Currently it's not possible to build an Image with ruby:1.9.3

Currently it's not possible to build or run an image with ruby 1.9.3:

berti@Mac-mini-von-Berti musikerseiten % sudo docker run -it ruby:1.9.3
Password:
Unable to find image 'ruby:1.9.3' locally
docker: Error response from daemon: missing signature key.

I tried it with an Mac Mini with M1 and on an Ubuntu Server (24.04) with amd64

I know it's an old version, but maybe you could help me to get the app of my customer get running again.

An image that old isn't compatible with the more recent docker engine.

Same with ruby:1.9.3-p551 on Ubuntu 22

$ docker -v
Docker version 24.0.7, build 24.0.7-0ubuntu2~22.04.1

$ docker pull ruby:1.9.3-p551
Error response from daemon: missing signature key

Seems like this error started to affect pulls recently, I was able to build with that image a few weeks ago (Oct 30th).

I was thinking of probably rebuilding the image from scratch, but couldn't find the source in this github repo.

Anywhere I can find the old Dockerfile used for this?

Also, is there any known workarounds to this pull error?

In the meantime, will look into: https://docs.docker.com/engine/deprecated/#pushing-and-pulling-with-image-manifest-v2-schema-1

Also see https://github.com/docker-library/ruby/issues/452

Dockerfiles are removed soon after their ruby reaches EOL. You will need to dig through git history to find the source from way back. https://github.com/docker-library/ruby/tree/069e9f5f9aa4903f4a3cb4baf6325d08d9d366e6 seems promising but who knows if that will still build with modern docker.

Likely the FROM entrypoint there has the same issue :shrug:

While there is a fix coming, you can run the following script as a temporary workaround to get the image working (requires jq and crane)

image=ruby:1.9.3
layers=$(crane manifest $image | jq -r '.fsLayers[].blobSum')
echo $layers | xargs -I% sh -c "crane blob ruby@% > %.tar.gz"
echo "FROM scratch" > Dockerfile
echo $layers | xargs -I% sh -c "echo 'ADD %.tar.gz .' >> Dockerfile"
docker build -t $image .
