Docker-node: What happened to tags for version 7?

[kingjerod]

My build is failing because Tag 7.10.1 not found in repository docker.io/library/node

I see the tags for other 7.10.1 versions (wheezy and slim) but not the base tag?

[kingjerod]

I see this commit to remove 7.10.x because it is no longer maintained:
https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node/commit/a2600f4e0e4af5abd4a8e2a88cf46337500dbe7c

Even if v7 of Node is not LTS, why remove it? You've essentially forced everybody who is using Node 7 to upgrade to 8 to fix their environment.

I don't have an explanation for the error you are getting, but this works for me:

$ docker pull node:7.10.1

Removing the Docker files from this repo _does not_ remove them from the Docker hub. It just means we aren't creating any new 7.10.x images.

[kingjerod]

Very interesting, sorry for the confusion. Either CircleCI or Docker hub was having issues finding the image. I retried the build about 5 times and it continued to fail, but now it works.

All the version 7 tags seem to have been yanked from Docker Hub. Wondering if this is intentional?

[chorrell]

The 7 tags are still there even though they don't show up in https://hub.docker.com/r/library/node/tags/.

$ docker pull node:7-slim

I guess they only display the current actively supported images? I don't have an explanation for that.

It might be worth following up with them:
