It's not a link, it's the image name that you'd directly use from docker or podman. And yes, that's the same one.

One of the things I found so confusing about docker at first was how much information you could leave out of your image reference and docker would assume the rest. I'd prefer if it only assumed localhost, and never automatically assumed any remote registry. There's really no reason for docker.io to be special.



Something else that's confusing is why these links don't just redirect to the registry landing page.

A simple redirect from https://docker.io/mailserver/docker-mailserver to https://hub.docker.com/r/mailserver/docker-mailserver would make so much sense.
