README.md

kontain.me serves Docker container images generated on-demand at the time they are requested.

These include:

random.kontain.me, which serves randomly-generated images.
mirror.kontain.me, which pulls and caches images from other registries.
flatten.kontain.me, which pulls and flattens images from other registries, so they contain only one layer.
ko.kontain.me, which builds a Go binary into a container image using ko.
buildpack.kontain.me, which builds a GitHub repo using CNCF Buildpacks.

Caveats

The registry does not accept pushes.
This is a silly hack and probably isn't stable. Don't rely on it for anything serious.
It could probably do a lot of smart things to be a lot faster. 🤷

How it works

The service is implemented using Google Cloud Run, with a custom domain mapping to https://kontain.me which provides a managed SSL certificate.

When the service receives a request for an image manifest, it parses the request and generates layers for the requested image, writing the blobs to Google Cloud Storage. After it receives the manifest, docker pull fetches the blobs. The app simply redirects to Cloud Storage to serve the blobs. Blobs are deleted after 10 days.
