Yeah, they have an “approval” process for the docker images…
Trash don't want it. That would drastically reduce it's usefulness.
...no, I don't think its how you think. My impression is they want to make sure only "secure" images are available, so likely they will check for malware
Like you said about the Oddyssee and other p2p networks, there is a central provider making the backbone. Flux wouldn't want DDOS agents for example running on their machines or clients' nodes
That being said, I am looking for an open source alternative

That should be taken care of in the infrastructure. Each docker container should be limited in it's allowed bandwidth.

It's super important when building apps to just be able to type,
docker build -t MYAPP .
And redeploy. If you have to go through a approval process for each change nothing will ever get done.

Found the repo: https://github.com/orgs/RunOnFlux/repositories
So it seems you can start your own "Flux", communicate with other Fluxes, release whatever Apps you want...
Seems the image 'approval' is only for their own server/node

Ok that sounds more useful then.

Ok. Sorry again. I will try it out myself, because I am reading conflicting messages on Reddit etc.
If anything can be hosted, I should be able to run random hello world images or something.
I still also need to understand how the discovery of other nodes works... legal liabilities (what if someone puts CP on my node ?) etc

Some variation Dijkstra's algorithm like all networks use. Centralized Trackers. Maybe in combination with some kinda Distributed hash table to keep it working if the trackers are unreachable.
