Docker Registry 2.0-如何删除未使用的图像?

我们将我们的私人船坞注册表更新为官方注册表2.0。这个版本现在可以删除由 # 标签识别的 docker 图像(参见 https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/api/#deleting-an-image) ,但我仍然没有看到一种方法来清理旧图像。

由于我们的 CI 服务器不断地生成新的图像,我需要一个方法来删除私人注册表中不再由命名标记标识的所有图像。

If there's no built-in way to achieve this, I think a custom script could possibly work, but I don't see a v2 API method either to list all stored hashtags of an image..

我如何保持我的私人注册表干净? 有什么提示吗?

There is some discussion happening to design this - right now, there is no layer cleanup tool / endpoint.

I would encourage you to go to:

and/or reach out on Freenode IRC on #docker-distribution for more.

I was looking for the same functionality in the registry v2 api but only found soft deleting which is not what I was looking for. While researching I found the Github project delete-docker-registry-image which removes the actual files from the mounted volume via a bash script. Not tested it maybe useful...

This is doable, although ugly. You need to be running (I think) registry 2.3 or greater, and have enabled deleting (REGISTRY_STORAGE_DELETE_ENABLED=True env var or equivalent). The example commands below assume a local filestore in /srv/docker-registry, but I'd be surprised if something equivalent couldn't be cooked up for other storage backends.

For each repository you wish to tidy up, you need to enumerate the digest references that are no longer required. The easiest way to do this is per-tag, using latest as an example in this case, you'd do something like:

ls -1tr /srv/docker-registry/v2/repositories/<repo>/_manifests/tags/latest/index/sha256 \
| tail -n +3

This will list all but the three most recent digests pushed to the latest tag. Alternately, if you don't care about tags so much, but just want to keep the last few references pushed, you can do:

ls -1t /srv/docker-registry/v2/repositories/<repo>/_manifests/revisions/sha256 \
| tail -n +3

Then, you just delete the references you don't need:

for hash in $(ls -1t /srv/docker-registry/v2/repositories/<repo>/_manifests/tags/latest/index/sha256 | tail -n +3); do
curl -X DELETE https://registry:5000/v2/<repo>/manifests/sha256:$hash
done

Finally, you need to do a GC run, because the registry implements "soft deletes", which doesn't actually delete anything, it just makes it unavailable:

docker exec docker-registry /bin/registry \
garbage-collect /path/to/config.yml

Yes, this is all messy as hell, grovelling around in the backend storage, because there's no API method to enumerate all digests associated with a given tag, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Deletion of images (you can keep 10 last versions, like I do in my CI) is done in three steps:

  1. Enable image deletion by setting environment variable REGISTRY_STORAGE_DELETE_ENABLED: "true" and passing it to docker-registry

  2. Run below script (it will delete all images and tags but keep last 10 versions)

    registry.py -l user:pass -r https://example.com:5000 --delete --num 10

  3. Run garbage collection (you can put it into your daily cron task)

    docker-compose -f [path_to_your_docker_compose_file] run registry bin/registry garbage-collect /etc/docker/registry/config.yml

registry.py can be downloaded from the link below, it also allows listing images, tags and layers, as well as deleting a particular image and/or tag.

Before garbage collection my registry folder was 7 Gb, after I ran the above steps it deflated down to 1 Gb.

I pieced together various parts of this thread and created an easy to use cleanup script in bash You can check it out in this gist cleanup.sh

Regarding your question:

I would need a method to delete all images from the private registry which are no longer identified by a named tag

A new version of the docker registry in distribution/registry:master has this nice feature! However, you won't be able to trigger it from the API.

Anyway, you will be able to clean all untagged manifests in your registry, meaning that every overwritten tag won't leave old manifests and blobs in the registry. Every "unused" layer will be cleaned by the Registry Garbage Collectior.

You just have to run a docker exec:

docker exec ${container_id} registry garbage-collect \
/path/to/your/registry/config.yml \
--delete-untagged=true

Looking at this garbage-collect binary help:

Usage:
registry garbage-collect <config> [flags]
Flags:
-m, --delete-untagged=false: delete manifests that are not currently referenced via tag
-d, --dry-run=false: do everything except remove the blobs
-h, --help=false: help for garbage-collect

You can have a look at the github PR. It's been merged and usable with distribution/registry, tag master as of 2018-02-23. It supersedes the docker/docker-registry project with a new API design, focused around security and performance...

I did use this feature today and recovered 89% of registry space (5.7 GB vs. 55 GB). Then I switched back to stable registry.

I host regestry in docker container with name docker-registry_registry_1 from image: registry:2

I just run garbage-collect with -m

docker exec docker-registry_registry_1 bin/registry garbage-collect /etc/docker/registry/config.yml -m

For removing unsed images, three steps manually on these sequence:

  1. docker rmi -f **imageid**

  2. rm -Rf /home/**homedirectory**/docker-registry/data/docker/registry/v2/repositories/**yoursystemname**/**yourimagename**/_manifests/tags/**image version**/

  3. docker exec $(docker ps -q) bin/registry garbage-collect /etc/docker/registry/config.yml -m

*Pay attention:

** You must execute those commands (above) in test environment, because if you commit any mistake or didn't understand any step, you don't damage your production environment.

** You can schedule those commands (above) using crontab as root. In the step 3) you must execute removing "-it", as result: docker exec $(docker ps -q) bin/registry garbage-collect /etc/docker/registry/config.yml -m`.

It works for me for more than 6 months.
