Publish to Github's Package repo in response to Dockerhub's new rate limits

Open davralin opened this issue 9 months ago • 7 comments

https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2025/03/24/prepare-now-docker-hub-rate-limits-will-impact-gitlab-ci-cd/ On April 1, 2025, Docker will implement new pull rate limits to Docker Hub that may significantly impact CI/CD pipelines across the industry, including those running on GitLab. The most significant change is the 10 pulls-per-hour limit for unauthenticated users.

Could the release artifacts also be published to Github's OCI-registry?

Thanks for asking. Currently nothing is being planned but will take some time to evaluate this.

@ShreyasZare Hi and thank you for the gr amazing job. But now i wuls set up a new server and got hit by the rate limit from docker hub. so it would nice to move to github registry.

@Delta1977 Thanks for the feedback. Just trying to understand how the rate limit is being implemented. The docs say that limit is 100 pulls/6hrs for unauthenticated users. I am not sure how you got affected by this but do let me know about it.

He was probably affected by this because he pulled more than 100 containers in less than six hours?

This isn't because of one single container, it's because everyone uses DockerHub. The more people that actually publish alternatives, the better is it for everyone.

I didn't pull 100 containers. I think docket hub accumulates on ip nets. Over an other line it works without problems.

Ya, the mention that the rate limiting is on per IP basis for IPv4 and per /64 for IPv6. For people behind CGNAT, this could be a severe issue if they do not have docker account.

Docker personal account gives 200 pulls per 6hrs with no IP based restrictions.

Hey, I second this too and hope it's published here. Not only because of the ratelimits, but also to improve availability on more registries

You may also consider quay.io or Gitlab as alternative publishers too
