For repositories with Dockerfiles that we publish on Docker Hub, it could be helpful to use the same repository name on both websites. When looking at one of our repos that uses newsdev/rails as a base, my first instinct is to look for that Dockerfile at github.com/newsdev/rails.

While it's certainly worth it to learn about Docker Hub so we all understand where to look for non-NYT Dockerfiles, it might reduce confusion if we either:

  • renamed this repo newsdev/rails, or
  • renamed the docker hub repository as newsdev/docker-rails

To me, the reason for this naming convention is to indicate that the code contained in the repository is a Docker representation of the project, not the project itself. In this case, we haven't forked Rails but rather established a Docker image for using rails. On Docker Hub, using the docker prefix is redundant.
