Docker to rate limit image pulls
I originally came here to ask how folks use that many docker images in six hours (I'm mostly a Docker n00b, and not being facetious); however, after reading the article, I clicked to see how much unlimited is and it's $5 a month. Now my question has changed to: is $5 a month really a deal breaker for folks to get unlimited? Or what are the use cases where the cost is prohibitive? Open source or community projects?<p>In most cases it would seem $5/user isn't much as a business or organizational expense, and if it's a personal project 200 images in six hours seems pretty solid?<p>I'm just sort of shocked it's so cheap. I figured it'd be like $25-$100 a month or something just because of all the bandwidth someone could probably burn building random/broken shit over and over.<p>I'm mostly curious because I've considered using Docker recently for personal projects and my home server; but I'd rather not invest a bunch of time porting things only to find out it's gonna be way more than $5 (not including my time).<p>Or is it that hard to just build your own images? To be honest, I've never really understood that part of Docker (using other folks images)... It always seemed like an enormous security risk[1]. FWIW, I still deploy my personal projects using chef/ansible, shell scripts, and systemd units like some sort of curmudgeon-y monster...<p>[1] Everything is a security risk (APT, source, etc), I know, I get it. No one need scribe miles of pedantry into the comments explaining it to me. It's what each of us has tolerance for and can accept that matters.
