It seems you simply have to pull it every 5.99 months to not get it removed. So add all your images into a bash script and pull them every couple weeks using crontab and you‘re fine.

On the other side, I see the need for making money and storage/services cannot be free (someone pays somewhere for it - always), but 6 months is not that much for specific usages.

"Pulling docker images every 5 months as a service"

I'm sure you've cited research older than 5.99 months right?

I wish they would grandfather images before this new ToS to not get wiped so that future images would be uploaded to more stable and accepting platforms so images on Docker Hub from research pre-ToS update don't get wiped.

    well it sounds like someone's gotta pony up the bucks for a their own image repo, rather than freeload off someone else's storage infra.

      Full circle achieved.

      START Run your own stuff on stuff you own. Run your stuff on other people's stuff you rent. This is too expensive to maintain at your rent. Pay us more. Back to run your own stuff on stuff you own. ...and so on, and so forth.

      And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why anything worth doing is worth actually doing yourself. Nothing is worse than building something conditionally feasible on someone else only to have the rug pulled out from under you by sudden business pivots.

      But that's the nature of the beast I suppose. I've certainly not found a great way to do it any other way.

      Science Docker Repo as a Service backed by Amazon Glacier and index, one time fee to access?
