And when GitHub starts similar shenanigans, move out to where? I am old enough to know the we can't trust BigTech and their unpredictable behaviors.
Eventually we need to start a Codeberg like alternative using Prototype funds to be self reliant.
Hmm. > GitHub's Container Registry offers free storage for public images. But for how long?
They have a pretty good track record in code hosting (15 years), why would they ruin it for containers?
applies very much to Github, and for all of their services, not just containers. The elephant in the room, hardly needs to be mentioned I would think (Microsoft). We are only a few years into that regime.
It was always unbelievable too me how much they hosted for free. I recklessly pushed over 100gbs of containers the last years, all free. Never made sense to me, even google doesn't do this anymore.
Did GitHub just eat them?
Docker the tool has been a massive benefit to software development, every now and then I have a moan about the hassle of getting something bootstrapped to run on Docker, but it's still worlds better than the old ways of managing dependencies and making sure everyone on a project is aligned on what versions of things are installed. Unfortunately Docker the company appears to be dying, this is the latest in a long line…
ideally a coop of some variety

Instead it has a multi-million dollar company behind it, and VC's who demand profits from a thing that shouldn't have ever had a business plan.

I mean why should you expect someone to host gigabytes of docker images for you, for free?
Are they actively trying to hasten their own demise? I guess I'll be moving our (FOSS) container images to GitHub Registry... but what a pain :/
AWS also charges you to host things in S3. Is it hastening its demise too?
This argument is just weird to me.
