Which container image repository is the supported one for pulling centos7 image?

[zmiklank]

Hello,

I am unable to find some official information about the supported centos7 container image. It seems like registry.centos.org stopped working and the image on quay.io/centos is 3 years old. From where should I pull centos7 image please?

Also, if this is not right place to ask could you please redirect me?

Hi @zmiklank please use the links from https://www.centos.org/download/ , respectively https://hub.docker.com/_/centos and https://quay.io/repository/centos/centos

@bamachrn As @zmiklank wrote the image in repository https://quay.io/repository/centos/centos:centos7 is 3 years old. Currently we use image from registry as FROM registry.centos.org/centos/centos:7 but if failed with reason:

Get https://registry.centos.org/v1/_ping: dial tcp: lookup registry.centos.org on 172.31.0.2:53: no such host
Pulling image registry.centos.org/centos/centos:7 failed.
Let's wait 5 seconds and try again.

Hello @bamachrn, thank you for your answer. Are the images on dockerhub and quay.io the same? It seems that the one from dockerhub is 6 months old, on quay.io 3 years old.

@bamachrn The registry https://registry.centos.org/ is not available, nor by podman

podman pull registry.centos.org/centos/centos:7

@zmiklank I am not sure about that, but I would suggest to use the dockerhub one as it is updated.

@bamachrn and would it be possible to have updated also the image on quay.io?

[bamachrn]

Hi @phracek unfortunately, registry.centos.org is now decommissioned. As announced here https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2023-May/142956.html

@bamachrn and would it be possible to have updated also the image on quay.io?

@zmiklank I am not sure about this.

@bamachrn Thanks for your reply. Could you please then tell we where elsewhere can I ask about this?

I am closing this issue, as we got all the information we currently need. Thank you.
