Open source tools were developed by the community and they're being harrassed now for monetization. How is that being hateful? I am looking out for the community in this sense.

They are not developed by a 'community'. The developers who build it are paid for by investors. Those investors want a huge return. It's not open source, it's bait and wait

Bait and wait and ... But what's step 3? Doesn't seem to work super well, hmm

Until GitHub Packages Docker Registry stops asking for authentication to pull public images, it might as well not exist to me. Have they resolved that?

GitHub Packages have an option to make the image as `public` or `private`. Public images can be pulled without auth (as the case should be).

I don’t see the option anywhere, nor can I locate an announcement of any related change, but I tried an old public repo of mine (which was impossible to pull without auth, so it didn’t even work inside GitHub Actions) and it seems to work now. Gotta say the documentation and communication leave a lot to be desired.

Edit: I guess I’m on grandfathered (?) GitHub Packages Docker Registry, instead of the newer GitHub Container Registry (which is still in beta?).

Thank god, someones gotta pay for the free container registry all my sideprojects depend on!

Have you tried GitHub packages?

GitHub Packages Docker Registry (aka docker.pkg.github.com) is deprecated and will sunset this year. It's strongly advised to migrate to GitHub Container Registry instead.

Totally tangential: The last 3 DockerCons featured at least one hijāb glorification. Not sure what message Docker is trying to give to the world, especially when the rest of the world is fighting this oppressive practice that demeans & objectifies women!

Let's see how many hijabs are used in this year's DockerCon.

The fact that they had a $95 million round in 2015 and then a $23 million round in 2021 leads me to believe their valuation is a lot lower now.

I’d imagine that some of their valuation was based on the future success of docker swarm and what they would monetise around it

Was there ever a technical reason why swarm never won out in the market? I've still got a couple of multi-node swarms that work great and are WAY easier to configure than k8s. I never really understood why it didn't take off.

When open-source companies develop the majority of their product, haters will complain that they’re “not open enough”. When open-source companies invite more contributions from their community, haters will complain that they’re “harassing the community for monetization”. Simply put, some people will never be happy no matter what Docker does, and clearly you are one of them.

There's a silent majority size x100? that is happy with both approaches :-) look at Actix-web for example (when the founder quit), the happy but silent people were like 500x more than the a bit angry ones

These cookie banners are so annoying - govt messes this type of stuff over and over. Let me control cookies on my end, I can choose not to accept cookies using my own browser controls, or delete them after 1 hour etc.

GitHub has no cookie banner[0], how come docker.com needs one? [0]: https://github.blog/2020-12-17-no-cookie-for-you/

Per my comment on the HN discussion at the time, that was based on a very dubious interpretation of the law. They are getting around needing the popup by only using "necessary" cookies, which doesn't need consent, but then they turn around and use the cookies for unnecessary things (like analytics) that therefore do require a consent popup, but they don't ask for it.

Analogy would be like:

Law: you can't store someone's picture or personal data without their consent, unless it's necessary for the transaction.

Most companies:

GitHub: We authenticate you by your face, so it's necessary to collect that, so we don't need to get your consent for it. Then, once we have it, we do whatever the fudge we want with it.

I hope they work on Docker Swarm. “Docker compose” for multiple machines needs working on!

I really love Docker Swarm, way way way simpler and easier to work with. So far having a 3 manager with 6 workers works flawlessly with not a single issue.

I've started with 1 Manager/Worker only and grow from there to 3 managers/workers and later kept the 3 managers and added worker nodes to the cluster.

It made me get into Docker even though for whatever reason I hate anything Docker related.

I believe the reason it's "Series B" after like 10 VC raises is that Docker, Inc recapitalized and basically wiped out existing shareholders (former employees, etc). I'm surprised there's not been a stockholder lawsuit, since they could've presumably sold the company for something and returned some money to the prior stockholders.
