Docker is sunsetting Free Team organizations

Got mail from Docker Inc, that Docker is sunsetting Free Team organizations

https://web.docker.com/rs/790-SSB-375/images/privatereposfaq.pdf

Our Org alpine is docker free team, if not pay montly, will be closed down by 14th April.

What can we do?

1. pay monthly fee (US$5), but who should pay?
2. migrate to other free docker registry, such as github docker registry, gitlab container registry
3. I share my ethereum address, and waiting for the donation, pay for 1 year first (US$60), then we discuss this case later, if we need formally migrate to other platforms.

The same will be applied to all images in this Org.

One problem with plan of $5, it only supports 5,000 image pulls per day for the whole Org, which is obviously not good enough for this Org.

Did you consider applying to the Docker-Sponsored Open Source Program?

I did it for our organization and we had a positive answer in less than 24h.

Thanks, I did last week as well.

Really, I didn't get any answers yet.

I don't think paying $5 a month is the right way to tackle this situation with docker hub: if they don't want to collaborate with opensource, we shouldn't either, and apparently that's what's going to happen.
We don't need to continue using docker hub just because everything is there.
If github can give us this for free, then I'd say take the offer.

Get a new mail from Docker Inc, 6 hours before. They reversed the decision. Good news to open source community
