About
DigitalOcean Container Registry is a managed private registry for storing and managing container images alongside DigitalOcean infrastructure. It is designed to support modern application delivery workflows by keeping images close to Kubernetes clusters and other DigitalOcean services for faster, more reliable deployments.
The service integrates directly with the Docker CLI and DigitalOcean Kubernetes, making it straightforward to build, push, and pull images as part of continuous deployment pipelines. It also supports private repositories, role-based access control, and encrypted storage to help teams manage container assets securely.
- Private container image storage and management
- Direct integration with Docker CLI workflows
- Seamless compatibility with DigitalOcean Kubernetes and App Platform
- Role-based access control for team access management
- Encrypted storage and secure image transfer
Free Tier Value
The Starter free tier includes up to 1 repository and 500 MiB storage with no storage overage charges. The cheapest paid plan that exceeds the free cap is Basic at $5/month with 5 repositories and 5 GiB storage, so the conservative free-tier value is prorated as $5/3 = $1.67 per month. No explicit no-credit-card or trial offer is stated on the pricing page, and this is a capped free tier rather than always-free unbounded.
What's included in the free tier
- Store up to 1 container registry repository.
- Use up to 500 MiB of storage.
- Pay no storage overage charges on the free tier.
