Update Docker source to add support for OCI specification instead of docker v2
Change proposition: Replace Docker-Companion with Skopeo
Hi, this is related to #822
I progressed on my journey with Distrobuilder to convert "docker" images to lxc images. As mentioned in #822, it is perfectly possible when your docker image spec follows the docker V2 specs. If you use the OCI spec its become an issue.
IE: While I was trying to convert the Homarr OCI image into LXC termplate format I received the following error message.
OCI index found, but Accept header does not support OCI indexes
I suspect it is because of Docker-Companion
This package last update has been done 3 years ago and it seems it supports only docker v2 specs...
I suggest to replace this one by Skopeo, more modern and up to date compared to Docker-Companion. And it is an official OCI tool.
I am trying to do it by myself, but I just started to use Distrobuilder two days ago and I am pretty new in Go, so I hoped a more experienced maintainer could do it ^^
I didn't fully got the data transaction point yet (about how Distrobuilder load layers and compose them when downloaded by Docker-Companion), so until I get a full picture of this I hope this implementation could be done by someone else in a next release :)
Thanks in advance
Just noticed skopeo do not deliver a package.. :face_exhaling:
Hello,
I have been routed to https://github.com/containers/image by a skopeo maintainer Image is the underlying package used by skopeo copy as he explained in https://github.com/containers/skopeo/issues/2234
So it should be the perfect tool to use with the same benefits as skopeo
