For a local environment using image mode for RHEL, both Red Hat Quay and Red Hat Satellite serve as local container registries to store, mirror, and distribute bootable container images (bootc).

You can create a local container registry by using one of the following methods:

• Standalone Red Hat Quay: This method installs Red Hat Quay in a standalone environment or within a Red Hat OpenShift environment. For advanced features such as vulnerability scanning and geo-replication, Red Hat Quay can be deployed on-premise as a dedicated registry for bootable containers.
• Red Hat Satellite: Satellite provides a native path for managing image-based clients. It can mirror the base rhel10/rhel-bootc image from the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog and publish derived images through Content Views.
  • You can build a local container registry for Image mode by using Red Hat Satellite 6.17 and later.
