Honestly the UBI images seem like the best option. They publish those, they have to publish the source for them.
Sure, they can make it more difficult by making them static, but it seems doable.
- lars_francke 3y agoThe UBI images only contain a small subset of all RHEL packages. The blog post is vague on this topic and I'm not sure if you can really get all sources that way. I have my doubts but I've never tried: https://access.redhat.com/articles/4238681 https://access.redhat.com/articles/4238681
- gbraad 3y agoThey are images tailored towards runtime use. They do not come with server components. For example, you can't get/download udhcpd in a UBI image.
- dizhn 3y agoThis is a very weird situaiton. As far as I know the whole Red Hat distribution is still open source. Now they put themselves in a position to refrain from publishing their open source changes. If those changes do not flow up or down stream, how are they going to keep calling themselves open source? (They don't call themsegpes free software as far as I can tell)
- gbraad 3y agoUBI images are to host applications. Do you need screen, udhcpd to do so? Nope, but you get httpd, etc. It is just a choice they made to make it easy to host your application in a RHEL container on top of OpenShift running on RHEL (fully supportable stack)
