Question 1

How do I update my Docker Hub README with docker-pushrm?

Accepted Answer

After logging in with 'docker login', run 'docker pushrm username/repo' from the directory with your README.md; it automatically uses the local file and updates the registry description, as shown in the usage example.

Question 2

Does docker-pushrm work with Podman?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you need to use it as a standalone executable and set up a Docker-style config file with credentials or use environment variables, as explained in the section for podman and other tools, which adds manual configuration steps.

Question 3

How to set up authentication for Red Hat Quay?

Accepted Answer

Create an API key in the Quay webinterface by making an organization and app, then set it via env var (e.g., APIKEY__QUAY_IO) or Docker config file; the README details this multi-step process, which can be time-consuming.

Question 4

Can I use docker-pushrm with GitHub Container Registry?

Accepted Answer

No, docker-pushrm currently only supports Docker Hub, Quay, and Harbor v2; for GitHub Container Registry, you'd need to use other methods or request support by opening an issue, as indicated in the limitations.

Question 5

What's better: docker-pushrm or manually updating the README?

Accepted Answer

docker-pushrm automates the process, reducing errors and saving time in CI/CD pipelines, while manual updates are prone to oversight; however, for one-off changes, manual might be simpler if automation isn't needed.

Question 6

How to integrate docker-pushrm into my GitLab CI pipeline?

Accepted Answer

Use the provided container image in your .gitlab-ci.yml with environment variables like DOCKER_USER and DOCKER_PASS, as shown in the example, though note the workaround for GitLab limitations with entrypoint and script.

Question 7

Is there a way to use a different README file for the container registry?

Accepted Answer

Yes, create a README-containers.md file in your project, which takes precedence, or specify a custom path with --file option, allowing separate content for registry vs. git repository documentation.
