So following this forum’s post (How to flatten an image with 127 parents - #4 by rufus), i was able to successfully flatten a 39GB image that has been worked on over 4 months, into a 12GB image; and successfully exported / imported the docker image. I am receiving an error of 127 layer limit, and must reduce the docker image arcolombo/artemis:v156
I am receiving similar errors to
https://github.com/docker/distribution/issues/413
for the docker registry, I do not have a custom registry but am just pushing to Docker hub. i’m not sure how to display this information.
Nb. I am able to docker run the unlayered/flattened import of the container. the import does work. I am just now trying to push the flattened container to the docker hub. and this is when I produce the error
ramsingh@ramsingh-iMac:/data$ sudo docker push arcolombo/artemisunlayer:v2
The push refers to a repository [arcolombo/artemisunlayer] (len: 1)
2b3ff30d9f78: Image already exists
8399b157cbee: Image successfully pushed
c1ae5b75d6b2: Image push failed
FATA[2418] Error pushing to registry: Server error: 500 trying to push arcolombo/artemisunlayer blob - sha256:11b33657d0a1478092f60e6bd8dd33e91ab95e7783f62044ccee0f0c353b6031
so here are my images, arcolombo/artemis has been pushed successfully, when I exported the container, and saved it as a .tar file, I then imported into arcolombo/artemisunlayer:v2 to remove the history and flatten the image, thus reducing the size
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED VIRTUAL SIZE

Thank you very much.
Should I open a bug?
