I need to compare Docker Hub to Quay.io. The Slant community recommends Quay.io for most people. Quay.io is ranked 4th while Docker Hub Registry is ranked 8th. Which one is the better option for me?
411
Quay.io is a registry for storing and building container images as well as distributing other OCI artifacts. The service is free for those who want to set up their own public repositories and available for a fee, if you want to create private repositories.
Docker Hub is Docker's official cloud-based registry for Docker images. As you might expect, since Docker Hub is Docker's official registry, it is the default registry when you install Docker.
Docker Hub is a hosted repository service provided by Docker for finding and sharing container images with your team. Key features include: Private Repositories: Push and pull container images. Automated Builds: Automatically build container images from GitHub and Bitbucket and push them to Docker Hub.
The Community Distribution of Quay that powers Red Hat Quay and Quay.io. Quay is a container image registry that enables you to build, organize, distribute, and deploy containers. Quay gives you security over your repositories with image vulnerability scanning and robust access controls.
They are just different Container registry platforms with the main difference in the pricing model they offer.
Quay.io plan is more expensive but provide you features like easier Continuous Integration, Robot accounts, Teams, SSL Encryption, Logging & Auditing...
Docker Hub has a free plan where you have unlimited public repositories, but with rate-limit of pulling only 100 private repositories per 6 hours. You need to pay when you want to disable rate-limit, vulnerability scans, larger teams, or more parallel builds.
EDIT: Updating Docker's plan info as of 12/31/2020
