Docker is celebrating its 6th birthday with an easter egg

Quoting the README of docker/birthday [1]

"March 2019 marks Docker's sixth year, and we thought we'd celebrate it docker-style with a birthday surprise!"

To try it out, run:

"docker run -it --rm surprise"

Self-plug but I have noticed this from my side project "Follow GitHub Organisation" [2]

Actually seems legit: https://hub.docker.com/_/surprise

Seems like a bad idea. I don't like surprises, especially those that involve running untrusted code on my computer.

Normally I'd get your point, but it's untrusted code sandboxed inside a container...

I hate this idea..

Neat! Looks like it just animates a few ASCII sprites and confetti. The source is right there anyways.

I can't seem to pull a lot of docker images as of late on my machine. I keep getting unauthorized.

   [0] % docker pull surprise
   Using default tag: latest
   Error response from daemon: pull access denied for surprise, repository does not exist or may require 'docker 
   login'

Any ideas?
