About

A globally distributed, edge container image registry that leverages the power of Cloudflare's global network. Providing docker pull's 3x faster than DockerHub, Containerflare offers a unique solution for developers looking to distribute their container images worldwide efficiently.

Features

• Global Distribution: Utilize Cloudflare's vast network to pull container images from the edge, closest to where they are needed
• High Performance: Experience speeds up to 3x faster than DockerHub, reducing the time it takes to download and deploy container images
• Built with Astro: Containerflare is developed using the Astro web framework, ensuring a modern and efficient web application
• Cloudflare Pages Hosting: By being hosted on Cloudflare Pages, Containerflare benefits from the additional speed and reliability inherent to the platform

Demo

Use the publicly hosted instance at cfcr.dev:

docker pull cfcr.dev/hello-world

Development

Containerflare can be run locally for either further development or customization.

Note

BEFORE you run the following steps make sure:

• You have Node installed locally on you machine
• You have docker & docker-compose installed and running

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/MNThomson/containerflare.git && cd containerflare

# To start developing, run containerflare
npm start

The development environment is now running and accesible at https://localhost:4321/

To benchmark the implementation:

# Build the empty container (so there is no docker cache effecting results)
cd dev && make build

# Run the empty container
make run

# Within the container shell run the command to pull from the locally running containerflare instance
pull
