Replaces these SaaS
- Docker Hub · Container image registry
`docker run -d -p 8081:8081 -p 8082:8082 --name nexus -v nexus-data:/nexus-data sonatype/nexus3`. Create a Docker (hosted) repository under Repositories → Create. Migration via skopeo as with the others. Nexus also serves as a proxy/cache for Docker Hub itself — set up a Docker (proxy) repo pointing at hub.docker.com to insulate your team from Hub rate limits.
