Once Docker container tag found it's way into Satellite, there is no need to remove it - even if it is no longer needed. Since Satellite 6.5 we have ability to set Docker tags whitelist that defines list of tags to synchronize. This list can be changed at any time and will take effect during next sync. Sync will pull in tags that were not present previously, but will not remove already existing ones. It means that if tag was whitelisted and then removed from list, it will remain in Satellite indefinitely. This doesn't seem to be a problem now, but eventually might impact user-experience (when Satellite lists large number of tags that aren't used anymore) and performance (as tags table is filled with completely unnecessary data). Steps to reproduce: 1. Create new Docker repository with couple of tags whitelisted 2. Sync repository 3. Remove one or more tags from whitelist for repository, but leave list non-empty 4. Sync repository again 5. Verify that non-whitelisted tag is still present in Satellite (e.g. `hammer docker tag list`)
The Satellite Team is attempting to provide an accurate backlog of bugzilla requests which we feel will be resolved in the next few releases. We do not believe this bugzilla will meet that criteria, and have plans to close it out in 1 month. This is not a reflection on the validity of the request, but a reflection of the many priorities for the product. If you have any concerns about this, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support or your account team. If we do not hear from you, we will close this bug out. Thank you.
Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
