In that case their "podman pull fedora" would pull a fedora image from a fedora registry, "podman pull tumbleweed" would pull TW from our registry, and "podman pull alpine" from the docker hub.
Do you know if they're willing to make such a change? This is just going to cause headaches when users copy-paste scripts between distros...
(Personally I think the solution to all of these headaches should've been to make all images require the registry name -- the default registry has caused a bunch of other unrelated headaches as well.)
Has anyone actually reached out? I can honestly say no one has asked about this before.
No-one has reached out, I was mostly thinking out loud -- we haven't decided what's going to happen with the naming yet.
We're all friends, stop pretending we're not. :)
Of course we are, though as I mentioned my main worry with this is that image names will become non-portable between distros -- unless we have an inter-distro agreement that Debian/Ubuntu/Arch/Fedora/openSUSE/... will all have their registries listed. Another potential issue is that you're now by-default shipping binaries (containers) from another distribution which might result in some interesting security policy questions. Obviously this is something that could be resolved. -- Aleksa Sarai Senior Software Engineer (Containers) SUSE Linux GmbH <https://www.cyphar.com/>
