Find the list of Google Container Registry public images

Question

Where can I find the list of GCR public images? In case of docker images, we can list it in hub.docker.com. But I couldn\'t find anything like that for GCR.

Answer 1

The link to the list of Google Container Registry public images is: https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/images/google-containers/GLOBAL.

Answer 2

I think there's a different answer to this question now:

You can run:

$ gcloud container images list --project google-containers

NAME
gcr.io/google-containers/addon-resizer
gcr.io/google-containers/aggregator
gcr.io/google-containers/alpine-iptables-amd64
gcr.io/google-containers/alpine-iptables-arm
gcr.io/google-containers/alpine-iptables-arm64
gcr.io/google-containers/alpine-with-bash
gcr.io/google-containers/apparmor-loader
gcr.io/google-containers/busybox
gcr.io/google-containers/cadvisor
...

You can also directly use gsutil to list all the blobs in a public GCR bucket with:

gsutil list gs://artifacts.PROJECT_ID.appspot.com/containers/repositories

Answer 3

tl;dr There is no such thing, at least today.

GCR is first and foremost a private registry. However, we respect the ACL's that users put on the GCS bucket backing their repository. This is how we offer anonymous read to buckets like:

gcr.io/google-containers/...
gcr.io/google-appengine/...

Given a specific project, you can search within it using:

docker search gcr.io/google-containers/<substring>

Answer 4

"Distroless" images are also in public:

• Full list of distroless images on GCR: https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/images/distroless
• Distroless repo on GitHub: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless
