That's an interesting question.  The docker source plugin, quite naturally,
uses/supports a docker registry which is specific to docker rather than
entirely generic to OCI, though as Sander noted by referring to
https://blog.docker.com/2018/04/docker-registry-api-standardized-oci/ there is
the intention to standardise the docker registry API for OCI though as far as I
can tell there hasn't been an official release of this so we know for sure how
we'll interact with officially OCI compliant registries yet.

However, the core functionality of the docker source plugin is definitely
similar to the OCI specification (as you might expect) so perhaps an extension
of this plugin may be appropriate.

Thank you for raising this to my attention.
