What Hacker News says
23 sourcesNothing is difficult about them, compose is easy enough that you can grok it in a day.
You saw the lament in my comment though and that speaks a deeper truth.
If WSL took off quick enough we could have had lxc as the main player rather than the bastardisation of lxc that is docker.com
For an open source project they make it incredibly hard to access what are essentially text files for containerisation setups on windows or mac?

In Nginx Unit – Universal web app serverOur build server started throwing errors it couldn't log in to Docker any more. Googled it and found a thread where a Docker employee reported they just deployed IPv6 support.
If anyone has the same problem, it's fixed by following the "Enable IPv6 support" guide on the Docker docs. Tracked my debugging here: https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/2165
In Docker Hub Registry IPv6 Support Now Generally AvailableDocker: Free team being sunset, no way to convert to a regular account
12 points · Open discussionSure.
This is just a big "fuck you" to non company supported open source projects, as it turns out even ones labelled "sponsored css" on Docker Inc's own website.
Which are all clearly insignificant and unimportant, dumb little command line utilities and libraries like, say, curl...

In Docker is sunsetting Free Team organizations [pdf]They fixed it: https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/2257
In Dockerhub 405sAnd their file is even detected by ClamAV as "Multios.Coinminer.Miner-6781728-2". Too bad that Docker Hub doesn't scan its files.
Reported this non-scanning as an issue: https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/2154
In Am I Mining to Somebody?Your best bet is to report it here... and then wait a year for someone to actually remove it: https://github.com/docker/hub-feedback/issues/1121
In Am I Mining to Somebody?This post seems like a good time to note that by default, there's no direct way to verify that what you are downloading from dockerhub is the exact same thing that exists on dockerhub [1].
Discovered after seeing a comment on HN about a bill of materials for software, i.e., a list of "approved hashes" to ensure one can audit exactly what software is being installed, which in turn led me to this issue.

In Dependency Confusion: How I Hacked Into Apple, Microsoft and Other CompaniesInteresting project OP.
I noticed your `www.` URL doesn't work (times out) but it works without. Your README links to the www version.

One suggestion OP - since you've run into the Int32 issue with several popular images (which are showing downwards as well as flat lines), it's probably worth defaulting to less 'faulty' image with upward slopes, or perhaps a random image from a curated set to showcase some actual growth.
It's a shame the issue has languished, it would be interesting to see just how many times nginx was actually downloaded.
