How do China users use docker

[monkeycc]

It's very troublesome for China users to build dockers

It is difficult to access foreign network environment

Building and buying VPN is an illegal and criminal act in China

Is there a better way ？

Is this problem only with images from https://hub.docker.com/? There are other registries like https://quay.io/. There might be some registries that are allowed in china. Can you find out which registries that are?

What would be possible is to also publish the images to other registries.

CVAT Docke

Docker container：

Dockerfile Cannot access
apt install Cannot access
pip install Cannot access
npm install Cannot access
git clone Cannot access

Unable to access or download very slow

It is recommended that the cvat container speed up the image configuration file for easy modification

CVAT Docker installation is too painful

@monkeycc , could you please propose a way? I was one time in China. It was a big issue for me to work behind GFC. How do other software products solve the problem? If you have a couple of examples which work for you well, it will help. If somebody can help us to build a reliable solution for users in China, it will be awesome.

My suggestion

Replace cvat dock acceleration source

@monkeycc , thanks for the information. First step is to have all these information as a section inside installation guide. Second step is to have customized Dockerfiles to simplify live of Chinese users.

@azhavoro , @TOsmanov , could you please work together to prepare corresponding documentation? Could we create Dockerfile.ch or something like that?
