Hi,
how can I find it back
openshift/origin-control-plane
Have you tried to ask a friend who knows nothing about your issue whether they understand your question or not? I would be surprised if anyone understood it. Please, share the context, error messages (if there is more) and what you already tried.
EDIT:
Okay, I clicked the link. IāM still guessing but at least it seems to be a pretty good guess that you used an image before and now you canāt find it. You will need to contact the maintainer or search for documentations mentioning renaming the image. You can browse all of their images as well:
OK, I will try it out, Thank you
The issue that I have run into is that the openshift/origin-control-plane is not available in docker hub. It throws an error during a docker pull and when I login to the docker hub and look for that image I get a 404 when I try to launch the page. How do I reach out to see if that can be shared again? It looks to have been updated 10 days ago and I would bet something did not upload as expected. There are a few other images that behave the same way. Docker. This is a link specific to the image that is not working.
I canāt tell you more than I told @desjoyce. You need to contact the maintainer or look for clues in their documentation. If you know where the sourcecode is on GitHub, you can send a bugreport there.
I am not sure how to reach out to them or I would have done that already. I did not see a means to contact the maintainer.
Indeed, there is no direct way from Docker Hub unless the maintainer shares contact information in other repositories. In this case since we know that the Docker hub repository owner is OpenShift, checking their other repositories like https://hub.docker.com/r/openshift/origin-base can give you some clues like the end of the description, however that is about security issues:
Security Response
If youāve found a security issue that youād like to disclose confidentially please contact Red Hatās Product Security team. Details at Security contacts and procedures - Red Hat Customer Portal
It also shows that the maintainer is Red Hat, so either checking the website of OpenShift or Red Hat can give you more ideas how to contact them. The URl of the openshift website is on the owenerās profile page which I shared in my first reply, but Iām pretty sure you already knew that siteā¦
You also know that the product is OpenShift Origin. You can find the origin repo on github by searching for openshift origin source code on Google: https://github.com/openshift/origin. Now you can see that the last release was in 2018. The reason is that it was renamed to okd and if you try to visit openshift.org, it will take you to okd.io.
Now knowing all this can give us an idea why the old openshift origin control plane image canāt be found on Docker Hub. They probably removed those and you should switch to the new version.
So they shared their images on Docker Hub, but it was an old community version of OpenShift which they removed 5 years aftet the last release.
Usually we start from a documentation and follow the development and releases of a product and just use the images which we can find in the documentation. Since I donāt use Openshift, I havenāt followed it so I did what I could to help you, but I canāt give you a better answer. If you still want to contact Red Hat, you can try, but the answer will probably be that they donāt suport that image anymore.

Thanks so much for the reply and the information. The biggest reason that I am determined to make this work is that it has such a smaller footprint in terms of hardware. I have looked at other options that are built from the OKD version. They will stand up but even the build that has one node in the cluster is tied to a short time license. I am looking for a home lab installation that has a smaller footprint. I actually had one machine running OpenShift Origin but something was updated and it will not longer allow the cluster to come online. Several of the images were put on Docker hub several years ago and are possibly older but it seems that the ones that are not available have placeholders that say the the items were updated roughly 10 days ago. It seems that if they were trying to force everyone to a new version they would simply remove the items from Docker Hub. I am hopeful that the upload just did not go as planned and that someone will update the hub with the correct image files. I again thank you for all the information and maybe I will try reaching out to the Red Hat OpenShift group to see. It seems like everyone that has build the same thing I have built are using those images.
If the product itself is EOL/unmaintained and does not receive any security fixes, it wouldnāt make sense to maintain an image for it.
Personally, I appreciate maintainers that remove artifacts with critical and high vulnerabilities. Regardless whether they are container images, or pypi, npm or maven packages.
Do you really need OpenShift or you just used it because it had a GUI and it was easy to install? If you just need Kubernetes, there are other alternetives even with GUI. For example Rancher, but that is just one I used years ago. They created K3s (and RKE) which I want to talk about in my āBuild your own a home labā video series, but I donāt have time recently.
In a home lab, I try to use tools that require less resources. When I first wanted to know (not for a home lab) how much resources Kubernetes required, I found OpenShiftās requirement page and it required more than other distributions. Which was not surprising, but I didnāt need all the features of OpenShift.
maybe you can join here

Thank you for sharing the link! jupierceās comment is interesting.

Hi all. Docker is looking into the disappearance of these repositories for us.
But the rest of what he wrote confirms what we suspected.

Please let me know what you are using this distribution channel for. To the best of my knowledge, this is not an official channel for any content and no image in docker
openshift/*has received security patches in a very long time. OpenShift v3.11 is end-of-life.
Public OKD images from quay.io are a viable alternative (but any EOL release, like v3.11, should be assumed to be vulnerable to known CVEs).
