Comments on: Docker Raises Prices Up to 80 Percent and More https://www.servethehome.com/docker-raises-prices-up-to-80-percent-and-more/ Server and Workstation Reviews Sun, 15 Sep 2024 08:37:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Matthew Harris https://www.servethehome.com/docker-raises-prices-up-to-80-percent-and-more/#comment-586190 Sun, 15 Sep 2024 08:37:32 +0000 https://www.servethehome.com/?p=80935#comment-586190 This article would have helped if it explained what this was. From the comments I’m inferring that this is something separate to “normal” docker? I’m just getting this article come up in my feed because I’ve been watching videos about Dev containers recently. Is this related to that kind of use or is this something different?I’m none the wiser from this article.

I’d be willing to contribute $40-50 a year than $10-15/month. That’s just me and I didn’t gain a lot as almost everything I do is open source.

If I get around to it, I’ll probably just switch those to publish to GitHub’s container repository.

I don’t see this as good move from Docker Inc. , and many people might completely step away from Docker even the cli version , especially nowadays is fairly easy to setup a lightweight single or multi node k8s cluster, or just use containerd + nerdctl , rancher desktop or podman desktop

Being the out-of-box default certainly doesn’t hurt when it comes to getting people who don’t want the hassle to just accept your offer rather than trying to self host or doing a lot of shopping around; but that advantage dries up fast if you push the price into the range where comparison shopping becomes more or less mandatory; or impose limits on things like storage and compute time that make using your EZ-cloud tools more frustrating than convenient.

Is there something important that they’ve kept away from the apache-licensed or directly-dependent-on-native-linux-features aspects of Docker that is genuinely arduous to reproduce and provides a reason to pay their rather optimistic prices for otherwise deeply commodified cloud storage and CPU time; or is this just a deeply optimistic move on their part?
