docker
organization name restriction
Hi,
at the moment I cannot create 3-letter organization name. e.g. I'd like to create organization for the project 'Reproducible Experiment Platform' that is abbreviated by 'rep' and no 4-letter acronym seem to work.
Would it be difficult to allow it?
Hi @anaderi, sorry for the late response.
So this was a discussion point a while back and the decision was to disallow user/organization names less than < 3 characters. I can't remember the reasoning behind this so i'll try to ping the appropriate individuals to get this discussion back on track.
At this moment it's not a high priority fix though.
@metalivedev @kencochrane @ChristopherBiscardi @marcusmartins @bcwalrus
The current setup seems to be to disallow names that are <= 3 characters. Could we move that to < 3 (<= 2)? That would allow names like IBM or acronyms such as HPE (for Hewlett Packard Enterprise). This would make it easier for some business namespaces.
Hi! It's also not very clear what the actual naming rules are. I'd like to register our organization 25th-floor which is not a valid name. Also 25thfloor isn't but 25th is a valid one for some reason, and 25ths too.
GitHub allows three-letter organizations; it'd be great for consistency to have them at DockerHub as well. I know there's no requirement, but it's nice if we could have the repo names match up between the two.
@chriskuehl The same is for usernames - I have a 3-letter username on GitHub and I can't have the same username on Docker Hub - I guess it must be at least as annoying for organizations.
@mattfarina @anaderi I don't think it will ever get fixed because it's the same for usernames and I was told this by the support: "Unfortunately it isn't on our roadmap to allow 3 character usernames and it's enforced at the database level so we cannot make any manual adjustments. Apologize for the inconvenience."
See my comments in issue docker/docker#8399 for more info.
I've got the same problem as 'bountin'. Can't register my corp name as namespace, nor my division, nor - or _ separated combination in any kind. When adding a tailing xx all works.
Would be nice to have a more fitting corporation name.
The organization i work for (@4D) has a 2 letter namespace on Github, would it be possible to also get a 2 letter namespace on Docker?
Can you add validation output? I had to come here to figure out why I couldn't create an org.
I echo Rick, we want to experiment with docker but can't create an organisation because no matter what we enter the namespace errors with absolutely no hint of what the problem is.
I checked the ajax response, it says the following: "organization name must be between 4 and 30 characters, and contain only lowercase letters and numbers" Name"
@tpenner Were you able to get a two-letter organization name? I was trying to get a three-letter username consistent with GitHub and this is what I was told by the support: "Unfortunately it isn't on our roadmap to allow 3 character usernames and it's enforced at the database level so we cannot make any manual adjustments. Apologize for the inconvenience." - see https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/280#issuecomment-224735708 - I wonder if anything changed since then.
Thanks for the feedback. At this time, 3 character usernames are not on the Docker Hub roadmap.
The name of the organization I am trying to create is literally a 3 letter name, not abbreviated for anything. This is annoying. Now I have to add non-sense letters to the company name all because of some stupid database rule.
I know that it's more symbolic than anything else, but I just canceled my docker hub subscription because of this. I know this may seem like a small issue to docker, but names are important and you've had 4+ years to address it.
Somehow the organization name "servicemeshconcepts" doesn't work. Throws the same error. Baffling. Exasperating.
Our organization owns mui.com, we had to fall back to https://hub.docker.com/u/muicom instead of MUI 🙃. Same tradeoff as IBM https://hub.docker.com/u/ibmcom
