Satama Container Registry

What Satama Container Registry is

Satama Container Registry stores, manages, and distributes container images for research projects. Based on Harbor, it provides a central place to push, pull, and organize images. Role-based access control and image signing help control which images are authorized and verified for deployment. Integrated vulnerability scanning and software bills of materials tools help users assess images they control. A web interface displays container-image information, while pushing and pulling requires a compatible OCI client such as Docker, Podman, or ORAS. CSC recommends Linux knowledge, and users are responsible for the security of their own images. Access is obtained through MyCSC, where users can start with a default quota through self-service and apply for more resources; some resources are available only on request. Free use is limited to cases meeting CSC’s free-of-charge policy, primarily eligible research and education projects affiliated with Finnish research-performing organizations. The listed plan is free, with usage counted in billing units. CSC Service Desk is the support contact, and Rahti is listed as an interoperable service.
