Still maintained?

[jsravn]

Just checking if this repo is still maintained. I see a lot of pending PRs/issues. Before using this lib, would like to check.

It does not seem like it. As of now it's also broken because digest moved to github.com/opencontainers/go-digest

Can somebody maintain this again? It seems docker didn't provide any smooth client library to access registry.

Pinging some of the top contributors, hopefully someone is the owner of the repository and can answer to this issue.

Sorry for the noise.

Hi,

I actually don't know if this repo is still maintained; I just used the API for a really simple cli tool I used during the setup of a private Docker registry. Fine tuning the registry took just a few days and since then I basically stopped working on my project.

Hey,

-this is unofficial, just me talking not Heroku's endorsement- This repository is largely unmaintained at this point. We're not really using it anymore, and aren't putting any effort in keeping it up to date. If anyone wants to maintain a fork, you should feel free to do so.

In case anyone is reading, we are going to maintain a fork https://github.com/appscode/docker-registry-client

[prune998]

it seems to be dead, and the fork mentioned above does not seem to be updated too...

[tamalsaha]

@prune998, what are you looking for?

[prune998]

a working docker registry v2 client that works and is easy to use to list the images in my repo... I'm strongly thinking to making pour HTTPS requests myself right now :) I'll use it in my Kubernetes deployment application to select which image to use when templating the manifest

[lorenzobenvenuti]

Hi @prune998, I coded a client for debug purposes when I had to setup a Docker registry a while ago. It's far from being complete and I'm not working actively on it, but I guess that if you just need to list images you can give it a try: https://github.com/lorenzobenvenuti/docker-registry-cli

[prune998]

thanks @lorenzobenvenuti but your client is not maintained and is using github.com/heroku/docker-registry-client/registry which is this repo, which is not a working package anymore... which is the point here :)

[prune998]

maybe I could go with https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/registry/client/repository.go Anyone played with it ? It must be the official way now... ?

[lorenzobenvenuti]

Ops, sorry: I thought I had a release available to download but I was wrong, I compiled the binaries for another Go project I have here on Github...

I created a fork (https://github.com/nokia/docker-registry-client) that:

• fixes a bug in token authentication (affecting UploadBlob() and PutManifest())
• tries to address most of the open issues and PRs in this repo
• gradually adds comments and examples to the code
• is tested against most popular public docker registries
• is easily extendable with tests against your private registries
• includes new features, like:
  • more flexible constructor
  • schema agnostic (get) Manifest() method,
  • support for manifest list (a.k.a. fat manifest)
  • convenience method to assemble and upload schema2 manifest from scratch

I also created several PRs here for the features added to my fork (https://github.com/heroku/docker-registry-client/pull/60, https://github.com/heroku/docker-registry-client/pull/61, https://github.com/heroku/docker-registry-client/pull/62, https://github.com/heroku/docker-registry-client/pull/63, https://github.com/heroku/docker-registry-client/pull/64).
