DigitalOcean Container Registry

The DigitalOcean Container Registry (DOCR) offers all the security of a private Docker image registry, with extra tool support that enables easy integration with your Docker environment and DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters. These registries are private, and co-located in the datacenters where DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters are operated, ensuring secure, stable, and performant rollout of images to your clusters.

To create a registry and get started, see the DigitalOcean Container Registry Quickstart.

Plans and Pricing

DOCR has three subscription plans:

• Starter: Free offering that lets you try out DOCR.
• Basic: Allows more repositories and storage needed for larger projects. Costs $5.00 per month.
• Professional: Allows unlimited number of repositories and 100 GB of storage to scale up your projects even further. Costs $20.00 per month.

• Extra storage is charged at the end of the day and is prorated based on the number of days your storage exceeds the quota in the given month.
• In the future, each plan will have a bandwidth allowance and additional outbound data transfer (from the registry to the internet) will be $0.10 per GiB.

Note

Untagged images count towards your storage quota, which may result in additional cost. To delete any untagged images, clean up your registry.
