I recently found that docker pull nvidia/cuda:11.1-devel-ubuntu20.04 no longer working although it worked months ago. I noticed this error because my CI's cron-run of docker build started to fail recently. So it's certain that the tag existed before.

In fact, the tag 11.0-devel-ubuntu20.04 disappeared from dockerhub https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/nvidia/cuda/tags

My question is, on what condition tag of docker image is deleted? Or, is this nvidia specific issue?

CodePudding user response：

This happens when the repository owner deletes the tag. From the GUI, you can select the tags you want to remove and hit delete. And there's also an API to delete images.

As for why nvidia removed their old tags, it could be that they don't want to support the old images anymore. Or maybe there was a known issue and they are forcing users to upgrade. This is entirely up to them and their own policy.
