openprojectva/archlinux repository overview

⁠Tags

The latest build is equivalent to the child image. The parent image was used to build the latest image. Because hub.docker.com doesn't provide an API to delete pushed images, there are no tags that point to specific dates. Because hub.docker.com API doesn't allow to retag the images the "Last Updated" time of the parent tags doesn't represent the actual build time.

⁠Self-replication

You can use a temporary filesystem or any other empty forlder for $build_dir. # export date=$(date +%Y.%m.%d) # docker run -a STDOUT -a STDERR --rm -v "$build_dir:/mnt" --cap-add SYS_ADMIN openprojectva/archlinux mkimage-arch archlinux-$date.tar # docker import $build_dir/archlinux-$date.tar archlinux:$date
