       | If you are using some of the library packages (i.e nodejs /
       | ubuntu / golang), you can resort to using ECR Public:

       | 
       | To quote the example in the article:
       | 
       | You can pull the images by simply switching from using docker
       | pull ubuntu:16.04 to docker pull
       | public.ecr.aws/docker/library/ubuntu:16.04. We automatically push
       | images to ECR Public when they are updated on Docker Hub so you
       | will get all the latest releases wherever you pull from.

         | What are the limits that DockerHub has, which are much worse
         | than GHCR's limits for public images? (I'm genuinely curious.)
         | 
         | Also, it doesn't seem to be quite as simple to switch to as
         | just prefixing ghcr.io. The default when you do that switch is
         | to create private images (which cost and are not public), so
         | you have to figure out everything related to making the images
         | public, which possibly involves changing Dockerfiles to link
         | the image to a public project, or other options. [1]

           | 
           | I can't find any stated rate limits for ghcr.io for public
           | images. Presumably they secretly exist, but are meant to be
           | as high as Github can provide for free...?
