Allow hyphenated usernames and organization names #373

Open paddy-hack opened 9 years ago

As you can see, I have a hyphenated username on GitHub. Same thing on GitLab. I also use hyphenated organization names with both services. Not being able to use the same names on Docker Hub is confusing at best. It would be really nice if the user/organization naming rules for the various services you want to integrate with are the same.

We really would like to have that feature, too, for gap-system (which is called that way everywhere, except on Docker Hub, where it is gapsystem).

+1

+2 - one for for gap-system, and one for my username too.

+1. I'd really like this for an organization I'm working with too, mongo-express.

Any idea why this issue is closed? Hyphens in names is pretty important and #280 seems to be about short names...

This issue hasn't been closed, the docker-solr/docker-solr#24 issue has.

Whoops!

+1 same problem here - would like consistent github/dockerhub user and organisation names

+2 !

I would prefer to use the same name from Github as well, for both scenarios.

My user name; ivan-pinatti

Organization; ciandt-dev

I interested in this feature too. My organization name use hyphen both in Bitbucket and Github and would be good to use the same pattern in Docker Hub.

how about underscores?

For a number of folks the problem cropped up when their hyphenated real-world names managed to get into company login names literally, which doesn't cause problem for the most part because dashes aren't special characters to the shell. Other real-world name bits, like apostrophes and and spaces (O'Henry, mac Allister, etc, this list is NOT exhaustive) are both special to the shell and in other context, so admins resist them with good reason. So mostly we're taliking about names that admins thought would be fine as logins (both Unix and the Windows) and are controlled by company policy and often very, very hard to fix for long-term employees, YET we still want github/gitlab/whatever to be adopted easily within the organization, which wants to use LDAP auth or whatever from their current authentication server as the git* auth service.

So, the idea is to let that just work. Oddly, I've never seen an underscore in a real name or a login name, but YMMV. :-) I don't think Git services likely ever end up being company's core auth servers, but should that happen, there's the reverse (small? Anyone seen this?) risk that github's permissiveness would cause the problem in reverse. So I wouldn't recommend going nuts here,

I totally haven't checked, but if Github's intent is to allow Unicode usernames, that's would seem at first to derail having any restrictions at all, but there are still good reasons to ban token-splitting special characters - most unicode looks pretty opaque and harmless from that perspective in a way a space or asterisk totally doesn't.

2 years and nothing? Guess this isn't happening?

:/

+1 for basis-company

ama-team joins the the feature request crowd

nf-core joins in here as well....

Come on docker. It's been 3 years since this was reported. I'm cancelling my subscription since dockerhub is completely unusable for my github org.

If this isn't going to happen, could you tell us? Would rather not hold out hope if it's not gonna happen.

If this isn't going to happen, could you at least make the interface such that it actually tells you what is wrong with the user name, in stead of turning the border of the input box to red without any form of feedback (it took me some time to notice that anyhow)?

please please

Got yet another survey from Docker asking how they can improve DockerHub. I can only respond with a link to this ticket as it's completely useless for my corporate repos under 'ctrl-alt-it' and 'smiles-services' thanks to having dashes in their names.

2 companies 2 years 12 months * $12/mo = $576 in lost profit from just one user due to this bug.

thanks @meticulous-dft for taking a look.

any updates?

+1 and waiting... I use 0 to replace -, it is very ugly...

update?

please please please

Just switch to GitHub for docker builds and hosting. Works fine, and is cheaper than dockerhub.

Works OK if you use Github for SCM and CI, but not as attractive if you use other things for those and Docker Hub purely as a means of distribution.

Sure. But at least it works. ;)

Or GitLab.com which is what I've been using from when I submitted this issue.

How is this still an issue? I can't believe it.

Pretty much every competitor to docker hub has this implemented. Try GitHub, DigitalOcean, Google or Amazon's container registries.
