Since Docker Hub is going to limit [the amount of pulls you can do without authentication](https://www.docker.com/blog/revisiting-docker-hub-policies-prioritizing-developer-experience/), we’re going to make GHCR (Github’s docker image hosting service) the default. We’ll keep pushing to both docker index and GHCR, but I’ve updated all references on the website to GHCR (`ghcr.io/silverbulletmd/silverbullet` instead of `zefhemel/silverbullet`).

This makes it also a bit easier to track number of people pulling these images, which is nice. I never had any stats on this before.

If you like, you make the change in your setup too.

I see SilverBullet does not user [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/), but recent images from /v2 changed from Ubuntu to Alpine and that might be a breaking change 😛

(to my experience, Alpine is if little gain but that is off-topic 😃 ).
