Since Docker announced that it would remove unused images from Docker Hub, I've been interested in listing places where I could host mine.

As it's for personal purposes, I'm interested in free plans. Here's what I found:

|                                       Provider                                       |             Private?              |                                 Monthly limit                                  ||                                      Details                                      |
