Nach intensiven Gesprächen mit unserer Community, Kunden und Partnern haben wir die Entscheidung getroffen, die Runtime-Gebühr mit sofortiger Wirkung zu verwerfen.
Docker Desktop now has a license cost for medium+ sized businesses. Docker Engine remains open source, but the desktop UI as well as the tech that makes Docker work on Windows (and Mac?) is now no longer free.
Thankfully containers are open source.
Everything is “docker this” and “docker that”. But podman is viable, and there are other container systems.
The container format is so ubiquitous it’s FOSS. I mean, it’s kubernetes.
