skopeo-delete(1)

NAME

skopeo-delete - Mark the image-name for later deletion by the registry's garbage collector.

SYNOPSIS

skopeo delete image-name

Mark image-name for deletion. To release the allocated disk space, you must login to the container registry server and execute the container registry garbage collector. E.g.,

    /usr/bin/registry garbage-collect /etc/docker-distribution/registry/config.yml

    Note: sometimes the config.yml is stored in /etc/docker/registry/config.yml

    If you are running the container registry inside of a container you would execute something like:

    $ docker exec -it registry /usr/bin/registry garbage-collect /etc/docker-distribution/registry/config.yml

--authfile path

Path of the authentication file. Default is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json, which is set using skopeo login.
  If the authorization state is not found there, $HOME/.docker/config.json is checked, which is set using docker login.

--creds username[:password] for accessing the registry.

--cert-dir path Use certificates at path (*.crt, *.cert, *.key) to connect to the registry.

--tls-verify bool-value Require HTTPS and verify certificates when talking to container registries (defaults to true).

--no-creds bool-value Access the registry anonymously.

Additionally, the registry must allow deletions by setting REGISTRY_STORAGE_DELETE_ENABLED=true for the registry daemon.

--registry-token Bearer token for accessing the registry.

EXAMPLES

Mark image example/pause for deletion from the registry.example.com registry:

    $ skopeo delete --force docker://registry.example.com/example/pause:latest

See above for additional details on using the command delete.
