what you get

Built for production.

Everything you need to run a reliable, secure, and observable private registry on Kubernetes — out of the box.

⎈

Gateway API first

Kubernetes Gateway API (HTTPRoute) with automatic fallback to classic Ingress. One flag, three modes.

🔒

Secure by default

Hardened security contexts, read-only root filesystem, non-root UID, and dropped Linux capabilities out of the box.

📦

Multiple storage backends

Filesystem, S3 (with IRSA support), Azure Blob, and Swift — configured via a single values key.

🔁

HA ready

Stable haSharedSecret via lookup, Redis descriptor cache, StatefulSet mode, and HPA support for production scale.

📊

Prometheus native

Metrics endpoint plus ServiceMonitor, PodMonitor, and PrometheusRule resources for full observability.

🧪

Thoroughly tested

Four-layer test suite: helm-lint, static analysis, helm-unittest, and kind cluster integration tests on every PR.
