Why We Built FastPanel Registry

2026-03-25

When your team grows past a handful of engineers, DockerHub becomes a liability. Rate limits, public images by default, and no fine-grained access control. We built FastPanel Registry because we were frustrated with the alternatives.

The problem with existing registries

DockerHub's free tier limits you to 200 pulls per 6 hours per IP. For a CI/CD pipeline running across multiple agents, you hit this constantly. GitHub Container Registry (ghcr.io) is better but tightly coupled to GitHub Actions. AWS ECR is solid but costs add up and the IAM configuration is complex.

What Registry offers

A private OCI-compatible registry with token-based authentication, tag retention policies and webhook support — tightly integrated with your FastPanel projects.
