I might be missing something, but what makes this "interplanetary"? The IP in IPDR appears to stand for IPFS.

I would wait for intergalactic filesystem support before adopting.

:)

Actually - I think this is pretty cool because it doesn't point to docker inc for the registry.

On the other hand, what I've always really wanted was a personal registry I could bootstrap and NOT go to the cloud (or the solar system or whatever) for binary images I run on my machine.

In other words - It would be nice to have a source-based docker, based on Dockerfiles not on docker images.

It’s based on IPFS. https://ipfs.io

I can’t remember the history behind the name but there’s nothing astronomical about it. It’s a content addressable system.
