Based on a mtg with @docker today:

If you have a #Docker Hub Organization that isn't marked as "Docker-Sponsored Open Source", or "Docker Verified Publisher", and you want it to exist after April 14th, one member needs to upgrade to a Docker Team plan ($300/yr minimum) 👇

I'll break it down at 1pm US Eastern (1500 UTC) and what new info I have from the chat with them

You can submit a support ticket to move your org repos to a personal account: hub.docker.com/support/contact

You can apply for the Docker-Sponsored Open Source program (DSOS), which will put a hold on your org until they make a decision, which they have loosened the requirements for last September docker.com/community/open…

You can apply for the Docker Verified Publisher (DVP) Program (for commercial software that doesn't qualify for DSOS) docker.com/partners/progr…

Any support request or application will put a hold on the org to avoid deletion. The counter starts if your application is denied.

If you've applied to DSOS before and denied (or never heard back), apply again. docker.com/community/open…

If your org is deleted. No one can create a new one to squat it.

Here's an example of a curl repo approved for DSOS. Notice the badge hub.docker.com/r/curlimages/c…

No Docker official images (DOI) or personal account images are at risk. Nor the previously mentioned DSOS or DVP orgs. Only those in orgs (anything starting their URL path with a /r/) that are still on a Free Team plan.

This affects all images in Free Team orgs (both private and public).

If you are storing an image on a paid org or personal (free or paid) plan that was built from an image that gets deleted, yours will still work. This is always true. But, you can't build new images FROM a deleted image. Layers stick around until all referencing images are deleted

You know you're affected if you see any "Docker Free Team" subscriptions on this page of your account(s): hub.docker.com/orgs

When in doubt, submit a Hub support request. hub.docker.com/support/contact

UPDATE: *public* org/repo images will still be pullable after the org is deleted. That's a huge relief for existing deployments.

UPDATE: An apology and better FAQ from @docker docker.com/blog/we-apolog…
