Support for Alternate Docker Repositories?

[bwiggs]

How can I specify an image for a container that's not on docker hub? Are non-standard docker repositories supported at this time?

According to the readme, the following is marked as TO DO, which I think is related to this?

Use non-default network

Some Context: Microsoft is moving their MSSQL docker images away from docker hub and into their own repo at mcr.microsoft.com. See the "We're Moving" notice here.

We are moving to mcr.microsoft.com where you can pull SQL Server 2017 on Linux containers as well as SQL Server 2019 preview containers. SQL Server 2019 preview containers will only be available on mcr.microsoft.com. Overtime we will only publish to mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server and eventually deprecate microsoft/mssql-server-linux.

Use non-default network

This refers to Docker networks, not Docker registries

We should support different docker registries though.
Have you tried specifying the registry in the image name? I don't see any options for specifying a repository in the SDK.

Note, dktest works with other public docker registries as demonstrated here.

I'm not sure about authed registries though...

Unfortunately dktest does not work with registries behind authentication :( I think it might get problematic with the recent changes to pull limits on Docker Hub. According to docs:

User type	Pull rate limit per 6 hours
Unauthenticated users	100 per IPv4 address or IPv6 /64 subnet

Which is not a lot ;)

I opened a PR to add RegistryAuth to ImagePull options here.

Closing this issue as dktest works with other docker container registries
