## Potential alternatives
OCI resolves a very real pain-point for enterprise users wanting to run a private registry. A potential alternative would be, of course, making the use of a private registry easier, or creating a tool that can maintain a private registry purely based on static files. On that note, we could also implement running the OpenTofu Registry on the same dataset privately, which has been [documented in this issue](https://github.com/opentofu/registry/issues/1518).
These solutions would also work towards the goal of making the ecosystem fully decentralized.
That being said, neither of these solutions are as convenient as OCI since the infrastructure for this protocol is ubiquitous and cheap.
