Delete docker images via API?

[Guest]

Hello.

I'm writing a script that will cleanup old docker images created in our CI process.

I'm able to get the feeds, repositories, tags and images via the api.
The last step is to delete some images, and I can't find any way in the api documentation.

Is there a way to delete docker images using the api?

My current workaround is delete the images using the web interface.

Best regards

Hello Jonas,

Deleting images isn't in the native API because the stored procedures only delete metadata, but if your CI server has access to the database ProGet is using, you can run the stored procedure to delete the metadata for the image and ProGet will automatically delete the files whenever the FeedCleanup scheduled task next runs.

Assuming your docker image is named proget:443/foo/bar/baz, the foo feed has ID 42, and the digest for the version of the image you want to delete is f52fbd32b2b3b86ff88ef6c490628285f482af15ddcb29541f94bcf526a3f6c7, this SQL statement will work:

EXEC [DockerImages_DeleteImage]
    /* Feed_Id */ 42,
    /* Repository_Name*/ 'bar/baz',
    /* Image_Digest */ 'f52fbd32b2b3b86ff88ef6c490628285f482af15ddcb29541f94bcf526a3f6c7'
GO

If you don't know the digest, https://proget/api/json/DockerImages_GetImages?API_Key=[your API key from /administration/api-keys]&Feed_Id=42&Repository_Name=bar/baz returns metadata including Image_Digest and Published_Date, and https://proget/api/json/DockerImages_GetTags?API_Key=[your API key from /administration/api-keys]&Feed_Id=42&Repository_Name=bar/baz returns metadata including Image_Digest and Tag_Name.
