Why do we have to push an image to a registry?

Does this mean that we can also host the Cloudron build service on production machines, or am I mistaken?

@yusf no, that would be this scenario

Well, I run it only on a dev machine since I only use Cloudron to dev. But tbh, after 100s of builds. All of the other apps are still running smoothly so it's not recommended because it's the only app with the docker add-on and thus could technically mess with other apps. It has never done so, I just think they'd rather not have the responsibility of calling it "production-ready" even though in my dev environment, it gives me no issues. I would feel comfortable running this in production tbh. The worry is if it ever bugged. But I can actually work around that by accounting for it using a Cloudron add-on I'm building (Dot the Repair Bot) so even though it's never happened, if I account for the Build Service being able to destroy containers / data outside it's sandbox (what the devs mean when they say it's not for production), I can have them auto-restored by Dot.

But if Dot got destroyed by the Build Service I'd be screwed.
