Hello. I’ve been wondering a few days why registry opensuse is a bit oudated (upwards of 2-3 days at most) to docker hub
It seems illogical to me, when registry opensuse org should be the official and docker hub is rate-limited.
So it would mean that people who actually use the official sources are getting an outdated snapshot of up to 3 days old and everyone is getting crammed together at hub.docker.com
I saw here that the delay seems to come from OBS, seems like there is 2 days old builds in Pulse of Tumbleweed.
So where does the builds from docker hub come from? Not from OBS?
It was quite annoying, I had a bug that had recently been fixed a snapshot, but I was forced not to use registry.opensuse - one which I had configured and added explicitly, because I thought I did myself and others a favor by using the official registry and not further hogging docker hub
The other day I had a pkg bug in a dependency to libvips via registry.opensuse tumbleweed:latest while
It would install on host just fine
It would install via dockerhub just fine
So with the snapshot date on registry.opensuse being outdated + experience with dockerhub+baremetal host working it must be registry.opensuse being outdated.
I just think thats unfortunate, I’d like to be able to reproduce host snapshot experience in a container from official sources.
Any reason why its out of date, especially compared to dockerhub? Backlog surely can’t be that large on OBS or?
Be careful what you wish for, because I can show the facts as soon as I am home and see the exact snapshot, the date, the package error and everything.
What about a bit of admission. You have the data right there, the snapshot does not always match up to the snapshot on history.
Why is dockerhub always up to date and official registry is not? Someone is updating dockerhub more frequently obviously.
OK, I’m going to suggest that you calm down. All Andrei is asking for is specific information rather than a narrative without actual links and details. It’s extremely difficult to diagnose something that isn’t specifically specified. It wasn’t until an hour ago that you provided specific information as to which of the 1,203 results for “opensuse” or the 151 results for “tumbleweed” on Docker Hub you were referring to. There’s no way for anyone to know anything about who is building the repo there that you’re referring to as a point of comparison, and it is absolutely reasonable to ask for clarification before attempting to help.
This is a user-to-user support forum, and you’re asking a question here that is best asked of the people who maintain the repos you’re referring to.
You’ve now provided information about which repo you’re looking at.
My speculative answer is that the two repos use different CI/CD pipelines, and probably have different automated QA processes they go through. Something may be failing in the registry.opensuse.org pipeline that isn’t failing in the Docker hub repo pipeline.
If it were me, I’d would source from the same repository if you want a reproducible result, rather than sourcing from two different repositories.
Otherwise, I would look at the build service to see who the maintainer of the repo on registry.o.o is and ask them what is causing the delay.
