GitHub Packages is free for public repositories so seems like a good option for OSS which likely have a GitHub presence already. https://github.com/features/packages

Huh, I knew GitHub Packages supported npm, NuGet and Maven, but had no idea it supported Docker images too.

My guess is a lot of people don't know this. If it becomes better known, I can imagine something of an exodus from Docker Hub to GitHub Packages for OSS projects.

    Currently github docker registry is missing some important features, such as arbitrary media types (useful for hosting helm charts and similar things)

    Further down someone mentioned that it still requires logging in to download public packages, though they're apparently working on it.
