I'm having problems getting a listing of images from a specific registry that I've set up on a local server, or, maybe, I'm having issues publishing them to that registry in the first place, as this is my first adventure into docker registries, I may just be confused with the terms used.

There's an old question, here, that kind of looks like what I want to achieve, but it appears that docker has gained built-in support for this, in the meanwhile, so the methods mentioned here are no longer relevant.

I have 2 servers (for the purpose of this question):

  1. rancher-server: This server has a rancher:v2.6.0 container running and a registry:2 container.
  2. k8s-server: This is just a freshly installed server, with the docker and kubernetes packages installed, that I want the rancher server to administer.

On k8s-server, I'm trying to spin up a docker image rancher/rancher-agent:v2.6.0 with a few arguments, that should let it relinquish control to the rancher server.

The trick here is, that this is all required to work without internet access (currently there IS internet access, but it's a PoC for a task that requires to be air-gapped). For the purposes of this question, I really just want to be able to spin up docker containers on k8s-server, using the registry on rancher-server.

Currently, this is the state of rancher-server:

# docker ps --all

# docker image ls --all (the list is big, this is just a sample):

On the k8s-server, I try to list the contents of that registry:

I had to jump through a few hoops to get there, in the first place, marking the registry as unsafe in /etc/docker/daemon.json on the k8s-server and disabling selinux on the rancher-server, for example.

I've tried to docker login rancher-server.example.com:5000 first, but that made no difference. It does look like, to me, that the k8s-server is configured correctly, but that the images on rancher-server haven't been tagged/pushed properly, but when I look back at the registry, I don't know how to do it differently, and, as far as I understand the registry, it looks fine to me?

I've changed the server names for anonymity and the output has been lightly edited for presentation.

EDIT:

I think I found a clue to what's happening here, it turns out that I can actually run the images from this registry remotely, just fine, it just so happens that I have no way to discover the names of the images, however, if I do a docker run -d --privileged --restart=unless-stopped --net=host -v /etc/kubernetes:/etc/kubernetes -v /var/run:/var/run rancher-server.example.com:5000/rancher/rancher-agent:v2.6.0 --server https://rancher-server.example.com:5000 --token <token> --ca-checksum <ca-checksum> --etcd --controlplane it actually pulls and runs the container, so it looks like the registry itself is fine, but maybe the index isn't?
