Retag on image import

[jardon]

Summary

When importing an image archive locally, I cannot retag the image afaik. This requires me to use other tooling to unpack and repack the archive with a new tag in the image metadata. It would be very helpful to be able to override the tags.

Why is this important?

When building rocks with rockcraft, the tooling uses the version field of the rockcraft.yaml to populate the tag. Instead of having to modify the artifact directly, would it be possible to pass a --tag option to microk8s ctr image import? I cannot pass a tag to the basename at this time.

Are you interested in contributing to this feature?

Not at this time.

Hi @jardon

Looks like this functionality is not supported by the ctr command, and there is nothing for us to do from the side of MicroK8s.

However, you might be able to do this in two separate steps:

microk8s ctr image import image.tar
microk8s ctr image convert $oldtag $newtag
