Badgen.net: Add badge for docker image meta

Created on 29 Oct 2018 · 9Comments · Source: badgen/badgen.net

microbadger.com shows the size, number of layers, and version of a docker image.

It would be nice if badgen could support this service (I am not sure if an API is available).

Seems we can get layers info from official registry api
https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/api/#pulling-an-image

While I hate to add another token 😾

I found the API ✨

https://api.microbadger.com/v1/images/node
https://api.microbadger.com/v1/images/elasticsearch
https://api.microbadger.com/v1/images/mhart/alpine-node

It's just super slow 🤷‍♂️

Indeed it's extremely slow 🤦‍♂️

Badgen's requests would timeout at 3 seconds (to make sure response for GitHub before it's timeout). We need to find a faster api for this, maybe official docker hub api or some other handy alternative. Or help them speed up this. A simple CDN cache would do the work.

I looked at the official docker hub api but it doesn't seem to aggregate the sum of the layers. You might be able to get each layer individually with several api calls and then perform the sum yourself.

That's basically what package phobia does for npm...but even npm isn't interested in adding this feature to their registry. So docker will likely avoid this too 😞
