At work we get around this by not having docker or anything similar set up in the first place.
I'm getting tired of it lol

Podman or Rancher Desktop
Rancher got a lot better very quickly, but I've never used podman and have heard mixed things about it... Might give it a whirl at some point, but I've been saying that to myself for years
Are there any decent alternatives to docker hub for pushing images if I'm just a hobbyist?
Github has a container register you can use.
Their entire offering is such a joke. I'm forced to use Docker Desktop for work, as we're on Windows. Every time that piece of shit gets updated, it's more useless garbage. Endless security snake oil features. Their installer even messes with your WSL home directory. They literally fuck with your AWS and Azure credentials to make it more "convenient" for you to use their cloud integrations. When they implemented that, they just deleted my AWS profile from my home directory, because they felt it should instead be a symlink to my Windows home directory. These people are not to be trusted with elevated privileges on your system. They actively abuse the privilege.
The only reason they exist is that they are holding the majority of images hostage on their registry. Their customers are similarly being held hostage, because they started to use Docker on Windows desktops and are now locked in. Nobody gives a shit about any of their benefits. Free technology and hosting was their setup, now they let everyone bleed who got caught. Prices will rise until they find their sweet spot. Thanks for the tech. Now die already.
I actually thought this headline was a joke (i.e. adding 80% of 0 to 0 equals 0), until I clicked the link to see that people actually pay for Docker? I guess this is for Enterprise?
I have never really had much use for it, so never have installed it, but it seems like everyone here uses Docker, which is surprising given the cost and what you just said.

This speaks to my soul so much. I started at a non profit 2 years ago and it pains me how much the company spends on Oracle and docker now and no one does anything about it. So much of our infrastructure is built to rely on these things that we can't just do without them when they do crazy shit like this. And Oracle and docker can afford to do this as long as a few cash cows hang on like us. Hostage is the worst and best description.
I switched to running docker inside wsl2 (installed as per their docs) and so far it's been working well.
you didn't need anything like docker with web 1.0; you just needed cuteftp and a text editor.
Me, still using winscp for random nonsense.

How is the transition from docker to podman? I'm using two compose scripts and like 10 containers each. And portainer to comfortably restart stuff on the fly
I can only provide my experience; it was a drop-in replacement. I have 7 services running and 3 db containers. I was able to migrate using the Podman official instructions without issue.

Hot take: Good for them.
This will have zero impact on 99% of independent developers. Most small companies can move to an alternative or roll their own infrastructure. This will only really impact large corporations. I'm all for corporation-on-corporation violence. Let them fight.
