the #curl docker image has been pulled 5966498898 times

should reach 6 billion in 10-12 days

I'll queue up a bragging blog post for the occasion.

How have you been tracking this number? Is it a curl script against the Docker Hub API? 😁

@jawnsy of course... and my script just waits a little, then does it again - repeatedly - to get the momentary pull rate

There must be some pretty crap caching gone on somewhere?

@TimWardCam as I understand it, a pull is not necessary a download but a check... so we don't know how much caching there is

Some people do set their K8s systems, particularly development ones, to fetch the image every time. Which is perfectly reasonable for their own code which is changing daily, but really one should try to avoid doing it to third parties!

and we are not even adding quay.io pulls (between 80-100k per day now) ;)

Congratulations.

On unrelated notes, there is something wrong on how people use docker or setting up their CI/CD.

I wonder whether curl is used under the covers to pull images/layers. That'd be meta. 😃

I'm very curious how people use the curl docker image. With those numbers, I can't imagine it's just people interested in contributing.

@Natris1979 I don't think it is related to contributing at all. I think it is people using curl. Contributors tend to rather build curl themselves.
