I need to pull all images from an openshift template file, in my case it's openwhisk.
I'm trying to deploy this project on a private network so I don't have access to docker's official repository from there and thus need to push the images myself.
I was hoping there is a script/tool to automate this process.
There is no such available tool/script but you can write small shell script to do it.
If public dockerhub registry not allowed then either use private separate registry
or
Pull the image in your local laptop then tag it and push to openshift registry.
After pushing all the image to openshift, import your openshift template to deploy your application.
Below is the steps for single image. you can define list of image and loop it over the list.
docker pull imagename
oc login https://127.0.0.1:8443 --token=<hidden_token> #copy from https://your_openshift_server:port/console/command-line
oc project test
oc create imagestream imagename
docker login -u `oc whoami` -p `oc whoami --show-token` your_openshift_server:port
docker tag imagename your_openshift_server:port/openshift_projectname/imagename:tag
docker push your_openshift_server:port/openshift_projectname/imagename:tag
you can get more details on page suggested by graham-dumpleton
.
Graham Dumpleton's book talks about this. You create a list (JSON) of all the images used and import that into the openshift namespace. Since your OpenShift is offline/disconnected, you'll also change any remote registry to the URL of the internal, hosted registry.
Example that imports all JBoss images: https://github.com/projectatomic/adb-utils/blob/master/services/openshift/templates/common/jboss-image-streams.json

I was wondering is it possible to use cached docker images in gitlab registry for gitlab-ci?
for example, I want to use node:16.3.0-alpine docker image, can I cache it in my gitlab registry and pull it from that and speed up my gitlab ci instead of pulling it from docker hub?
Yes, GitLab's dependency proxy features allow you to configure GitLab as a "pull through cache". This is also beneficial for working around rate limits of upstream sources like dockerhub.
It should be faster in most cases to use the dependency proxy, but not necessarily so. It's possible that dockerhub can be more performant than a small self-hosted server, for example. GitLab runners are also remote with respect to the registry and not necessarily any "closer" to the GitLab registry than any other registry over the internet. So, keep that in mind.
As a side note, the absolute fastest way to retrieve cached images is to self-host your GitLab runners and hold images directly on the host. That way, when jobs start, if the image already exists on the host, the job will start immediately because it does not need to pull the image (depending on your pull configuration). (that is, assuming you're using images in the image: declaration for your job)
I'm using a corporate Gitlab instance where for some reason the Dependency Proxy feature has been disabled. The other option you have is to create a new Docker image on your local machine, then push it into the Container Registry of your personal Gitlab project.
# First create a one-line Dockerfile containing "FROM node:16.3.0-alpine"
docker pull node:16.3.0-alpine
docker build . -t registry.example.com/group/project/image
docker login registry.example.com -u <username> -p <token>
docker push registry.example.com/group/project/image
where the image tag should be constructed based on the example given on your project's private Container Registry page.
Now in your CI job, you just change image: node:16.3.0-alpine to image: registry.example.com/group/project/image. You may have to run the docker login command (using a deploy token for credentials, see Settings -> Repository) in the before_script section -- I think maybe newer versions of Gitlab will have the runner authenticate to the private Container Registry using system credentials, but that could vary depending on how it's configured.
While trying to build a service on docker-machine i got an error of "image doesn't exist" on that docker-machine manager node. As I checked the docker images command on the manager node, no image was there as expected. But on the root docker side I have those images. I want to access these images on the manager node. I've read few articles where it was mentioned that, maybe I've to upload that image on the docker hub then pull it from that hub. But I want to access it locally. Is there any way to do this as I'm newbie to docker.
This is the command what I tried on my manager machine:
docker#manager:~$ docker service create --name "api-client" -p 4200:4200 api_client
This is my docker images output:
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
api_client latest 097b19c4deb8 27 hours ago 1.15GB
But on my docker#manager terminal, my docker image folder is empty.
The problem is that there is no repository to hold the image. The repository needs to be pulled from to a repository to each node in the Swarm before it can execute. In general you need to do the following:
Setup a repository, if you want a local repository there is a guide here, but it will be some hassle to get it up and running i and "insecure http" version. An easier way is to get yourself a free docker hub account and put your image there.
Tag your local image with the repository name. Howto is shown in the guide above.
docker tag <local image> <repository>/<image:tag>
Login to the repository (if in cloud) and push your image to the repository
docker login
docker push <repository>/<image>:<tag>
To run the image (your command)
docker service create --name "api-client" -p 4200:4200 <repository>/<image>:<tag>
Your can also try to pull an image into the local cache of a node using
docker pull <repository>/<image>:<tag>
I have created docker hub repo and also created and pushed a docker image of python application to the repo.
However, I cannot find the correct Url of the image that I have to provide to the other services which will use this image. for eg azure service fabric or Kubernetes.
How can I find the exact URL? Through PowerShell or through the browser...
You don't usually download images by url. Instead, you use the docker CLI with the repository and image name.
If it's a private repo, login first, by using docker login
more about login
Use docker pull {reponame/imagename:tag} to download an image to your machine.
more about pull
Replace {reponame} with the repository name.
Replace {imagename} with the name you used with docker push.
Replace {tag} with the tag you put on the image (or latest).
For example, I use this line to get my docker hub image:
docker pull loekd/nanoserver:2.0
I have something on my mind that is bugging me. When running docker images I see a list of my local images I have in my docker environment. When pulling Images I pull it from a registry and more specific pull the specified tag managed by the repository.
so there is the registry as the big hub to store all image
repositories
and the repository is storing commits/tagged versions of a specific image
But what is docker images then? It's a registry as well isn't it? It holds all images that I've built locally or pulled.
If my claim is valid:
How does it comply with running a private registry (mentioned here https://docs.docker.com/registry/deploying/)
Running this docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart=always --name registry registry:2
Would deploy this new registry into my docker images...
So now I have a registry within my registry... registception?
What is the difference besides the custom registry is deployable?
Its not a local image registry as other questions have pointed. It is an image cache. The purpose of the image cache is to avoid having every time to download the same image whenever you do a docker run.
docker images simply lists all the cached images on the machine. Whenever there is newer image on the registry, the image(some layers) are downloaded and cached when doing docker pull .... Also, when a layer exists in the local cache, docker tells you that, example:
Step 2/2 : CMD /bin/bash
---> Using cache
On the other hand, a docker registry is a central repository to store images. It provide a remote api to pull and push images. The local image cache does not have this feature. Images in the local cache are read and stored used local docker commands that simply read files under /var/lib/docker/...
To make things clear, think of Docker remote registries (such as Docker Hub) as the remote Git repositories. You pull Docker images (like git repositories) that you need and you play with it.
Like remote Git repositories such as GitHub\BitBucket, Docker registries are also public and private. Public registries are for public usage and open-source projects. Examples include in like Docker Hub. Where as private registries are for organizational use or for your own. Examples for private registries include Azure Container Registry, EC2 Container Registry etc.
The official Docker Registry image is just a Docker registry image for your own system, you can't share them with others unless you have a server or a public Internet IP address. Think of it as Bonobo Private Git Server for Windows.
Your local image registry as you mentioned are all those images that you have build locally or pulled from a registry public or private you can see it like a local cache of images that you can re use without download or rebuild each time.
Running the registry what actually does is to spin up a server that implements the Docker Registry API which allows users to push, pull, delete and handles the storage of this images and their layers. See it like a central repository like npm, nexus
For example if you run the registry in your.registry.com:5000
You can do things like
docker build -t your.registry.com:5000/my-image:tag .
docker push your.registry.com:5000/my-image:tag
So others that have access to your server can pull it
docker pull your.registry.com:5000/my-image:tag
I'm using docker-compose command to run multiple containers. The problem is my docker-compose has to pull some images from the public repository and some from a private repository. What I'm planning to do is push all required images to the private repository but how can I make docker-compose pull the images from the private repository.
In short -> How to point to a private repository when the images are only available there
Use docker login command. (Official doc)
Enter your credentials, and then you can pull private image, only if you have an access.
If you want to login to a self-hosted registry you can specify this by adding the server name.
docker login localhost:8080
Thanks to #herm's comment, if you want to use swarm, use :
--with-registry-auth option.
Personnaly, I use this command :
docker stack deploy --with-registry-auth --compose-file dev.compose.yml myProjectName
