Docker is designed to push you towards DockerHub, not to be the simplest or best container implementation.

When they made you sign up for an account just to get to the download link a few years ago, I lost all respect for the project.

Why do you think it's not a good practice?

Docker is a good tool and deserves some resources to continue developing the product and funding marketing team. I wish docker hub to be more competitive among other rivals.

I didn't say it wasn't. Docker makes sense because everyone uses it.

However, I would prefer a Docker alternative that is purely local and doesn't require so many permissions.

I don't understand why you need to create a docker account in order to make containers stuffed full of FOSS packages, on your own hardware.
