DockerHub rate limit exceeded

[Anton-Shutik]

I have an issue with dockerhub rate limit, since have a lot of jobs running on my self-hosted runner.

Is there any way I can specify my own pull-through (AWS ECR for example) in my .yaml file, so it will not pull the image from the dockerhub every time ?

There is a published variant that uses ghcr, which doesn't seem to have dockerhubs low rate limit.

You can use it by adding '-gchr' to the action version.

e.g.

jobs:
  build:
    steps:
    - uses: dflook/terraform-plan@v1.41.2-ghcr

Thanks,

That said, there is no way to use my own container repo for that, right ?

Right, there is no way to specify your own container image, unfortunately.

Looks like ghcr has their rate limits as well.

Are there any plans to add an ability to use customer repo (ex. Private ECR backed by dockerhub ?) ?

I would if I could. Your only option is to fork, see here.
