Artifactory is a tire fire though.

Someone (maybe the podman folks?) should do what every Linux distribution has done, and set up a network of signed mirrors that can be rsynced.

I think the scale would be the problem.

Debian is 5TB.

Five years ago when Docker changed a storage policy they said it would save 5PB. I can't find the current size of Docker Hub.

That's a huge cost to expect from a free mirror service, especially when a large fraction is of very limited interest, and unlike a Linux distribution Docker Hub isn't organized. (It's easy to only mirror the AMD64 packages for Debian, for example.)

The Docker client also isn't able to work with a partial mirror.
