PyPI new user and new project registrations temporarily suspended
Tragedy of the commons - only need a few actors to ruin it all for us. Almost all distributors face this problem, from Docker Hub to PyPI. This also reminded me of official Postgres Docker image running a cryptominer in the background [1]

I got started on trying to make a basic postgres image but I can't seem to figure out how to include a shell script in the same folder as my nix file (fetched from https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/blob/master/docker-entrypoint.sh and to be modified once I get it working) into the docker image as an entrypoint
- Postgres on docker works without a shell perfectly but fails when run via shell
