Docker images that expire themselves.

Built for images that shouldn't outlive their job.

A free public registry for short-lived OCI images — no signup, standard docker push and docker pull. Set lifetime in the tag; cleanup runs automatically.

• 01

  CI/CD job handoff

  Build once in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, push with :1h, and pull in later jobs — integration tests, security scans, or deploy stages — without paying for permanent registry storage.

• 02

  Pull-request previews

  Publish a branch image for reviewers or staging environments. Use :6h or :1d so preview artifacts disappear after the review window closes.

• 03

  Cross-runner artifacts

  When runners cannot share a local cache, push the built image to a temporary tag and pull it on another agent, region, or self-hosted runner in the same pipeline.

• 04

  Team sharing

  Send a colleague a pull URL for a debug build or reproducer image. No registry account setup — share the tag and let TTL handle cleanup.

• 05

  OSS demos & workshops

  Host tutorial or conference images that should not live forever. Learners practice real registry workflows without provisioning infrastructure.

• 06

  Ephemeral staging

  Spin up short-lived environments from CI-built images. Pair TTL tags with your deploy tooling when you want storage to match the staging window, not your retention policy.

Pass images between pipeline jobs.

Build once, push with a one-hour TTL, and pull it back in a later job — no shared cache or artifact store required.

How TTL tags work.

TTL tags

Whole-tag format: 30m, 1h, 2d, 1w. Lifetimes typically range from 1 minute to 1 week.

Default lifetime

Tags without a TTL value — or outside the allowed range — use the server default (typically 24h).

Protocol

Standard docker push and docker pull — no custom client required.
