> Cloud native registry that stores, signs, and scans artifacts

Harbor is an open-source container and artifact registry that stores, signs, and scans content such as container images and Helm charts. It offers role-based access control, vulnerability scanning, policy-based replication between registries, and comprehensive activity auditing. Harbor is designed to run via Docker Compose on Linux hosts or on Kubernetes clusters via Helm.
