The registry.centos.org no longer has DNS record

[adelton]

Hello,

today our FreeIPA container build started to fail due to "lookup registry.centos.org: no such host": https://github.com/freeipa/freeipa-container/issues/536. Checking from other sides than just the GitHub Actions runner, the registry no longer seems to have a DNS record:

$ dig +short @1.1.1.1 registry.centos.org
$ 

Is that expected? What is the official location of CentOS 7 base container image (what used to be registry.centos.org/centos:7)?

Thanks, Jan

the official location for centos container has always been either dockerhub or quay.io, both referenced on https://www.centos.org/download/ , so respectively https://hub.docker.com/_/centos and https://quay.io/repository/centos/centos

It's true that https://web.archive.org/web/20200226140109/https://registry.centos.org/about/ did not say "official", just "centralized".

But the About for this very repository says

The master Index used by the CentOS Container Pipeline to build, test, deliver and lifecycle manage containers at https://registry.centos.org/

and the README start with

This is the master index used by the CentOS Community Container Pipeline Service to build and deliver containers at registry.centos.org

For the record, the announcement seems to have been made in https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2023-May/142956.html.
