This sounds bad for Docker if this guy was helping helm Oracle to where it is today.

He didn't helm Oracle. He ran Oracle Cloud... much worse.

Constant CEO turnover? Bringing in a AWS/Oracle Executive? RIP Docker.

It's a big club of scabs shuffling between the ever diminishing number of umbrella corporations and their subsidiaries, who already own every market and supply chain.

It's like IT. When they do their job competently you don't notice much, but when they're an incompetent narcissist they can insta-destroy everything.

The exciting thing about bringing in someone from outside the organization to take on a leading role is that they have no idea how anything fucking works and never really care.

I have already started switching to podman.

So… Is there an alternative to docker?

Podman

The Docker runtime is probably ok as it is a tool instead of a community. The registry has a community aspect and is where we'll likely see exploitation of vendor lock in. Luckily Docker was grounded well and you can set up your own registry.

Many have moved to or added the GitHub registry. It's still a corporate controlled registry, but Microsoft are far more likely (and able) to eat the cost for developer goodwill.

I've got a registry running on my homelab that I haven't quite moved fully over to yet.
