ImageSpy API

Usage

Requirements

• A mysql database
• A Docker Registry

Server

The Server exposes the API via HTTP in JSON format. It is a long-running process.

1. Configure Docker Registry to send events to the Server

    notifications:
      endpoints:
        - name: imagespy
          url: https://imagespy.example.com/registry/event
          timeout: 500ms
          threshold: 5
          backoff: 1s
          # Recommended: Avoids sending an event on every push of a layer
          ignoredmediatypes:
            - application/octet-stream
   

   Check Working with notifications in the official documentation of the official Docker Registry documentation for more information on events.

2. Start the Server:

    ./api server --db.connection "root:root@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/imagespy?charset=utf8&parseTime=True&loc=Local" --http.address "127.0.0.1:3001" --registry.address "registry.example.com" --registry.password "secret" --registry.username "reguser"
   

3. Push a new Docker image to the Registry

Updater

The Updater is checks if a newer version of a Docker image is available at the Docker Registry and updates it. It is a one-off process and should be scheduled to run by external tools, e.g. cron.

Start the Updater:

./api updater --db.connection "root:root@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/imagespy?charset=utf8&parseTime=True&loc=Local" --registry.address "registry.example.com" --registry.password "secret" --registry.username "reguser"

Note: It is not strictly necessary to run the Updater when the Server is configured to receive events from a Docker Registry. Scheduling it to run at least once a day can still be beneficial to ensure images are up-to-date in case the Server missed events due to downtime.
