Provide alternate image registry to Docker Hub #129

Closed bjw-s closed 1 year ago

bjw-s commented 1 year ago

Since Docker Hub has been applying rate limits on image pulls for a while now, and their more recent move to scrap free teams I feel that Docker Hub is becoming more and more hostile towards the OSS/hobbyist community.

I would like to propose providing GitHub Container Registry as an alternative (or completely switching over to it) for the project.

Would you be open to this? If so, I'd be willing to write up a PR to implement.

Hi @bjw-s ,

I read about that yesterday.

Somehow, the images we published are not concerned from what I know. Can you confirm?

And I would avoid pushing twice (dockerhub, gcr), and I don't know if people want to switch.

So I would say: as we don't have a problem, now, I don't think I want to fix it. If the situation changes, yes definitely we would switch.

Hi @tomsquest,

Here's an official statement from Docker explaining the changes (Their first attempt was in fact, terrible): https://www.docker.com/blog/we-apologize-we-did-a-terrible-job-announcing-the-end-of-docker-free-teams/

TLDR Options:

If you're using the Free Team Org plan then you'll need to upgrade to the pay plan.
Apply for the sponsorship https://www.docker.com/community/open-source/application/
Move to https://ghcr.io

Hope this helps you and others in making future decisions on this matter.

Hi @clo-dev ,

I am using a Personal plan, so "everything" is fine for now (not yet a problem). If DockerHub becomes the new TravicCI, definitely I will switch (or github/microsoft will do first :/ ).
