I've been thinking about using this to replace my self-hosted docker repo. Does anyone know how well this works with hosting a docker repo?

Afaik it works perfectly. Podman can use Docker hub with zero issues, and is sometimes configured as the default repo for fetching images without a qualified name. Conversely, I think Docker works perfectly with the Podman ecosystem repos too (like quay.io)
