for one you can get started with a private repo without paying for it. You can securely share it with your entire team and not pay one cent, and you can do that just by creating an account on gandalf.io.

Secondly, for those who're starting out using dockers, a four docker plan is optimal because most folks use a combination of containers inheriting from public and private repos. So you can pay $4 per month for 4 repos using gandalf.io whereas you have to pay a minimum of $7 per month for docker.io's service.

Thirdly, this is just the beginning and we're working on a roadmap of features, some of which docker.io might not provide.

Fourth - support is important when using a service, and support can have a specific flavour when using a startup offering. try gandalf.io to understand the flavor :) !

:-) Not to troll but the third point made me smile: "we don't have yet features that our competitor doesn't have yet"

Given humans are irrational, even offering the exact same service at the exact same price point, but with a different name, is a viable business plan in a niche without competitors.

Well, make some announcements when you start implementing #3. :)

For now, I'll stick with my git-deploy-over-ssh scheme.

disappointed. not even a single free docker?
Re:Show HN: Gandalf – $1 private Docker registries by opendais on Thursday April 24, 2014 @11:56AM (#7641061)
Using a single free docker for a personal project would require me to rewrite how I deploy stuff for my personal projects.

It is much easier/saner for me to stick with git pull && docker build. If my SSH install isn't secure, I'm screwed anyway.

If I was seriously considering switching all of my containers to Service X, rewriting it would be trivial and just a cost of doing business.

agreed. next stop - trusted builds. I'll announce you'll sign up?
