ZOT OCI Registry

Zot implements a container image registry that follows the OCI image format and the OCI distribution specification, providing a vendor‑neutral service for storing and retrieving OCI‑compatible images. It is designed for production environments, offering a self‑hostable solution that can be deployed without a subscription and is available under the Apache‑2.0 license. The project emphasizes stability and includes extensive CI badges for build, test, conformance, and security checks, indicating ongoing verification of its functionality and compliance.

The registry is intended for teams and organizations that need a reliable, open‑source alternative to commercial image registries, particularly those that want to avoid vendor lock‑in while retaining full compatibility with OCI standards. Its documentation is hosted at zotregistry.dev, and the codebase is written in Go, with references available through the Go package ecosystem.

Key characteristics include being free to use, fully open source, and classified as a stable release. The project also follows a code of conduct and adheres to best practices for security and quality, as reflected by its OpenSSF Scorecard and CII Best Practices badges.
