Follow-up from "Allow service alias from config in Docker executor"
The following discussion from !1673 (merged) should be addressed:
-
@tmaczukin started a discussion: (+1 comment) I'd say we should not use the name
applications
butimages
instead. First, Docker Hub is a repository of a container images. Second, not every image is applicable for a service - only the ones that provide a network-available service inside.We had a lot of confusion in the past from users who thought that using a service you can magically "install" some additional applications (read: binaries) that will be next available for the job script. They will not. By writing
application
we only support this confusion.Ergo:
[Docker Registry](https://hub.docker.com) for the list of available images.
@ggeorgiev_ I think we can fix this in a follow-up MR to not block merging this one
😉
