The sha256
digest of the resulting images in the registry are all the same, and on disk they all share the data:
❯ du -h /var/lib/registry/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256
16G /var/lib/registry/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256
16G total
We now only support passing multiple remote tags to tart push
e.g.
tart push --populate-cache --insecure macos:14.4.1 localhost:5500/test/macos:14 localhost:5500/test/macos:sonoma
I think we talked with @edigaryev about having tart tag
command to allow tagging one remote image to a new tag but don't remember why we decided to not do it. Probably because there was no use case.

Yepp, this one works, it only pushes the image once, which is great :)
A tart tag
would overlap a bit with tart clone
I guess, as both would make a VM available under a different name. Or did you imagine it to only work for remote images? As far as I know docker tag
allows tagging local images too, so there might be value in staying close to docker
in that behavior?
Even if we allow local tagging of an image we'd still want to support something like this:
tart tag foo bar
tart push bar somewhere/bar
tart tag foo baz
tart push baz somewhere/baz
without having to upload twice? So I guess the root issue of the push
not checking if the layers already exist (?) needs to be solved either way?

Pretty much this.
We store the OCI VMs in "local" format (and not in the OCI Image Layout format, for example) in order to benefit from copy-on-write feature provided by the APFS filesystem, which in turn allows for incredibly fast tart clone
's.
Without this, we'd need to uncompress the OCI VM each time the user wants to tart clone
it.
I've set up a local registry, and trying to push a local image:
Which works fine.
But if I then do
The layers are all uploaded again. Should Tart do something to check if the layers are already present before uploading them? Or is this an issue on the registry side?
