Azure container registry is not storing tagged images

Question

I am having big problems trying to push tagged images to the Azure Container Registry.

The repository gets created, and manifests uploaded but no tagged image exists.

I have tried pushing existing images to Azure CR from Github Actions, all succeeds but only manifests exist, not tags.

I have tried manual docker commands, docker buildx, docker build actions. None work.

So I followed the article below exactly and that doesnt work either. No tagged images in azure and i cant pull or run it as it says image not found:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/container-registry-quickstart-task-cli#build-and-push-image-from-a-dockerfile

Is this just totally broken or something? What am I doing wrong here?

Issue: Azure container registry is not storing tagged images

Solution:

Dan Petitt has confirmed the below solution fixed problem

I followed exactly the steps in the tutorial and it did not work.

That includes building and tagging, following the instructions and then pushing.

I tried docker commands, acr commands.

However, I eventually found the issue; it was being "Quarantined". This only came to light after eventually trying many different things like trying to get the manifest and finally got a response message saying it was being quarantined; this is not clear there is nothing on the Azure UI to turn this on or off, nor see what is being quarantined ... very poor.

Anyway, I ran the modify policy command line and then any new images suddenly appeared: https://github.com/Azure/acr/blob/main/docs/preview/quarantine/readme.md#configure-quarantine-on-a-registry

Hello Dan Petitt,

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A and thank you for posting your questions here.

I understand that you are having an issue where your images are being uploaded to Azure Container Registry (ACR) but are not properly tagged, resulting in the manifests being present but no tagged images available.

First things you will need to do is to verify the tagging and naming using Azure CLI. After you provide your login details try this command:

docker tag my-image:latest <your-acr-name>.azurecr.io/my-repo:my-tag

This will help to know that the image you are building is properly tagged before pushing it to ACR.

Secondly, you will try to manually push images to Azure Container Registry (ACR) using the Azure CLI. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/container-registry-quickstart-task-cli#build-and-push-image-from-a-dockerfile After pushing, manually check the ACR using Azure CLI or the Azure Portal:

az acr repository show --name <your-acr-name> --repository my-repo
az acr repository show-tags --name <your-acr-name> --repository my-repo
