Copying a container image from one repository to another is a common DevOps task. Sometimes, it's needed because the image is changing homes, other times, it's motivated by aggressive Docker Hub rate limiting, but often, it's simply a matter of "mirroring" public images using the company's internal registry.
In this challenge, you will need to copy a public ghcr.io/iximiuz/labs/nginx
image
from GHCR to the playground's private registry registry.iximiuz.com
.
You need to copy only one tag - :alpine
.
Store the copied image in the new registry.iximiuz.com/third-party/nginx
repository.
Beware that registry.iximiuz.com
is protected by basic auth with the username iximiuzlabs
and password rules!
.
Good luck!
Hint 1 π‘
It's an easy one - try docker pull --help
if you feel a bit lost.
Hint 2 π‘
A single image can have an arbitrary number of names, aka tags,
which can be assigned to it using the docker tag <existing-name> <new-name>
command.
The tag in this context means the full image name and not just the part after the colon.
Hint 3 π‘
If the docker login
command fails with:
Error response from daemon: Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/":
unauthorized: incorrect username or password
...make sure you are logging in to the right registry.
If no registry is specified in the command, Docker will default to docker.io
, which is Docker Hub.
In this challenge, you are expected to push the image to another registry - registry.iximiuz.com
.
Hint 4 π‘
Surprisingly or not, it's only the (fully-qualified) image name, aka reference, that matters when pushing to a registry.
If an image is named example.com:10000/foo/bar:qux
,
it will be pushed to a registry running on example.com:10000
when the docker push
command is performed.
