Skopeo inspect vs Crane manifest

[codequester]

Hi, i am assuming that the inspect command reads the manifest of the OCI image but wondering why its different from the out put of crane manifest . Pls find the output from both the commands below

$ skopeo inspect docker://shankar29/hello-container | jq .
{
  "Name": "docker.io/shankar29/hello-container",
  "Digest": "sha256:35f78dd7de20703a3492390b4d35661d7833642809ad04c32a64416bb545de72",

  ],

}

and

$ crane manifest docker.io/shankar29/hello-container | jq .
{
  "schemaVersion": 2,
  "mediaType": "application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+json",

skopeo inspect never produces that output with that (lack of) options. Please provide a complete, accurate, reproducer.

It seems the report was edited and the original report was closer to something accurate…

The output of skopeo inspect is, by default, not the raw OCI data. (One of the major reasons to use skopeo inspect is to abstract from the several possible raw formats). You might want the --raw option.

@mtrmac Sorry i mixed up the output of the 2 commands. Pls find the corrected version. I have edited my original post. I will try the --raw option as well

Thanks Shankar

Thanks --raw options produces the same output. Thanks for the quick response!!
