick when Harbor is too much.
