Does Quay support deleting images/tags/repositories in the registry? That's a huge pain point with the official registry image, it's storage requirements grow constantly and we have yet to find a way to actually remove data completely (the garbage collector never worked for us).

Is there any reason to believe IBM hasn’t been a good open source citizen? Arguably a lot of OS progress that we are seeing today, especially in the enterprise, is a direct result of IBM’s decades old investments in tools like Eclipse, which was probably the first enterprise grade open source development software, but more importantly, by promoting OS in the enterprise in the late 90s and early 2000s at a time when M…

Didn’t they also support Linux development before it was fashionable?

Yes, they did.

> Openshift 4.x is open-source. That's great to hear. My mistake then, last time I've opened http://github.com/openshift/origin , I saw OpenShift 3.11 even though latest release was 4.2 at the time. From that, and given the fact that all other RedHat products are upstream first, I've made a conclusion that OpenShift 4 is no longer open-source. > From my understanding, most of it's been blocked on Fedora CoreOS being…

We needed fedora coreos. OpenShift used RHEL CoreOS. It took longer for fedora coreos because we also wanted fedora coreos to be a sufficient replacement for ContainerLinux. That integration started passing CI with openshift today. Readme updates and lots of this stuff need to be done - we left the readme at 3.11 because that was a coherent install (vs the more work in progress of fedora coreos). Every bit of source…

Is there already some documentation on how to play with it?

Without getting all SJW on you I think it's important to highlight that 20 USD/pm is still quite a lot to most people. To illustrate: My employer gives me $150 cloud credits. 20 USD seems like pocket change Me paying out of pocket...20 that's like 2x netflix but fine whatever. Me being part of the other 95% of the world...unaffordable. But really my main objection here is why. To borrow my gitlab example...how does a…

Because it's more than just UI? To stick with your example, where in OSS git do you get a task runner that executes your test pipeline? Do you think that might use some RAM to coordinate? Yes. Where do you get an audit log exporter in OSS git? Etc.

Oh this isn't even pipeline anything yet. It won't even install.

Normally I'd assume it's not working because I'm doing something wrong. But this is their omnibus installer - it's a single line.

So then use docker hub

Might have a look. A couple attempts and various error messages later I'm not super enthusiastic about gitlab though tbh.

I hate to break it to you, you are no longer a red hatter, you are an ibm’er and at the mercy of their board of directors. You’ll remain open source right up until the moment they decide that’s not the best way to utilize their recent acquisition. I hope for all of us that doesn’t happen anytime soon, but IBM acquired Redhat, not the other way around... plenty of sun folks learned that the hard way.

I bet the same has been said about VMware, GitHub and LinkedIn. They are all still doing pretty well today, last I checked. And they weren't acquisitions that required the acquiring company to get investors in to close the deal.

The long history of corporate acquisitions disagrees with you. Those are outliers, not the norm.

"What is Project Quay? It's an open-source distribution of Red Hat Quay." So, what is Quay? And why the information pages assume everyone knows what it is?

A quay is a the platform you load or unload containers to. It's usually paired with a wharf in a harbor.

And Harbor is a name of VMware's open-source registry.

Prerequisites: CPUs: Two or more virtual CPUs RAM: 4GB or more Why does a container registry need so many resources?

Most of it will be used for cache by kernel if you don't use the image building and Clair on the same host.

If CentOS didn't exist, that customer segment would jump to OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, etc. Same story for Ansible, etc. The real money is with the organizations that feel the need (for many good and bad reasons) to pay millions of dollars for support, consulting, and the like. They don't care about the people that are looking to save a few grand on licenses.

You know what, after thinking this through I agree with you. Reversing position publicly is always risky, but you're right I'd probably just move to Ubuntu and if I need support I'd pay Canonical. I have lots of familiarity with Cent/RHEL which is why I'd prefer that, but I could gain that with Debian/et al without too much effort. It's possible that the existence of CentOS is partially keeping RHEL viable. Maybe Fed…

I've used CentOS in every gig I've been at until my current one (we use full-on RHEL here). Even if they're not paying for support it means that the industry is still thinking Red Hat; a long play.

In that case, I'll be a software longshoreman going forward.
