Description
Hi all. I'm opening this issue to discuss future maintainership of this image.
As those who have used the image for a while and have followed this repository should know, I have long been reluctant to continue maintaining this image since I do not use it myself and only ever barely used it when it was first created. I'm not going to dig up every link to every discussion on this topic, but it has been thoroughly gone over in the issue history.
The main reasons I have always been hesitant to simply abandon this image are:
- People use it and I don't want to break their stuff
- Docker Hub does not support image redirects (still, right?), so I can't move the image to another name without triggering
#1 - The Docker Hub ecosystem does not have a way for me to tell users that the image is moving to a new (more community-maintained) name
- I don't want to stay involved enough to want work to continue under the
@appropriateorganization (despite the fact that the image is in my personalmdillon/*namespace and Appropriate Computing LLC no longer exists as a legal entity)
I found out reason #2 the hard way when I tried to move the image from mdillon/postgis to appropriate/postgis. This broke the Docker Hub to GitHub integration in a way that I don't think ever fully recovered.
Given that my neglect of this image has probably already led to breakage (sorry), I think it's time to finally break through the issues above and move this image, both on Docker Hub and on GitHub.
I would appreciate any thoughts from long-time users (@ImreSamu comes to mind).
