After 993 days (~2 years and 8 months) since the first public commit, Kellnr just crossed 1,000 GitHub stars! 🦀

For anyone who hasn't run into it: Kellnr is a self-hosted Rust crate registry. Think a private crates.io you fully control. It supports private crates, docs.rs-style documentation generation, crates.io proxying/caching, SQLite & PostgreSQL, local or S3 storage, a web UI, and user/group access control.

A bit of perspective on how we got here:

• ⭐ 1,004 stars, 80 forks
• 👥 40 contributors
• 📝 2,212 commits (~15.6 per week, every week, for ~2.7 years)
• 📦 66 releases (~2 a month) — currently on v6.3.0
• 🔀 939 merged pull requests
• 💻 ~33k lines of Rust + ~20k lines of TypeScript/Vue

Huge thank you to everyone who starred the project, opened issues, and especially the contributors who sent PRs. This milestone is yours as much as mine. ❤️

If you've been wanting a private registry for your team or homelab, give it a try and let me know what you think. Feedback, issues, and PRs always welcome!
