regclient VS finch

But I'd suggest looking into if it's solved by other tools already, like regclient/regclient and their regsync features or something like containers/skopeo.

This is possible with the help of regctl.

I've been working on some stuff last couple of days to give me this function. Together with regctl I've got some drafts working.

with more options like auth and certs. Infra might include backing disk and LB; if you need to scale, run several and keep them in sync with one of many open tools eg regclient.

Also plenty of cloud services now have registries like GHCR, ECR, etc. which are basically pay per Gb.

I had a similar problem and ended up using regctl. You might have to tweak your docker config depending on the registries you use, by setting a file type ci/cd envvar with the name DOCKER_CONFIG

I was getting hundreds of permissions errors. Oh no, I knew this was going too well. Looking at the current issues within the Finch GitHub repo, I found an issue that I thought would help resolve this problem. Looking at this I created a new docker-compose file to take into consideration some of the comments, as well as adding a new step.

You can also try finch from AWS which combines a similar stack

I work at AWS and helped with testing finch during development

I've not used this myself, but they are pushing this at work instead of having to pay for Docker Desktop - Check out Finch - OpenSource

Lima is still quite new and I am even newer to it so bear in mind that there may be better ways to wield this weapon. There is also a lot of development in this space with the likes of Finch, Multipass and others offering potential alternatives or simplifications to this approach so watch this space!
