Zot Registry

A vendor-neutral, OCI-native container image registry.

Visit Zot Registry

Zot is an open-source container image registry that implements the OCI Distribution specification for storing and distributing container images and OCI artifacts. It provides a self-hosted registry that can be deployed on bare metal Linux or with Kubernetes and Helm, and it supports pushing and pulling image content through standard tooling such as Docker and containerd.

The registry includes a web interface for finding images, a command line tool called zli, and an API with GraphQL-based search capabilities. Its documented features cover authentication and authorization, image signature verification, immutable tags, software provenance, retention policies, mirroring, and clustering for scale-out and highly available deployments. Extensions are available, and the project provides guides for CI/CD pipelines, security posture, storage planning, and performance benchmarking with zb.

Zot is intended for teams operating container image registries in development, CI/CD, and production environments, including those deploying on Kubernetes. The project is hosted on GitHub under project-zot/zot and is sponsored by Cisco Systems, Inc.
