I don't work on mission-critical software (nor do I have anyone to answer to) so it's not the end of the world, but has me wondering what my alternate deployment routes are. Is there a mirror registry with all the same basic images? (node/alpine)
I suppose the fact that I didn't notice before says wonderful things about its reliability.
Unfortunately that does not help in an outage because you cannot fill the cache now.
Took me a while to think of checking the docker hub status page.
docker image ls
docker tag name/name:version your.registry/here/name/name:version
docker push your.registry/here/name/name:version> wondering what my alternate deployment routes are
If the stakes are low and you don't have any specific need for a persistent registry then you could skip it entirely and push images to production from wherever they are built.
This could be as simple as `docker save`/`scp`/`docker load`, or as fancy as running an ephemeral registry to get layer caching like you have with `docker push`/`docker pull`[1].
