I don't think I have access to the download statistics, since it's published as an official image and not under my personal namespace or an org I'm in (I'm not in any). https://hub.docker.com/_/gradle says it's been downloaded over 100 million times though. @yosifkit @tianon do either of you know where I can see download statistics on this image?
Thanks! I also asked Docker folks
Sorry for not getting back to this thread sooner! I also poked some folks about this internally in Docker, and I think it's still on their to-do list to get back to you here. 🙇
@oleg-nenashev Regarding needs, this image has been pretty low maintenance for the most part. Occasionally an issue comes up that's more of a Gradle question than a question for this image. One thing Gradle folks could do is give me a channel or contact I can loop into an issue or reach out to in such cases. Although that's not something that happens frequently. Other than that, just having someone to bounce the occasional idea off of might be helpful. For example. just a week or so ago we had to decide how to handle that the upstream ubuntu image now adds a user that has a uid of 1000 that conflicted with the gradle user we were adding.
Hi @keeganwitt . For the community support, generally we do it via the #community-support
channel on the community slack. Or StackOverflow. There are references on https://community.gradle.org/resources/ , but indeed a separate page for referencing would be nice. I will assemble it.
We can also create a '#dockeror
#containers` channel on Slack if you are interested, for whatever discussions.
If you need a direct private channel to contact/ask the Gradle team, It is also something I might be able to set up, though I would prefer to start from a public Community channel
#community-support
sounds like a good place for issues users thought were about this image, but were actually just a regular Gradle question. I'd been referring such questions back to Gradle, but hadn't really suggested which method they should use to ask their question.
I'm not sure if a dedicated channel would be useful or not. I don't have anything other than GitHub issues for folks to use for communication, I'm not sure if something synchronous would be used much or not. I suppose it couldn't hurt to have the option... and I suppose having it would make it easy to pull in #community-support
as appropriate too...

Me neither. I assume it would get some traction but, as long as GitHub Issues are comfortable to you and work well, I would not create new channels
Hi @keeganwitt. Thanks a lot for maintaining the Gradle image over the past years!
We are preparing a blog post and some other stuff for the 50M+ downloads a month milestone. It would also be great to include something for the
_/docker
image. If you would be interested in sharing the download statistics for the last year (https://docs.docker.com/trusted-content/insights-analytics/) or writing some text or a quote from your side, I would be happy to include it.P.S: I know that Gradle has not been involved in this image recently, but I am happy to discuss the needs and see how we could support it.
