I see that UBlue uses Github actions to rebuild the images regularly to roll in package updates. Who foots the bill? Are the images also served from Github? Does Github charge for egress? What happens when a lot of users want to download the same image?
- FireInsight 3y agoGithub free tier served us well. For a while we had a paid tier for GH orgs to get better builders, but now I think we use https://buildjet.com/ https://buildjet.com/. I'm not too familiar with this aspect, though. I think the bills are paid by Jorge (the kind of "founder" of the project), at least I think so, though some of the other top members with jobs in the Linux/Cloud world might be helping. Donation paths and such have been considered, but the bills aren't too huge so nothing has been rushed in. For the registry, GHCR serves us entirely for free. No egress costs, no ingress costs, nothing. No plans to change providers, and I don't think they have plans to raise pricing either. We could probably find an alternative host pretty easily, though, through the cloud contacts and knowledge some of the devs here have.
