Frequently Asked Questions
Can my team access Docker images after I die?
Access depends on repository visibility and organization ownership. Public images remain accessible to everyone. Private images require active credentials. Transfer critical repositories to organization accounts with multiple owners. Document all repositories, image tags, and pull credentials for infrastructure continuity.
What happens to Docker Hub automated builds and webhooks?
Automated builds require active GitHub/GitLab account integration. Builds stop when authentication expires. Webhooks continue triggering but may fail if credentials expire. Document build configurations, source repositories, and webhook endpoints. Migrate builds to organization accounts with multiple administrators.
How do I transfer Docker Hub organization ownership?
Organization ownership requires owner role access. Add multiple owners to prevent single points of failure. Document organization namespaces, billing details, team access, and subscription levels. Without succession planning, organizations become inaccessible and private repositories expire with subscription.
What happens to Docker Hub billing and rate limits?
Subscriptions expire without payment, converting accounts to free tier with severe rate limiting. Infrastructure depending on unlimited pulls may break. Document subscription details, billing contacts, and rate limit requirements. Transfer billing to organizational accounts with multiple payment administrators.
