Publish images on Github as alternative to Docker Hub about docker-pgrouting

[dkastl]

Thanks for sharing the information. I must admit that I also visited those billing pages after creating this issue, and the limits for the free publishing seem to be rather low. I'm not sure how much pgRouting would require, but 500MB storage and 1GB data transfer is not much.

So I would suggest to not spend time with it. Maybe someday the quota will increase to a reasonable amount for Open Source projects like pgRouting.

Seems like there will be soon a change to "GitHub Container Registry", so probably better to wait a bit: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/packages/getting-started-with-github-container-registry/migrating-to-github-container-registry-for-docker-images

Very interesting @dkastl , thanks. I'm reading new doc in Github about billing in the container's registry:
https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/packages/getting-started-with-github-container-registry/migrating-to-github-container-registry-for-docker-images#billing-changes

The most important info about how billing works is here:
https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/setting-up-and-managing-billing-and-payments-on-github/about-billing-for-github-packages#about-billing-for-github-packages

What do you think?

Seems like Docker Hub is also working on limits, but so far the rate limits are for pulling images only: https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-hub-image-retention-policy-delayed-and-subscription-updates/

I've seen this information this week and you are right. It's only affecting image pull rates.
