Docker hub free plan users will no longer have access to the Autobuild feature

[abitmore]

Notified by Docker:

Hi there,

As one of the users of Docker Hub’s Autobuild service, we wanted to reach out and let you know that from June 18th, 2021 users on the free plan will no longer have access to the Autobuild feature. This means that any of your currently configured Autobuild will fail to run and you will need to upgrade to a Pro or Team account to restore functionality. You can read more about the changes on our blog.

To ease this transition we are offering 20% off Docker Pro and Team for new and returning subscriptions through June 18, 2021 so you can continue using that Autobuild goodness you know and love.

If you’re part of the Docker Open Source program, and currently leveraging Autobuilds as part of a Free plan, we want to continue supporting you and we will be reaching out to make sure you will not be impacted by this change.

Docker is wholly focused on providing you amazing and magical experiences. We really appreciate your support and the community’s understanding as the whole industry battles against these abusive crypto miners. .

Thanks,

Team Docker

Progress: submitted Docker Open Source Community Application via https://www.docker.com/open-source-application

Docker Open Source Community Application
Thank you for completing the Docker Open Source Survey. We will review your application, and get back to you as quickly as we can. We have received a large of applications, so please bear with us, as we go through the review process

Note: in the application I answered "no" to a question "is your docker account integrated with automation tools" because we're doing Autobuild with another account but not my account. Not sure if it's a big deal.

Update:

• No response from Docker.
• Docker Autobuild is still working.

Assuming it's fixed. Closing.

Update: got a mail from docker which asks for confirmation of the Open Source program application, and I have replied and confirmed.

[abitmore]

Our auto-build process got disabled in Docker Hub.

[abitmore]

Sent another mail to Docker. Waiting for reply.

No update from Docker. Assuming we're ignored.

Will build docker images for 6.0.0 release with Github Actions, and close this issue.

Closing due to #2514.
