Docker images deprecated?

[edgimar]

I noticed that the cocalc-docker repository is archived and the documentation indicates that it is deprecated. Is there a replacement for this, for users who are depending on docker images currently?

[williamstein]

No. We have to significantly tighten our focus for the time being due to lack of resources.

[edgimar]

Would it be reasonable if others in the community chose to maintain an independent fork of the repo? Perhaps this could be a good way forward if there are people sufficiently interested in maintaining it.

Yeah im still using the docker version and everything works fine, for local robotics teams and individual people nothing seems wrong. I wouldn't mind stepping up just to help keep things ticking along.

Where did the archived repo go? We are still using it too and need to refer to some older issues until we switch to On Prem (if we can make that work with our security model).

[edgimar]

If someone has an up-to-date version of the repo, maybe they could push it back to github (as a source repo), and we can continue to use and update it?

[KenwoodFox]

Are there any alternatives? I'm on a robotics team and everything was working fine till our lighthouse container saw the repos go offline, what are we gonna do moving forward? just leave the latest in the repo pls!

Are there any alternatives?

There is a simplified variant of the production system for a kubernetes cluster: https://onprem.cocalc.com/

That's more secure, robust, isolates projects (resource management), is scalable, and has more functionality.

[edgimar]

And it appears to have one other fundamental difference: cost. Is this correct?

The docker repos are still available: https://hub.docker.com/r/sagemathinc/cocalc-docker
