You can use public images without being authenticated (shifterimg login) in the following cases:

When using authentication, it's relative to the source you want to use (dockerhub and c4science registry supported) and the authentication is saved per cluster.

You need to ask for an account on the c4science registry

Running a Docker image with Shifter - Step by step

...

1. Get a docker image from dockerhub for instance

   Code Block
   theme Midnight
   $ docker pull alpine:latest $ docker images

   Account on the c4science registry

   
   

3. Request an account
Change your password on https://registry.c4science.ch
Set up your machine

• Login on the registry from your local Docker installation (you need an account, see 

  Code Block
  theme Midnight
  $ docker login registry.c4science.ch Username (username): username Password: Login Succeeded

  
  

4. Upload a Docker image to the registry

   • On the web interface, create a Project on the registry (private or public)

   • Tag the image you want to upload on your local machine and push it to the registry
     NOTE: Do not use the `-` character in the tag name, only letters, numbers and underscore

     Code Block
     theme Midnight
     $ docker tag alpine:latest registry.c4science.ch/yourproject/alpine:latest $ docker push registry.c4science.ch/yourproject/alpine:latest

     
     

5. Pull an image on Shifter and specify a user or group ACL
   
   

   • From each cluster frontend (i.e.: fidis.epfl.ch), login to the registry, pull the image and check it's was pulled with success.

     Code Block
     theme Midnight
     $ shifterimg login default username: <username> default password: $ shifterimg pull yourproject/alpine:latest $ shifterimg images tcm docker READY 9797e5e798 2018-03-15T16:00:59 yourproject/alpine:latest

     
     

   • You can specify one or multiple (separated by a comma) LDAP username and/or group so the image is only available to those people

     Code Block
     theme Midnight
     $ id $ shifterimg --group scitas-ge --user aubort,user2 pull yourproject/alpin

     
     

   • To update the user/group ACL you can re-run the pull command
   • The images are unique for each cluster (deneb, fidis, helvetios, izar)

   • To view the full info about the images (warning: JSON):

     Code Block
     theme Midnight collapse true
     $ shifterimg -v images Message: { "list": [ { "ENTRY": null, "ENV": [ "PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" ], "WORKDIR": "MISSING", "groupACL": [], "id": "9797e5e798a034d53525968de25bd25c913e7bb17c6d068ebc778cb33e3ff6e5", "itype": "docker", "last_pull": 1536842228.15727, "status": "READY", "status_message": "", "system": "fdata2-int.fidis", "tag": [ "scitas/alpine:latest" ], "userACL": [] }, [...]

     
     

6. Run the image
