Sure. You can host your own github too. But the future will be containers. They seem pretty good at that.

The question isn't if Docker the company will be successful in the future -- it's will they be as successful as that valuation suggests by selling support contracts.

You can host your own GitLab*, not your own Github.

Also, a lot of the value of Github is social. You can only get that (after a certain point) by paying Github money.

By contrast, you can get 100% of the value of the Docker community without paying a cent to Docker, Inc.

$21 a month per user.....to host it on my own hardware....no thanks. If I am hosting on my own hardware then you get a one-time-fee, none of this subscription nonsense.

glad I'm not the only one to find this subscription BS patently insulting.

You're not a 1Password user, are you? They are pushing the subscription model super hard.

and this is important because a good deal of tech companies rely on self-hosted GHE or hosted Github.
