As a newcomer to the devops world I was kind of surprised at the general thesis of this article, that companies use docker hub and using something different is awkward. Neither of the two companies I’ve worked for use it (artifacory in both cases) and there is a general taboo around having docker desktop binaries on any company systems (though docker engine seems to be prevalent). I guess I had just assumed that the golden / default path was to use one of the (non docker) commercial registries. So from that perspective, the suggestion that there are some patterns that still use dockerhub by default was actually enlightening.

I have exactly the same experience. Can't imagine why someone'd use Dockerhub by default for enterprise use cases nowadays.

What I've deen is in-house base images in AWS's registry but still pulling stuff like Fedora base images from dockerhub.

as a 1 man shop i actually went back to docker hub after my DO based registry started flaking. tbf i was self hosting the registry because I'm cheap but the images were in do spaces. worked fine for a couple years then became unreliable. knowing not much else i decided to give hub the $5/mo or whatever to save me the pain. not looking forward to figuring out what magic auth keys i need to reconfigure to pull from somewhere else now
