@James-McAllister_0459 said in deleting docker images via REST API:

Invoke-RestMethod

With that help i can now delete when i enter a digest. I had to switch to using Invoke-WebRequest rather than Invoke-RestMethod to get the response headers so i actually get the correct digest (read the docs again :-)

Is there any way to get the published date or created date of the image from a REST api?

I can see i could get it from the database and a join between the DockerImages and DockerImageTags tables.

I am trying to use a PowerShell script to experiment with deleting docker images using the recently introduced REST API. When i issue the delete operation it returns a 401 error. I thus am assumed i needed to pass an API key. So i generated one with all permissions (overkill but it wasn't obvious which specific ones would apply). I passed that as a header and there was no change.

The Uri value is the same one i used on a GET which returned the info on the image (config. digest, image layers etc)

Invoke-RestMethod -Method DELETE -Uri https://MyServer/v2/Main/bhge/dcfr-microservices/manifests/280307 -ErrorVariable RestError -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

then went to

Invoke-RestMethod -Method DELETE -Uri https://MyServer/v2/Main/bhge/dcfr-microservices/manifests/280307 -Headers @{"X-ApiKey" = "DdRBo6_mbzH80XEpXSfz" } -ErrorVariable RestError -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

i also tried a few other permutations but all end up with 401 errors.

How should I really be doing this?
