I suspect docker removing the free tier is going to absolutely devistate them. All the open-source software, which is what dominated docker, is now scrambling to find alternatives.
Also since docker treates docker hub as first class for fetching images I suspect people will move off docker entierly.
It is going to be pretty crazy for the open source community too having all the images they depend on just disapear. Dev chains everywhere are going to break...
@freemo Yea the design decision to allow image names to fall back to docker by default was plenty questionable but is now definitely on the wrong side of history. It's funny that it's by their own hand and amidst a wave of supply chain and typosquatting attacks
@arichtman Yea agreed. Right now im already looking to jump ship from docker (should there be a good alternative) and most of the reason is the fall back to hub...
@freemo
I used Podman for quite a while, out-the-box rootless, no daemon or install, backed by Red Hat (fwiw). I had good success, and the `buildah` workflow was nice (even runs in containers!).
Skopeo also has a couple features that one-up Docker.
Where Podman started to fall down for me was lacking the new buildkit features for build-time secrets. But that will come eventually.
There's also apparently Nerdctl and LXC/Lima but that looks considerably less popular.
