Looking into registry alternatives - Docker OSS shutting down

[sigaloid]

Today it was announced that Docker would be deleting certain Open Source organizations. https://blog.alexellis.io/docker-is-deleting-open-source-images/

We, too, got this message from Docker. As such we are looking into alternatives:

• GitHub Content Repository
• Other providers
• Revert to single user (spikecodes/libreddit)

Docker came back with an apology and clarified/changed how they're dealing with this: https://www.docker.com/blog/we-apologize-we-did-a-terrible-job-announcing-the-end-of-docker-free-teams/

Whether it's still worth using needs to be evaluated, but certainly have a backup plan just in case.

That is great news - thank you so much for the link. I'll leave this up in case this ever is relevant in the future, but I'll mark it as solved!

It would still be nice to support GHCR at least. Dockerhub still has awful rate limits and retention.
