    ProjectQuay.io landing page is now live! https://projectquay.io

    From the basic installation page:

    https://docs.projectquay.io/deploy_quay.html

    "For a Project Quay Registry installation (appropriate for non-production purposes), you need one system (physical or virtual machine) that has the following attributes:

        Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): Obtain the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux server media from the Downloads page and follow instructions from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Installation Guide.

    Valid Red Hat Subscription: Obtain a valid Red Hat Enterprise Linux server subscription.
    "

    So, is it truly tied to RHEL and a subscription, or is that page just making me FEEL that way?

    Annoying either way. :/

    Prerequisites: CPUs: Two or more virtual CPUs RAM: 4GB or more

    Why does a container registry need so many resources?

    Newbie question: How does quay differ to docker hub?

    Love this. After Red Hat acquired Ansible I thought for sure they would cave on their open source principles, but they didn't. They really believe in open source, and we are all the better as a world for it.

    Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat but have been a fan decades longer than I've worked there.

    "What is Project Quay? It's an open-source distribution of Red Hat Quay."

    So, what is Quay? And why the information pages assume everyone knows what it is?

    How to pronounce Quay: https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2018/04/cay-key-quay.html

    Edit: I called it Kway myself and googled it after getting puzzled looks from my UK peers. The referenced article says "key" is the older pronunciation but either is acceptable.

    Worth noting this is happening after the incorporation of VMware’s harbor registry into cncf. Harbor provides a solid enterprise registry with auth, Clair scanning, and a reasonable ux. https://goharbor.io/

    Still, it’s great to see quay make it out into the open.

    Does Quay support deleting images/tags/repositories in the registry? That's a huge pain point with the official registry image, it's storage requirements grow constantly and we have yet to find a way to actually remove data completely (the garbage collector never worked for us).

    "...the on-premise offering of Quay was released."

    It's my premise that the author of that press release doesn't know the difference between "premise" and "premises." I know we have a habit in American English to evolve the meaning of words faster than any other language but surely IBM's press team could offer to proof-read things like this before posting.

    (And yes, I die inside a bit when someone on NPR ends a sentence with a preposition...)
