As an SRE Manager, this is causing me a hell of a headache this morning. In 30 days a bunch of images we depend on may just disappear. We mostly depend on images from relatively large organizations (`alpine`, `node`, `golang`, etc), so one would want to believe that we'll be fine - they're all either in the open source program or will pay. But I can't hang my hat on that. If those images disappear, we lose the abilit…

Use JFrog Artifactory. If you're with self hosting there's a free JFrog Container Registry edition.

This would make sense if it wasn't a core feature of GitHub LONG BEFORE Microsoft bought them. Can we stop this madness already?

You can vendor images. Never have your product depend on something that is in the internet. Spin up Harbour locally and put it in the middle to cache at the very least.

Imagine if everyone actually did this. Then we would have a myriad of base images hiding even more malware than we do currently. Not to mention vertically integrating the entire Docker layer set defeats the whole point of using Docker in the first place.

No, you're wrong. Everyone who wants to stay in business and makes money actually does it. Has been my experience in all big companies, it's a business continuity problem /not to do it/. You can and should run security in the vendored images.

Is this a matter of developers constantly relearning the lesson of the folly of only supporting the current top thing, or is it a lot harder to support more than one?

I don't know how "hard" it is, but in my particular case I wanted to use this from intellij. It actually works, but the issue is that the docker emulation socket isn't where the ide expects it, and I haven't found a way to tell it where to look for. Once I simlinked the socket, everything worked.

This worked for me:

Connect to Docker Daemon with -> TCP Socket -> Engine API URL -> unix:///run/user/$UID/podman/podman.sock

That sounds very much how chatgpt acts.

Is it? GPT just halucinates the next words in a given text.

Of course it is. What in the parent's post is different from that? The parent post's first sentence is, "People suffering from psychosis can create 'facts' supporting their ideas and believe in them."

People suffering from psychosis can create "facts" supporting their ideas and believe in them. Usually it's the stuff like "someone follows me", "someone wants to hurt me". Psychosis is the entry point to schizophrenia which is more or less, an illness in which brain makes stuff up and the ill person cannot differentiate facts from hallucinations. Possibly there was no defense contract at all.

It's not just people suffering from psychosis who do that. "29% believe aliens exist and 21% believe a UFO crashed at Roswell in 1947. [...] 5% of respondents believe that Paul McCartney died and was secretly replaced in the Beatles in 1966, and just 4% believe shape-shifting reptilian people control our world by taking on human form and gaining power. 7% of voters think the moon landing was fake." -- https://www.pub…

If we go that way, a lot more believe god exists!

What is the best replacement or alternate to Docker?

The most Docker-shaped one is Podman. “Best” depends on what you do with it.

I think the bigger issue here is not the lack of replacements, but the end of oh-so-convenient centralization in DockerHub.
