Hacker News·2ycloudflare/serverless-registry: A Docker registry backed by Workers and R2.
Cloudflare's serverless Docker registry uses Workers and R2 for managing container images. It supports push/pull workflows and multiple authentication methods, and requires dependencies installed via pnpm. Deployment includes setting up an R2 bucket, configuring wrangler files, and deploying with npx wrangler. The registry can fallback to another registry if images are missing. Limitations include a maximum layer size of 500MB for Docker pushes. Credentials should always be set as secrets, not directly in configuration files.
