How is this different from the build service provided by registry.hub.docker.com?

From what I understand, this tools build a container and push it to the registry for every change, where as when you are using the registry alone, you have to push the images manually?

Am I right?

The Docker Hub does also have a mode called "Automated Builds" which will pull down the repository, build an image based on the Dockerfile and push it. However, you do have to pick one or the other (you cannot push your own image to a repository configured as an Automated Build).

This is actually a open source project you can host your self, so have your own version of dockerhub auto build plus we added a way to build repos without dockerfile with assigning default dockerfiles based on language and you can push to any registry you want. Be it dockerhub or quay or your own registry.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

But you can manually trigger a build when automated builds are enabled, for rare cases when the automated trigger didn't do what you wanted. Works really well in practice.

Also does the besides the stuff i mention in the other comment of, pushing to any registry, you can self host and modify, it also builds instantly and streams the logs.

Full Disclosure: I work on Quay.io at CoreOS.

I'm curious how security is handled with containerfactory.io.

We just gave a very detailed presentation on our build system at CoreOS Fest which will be available in video form soon. As a part of this talk, we mentioned all the security implications of building other people's container images.
