docker.io sometimes returns EOF, breaking our builds

Description

We have plenty of situations where docker.io seemingly returns EOF (i.e. nothing) when pulling a base image like debian:stretch. The failure to pull will cause our jenkins job (e.g. a TTCN3 test) to fail, despite no failure on our side.

This has appeared even before docker introduced rate limiting today, so it is unrelated to that.

I tried to use our docker/registry instance at registry.sysmocom.de as a 'pull-throug cache' as documented at https://docs.docker.com/registry/recipes/mirror/

This is broken, it is a known bug in docker since 2016, see https://github.com/docker/distribution/issues/1486 and many other reports like https://www.reddit.com/r/docker/comments/bek6yv/how_do_you_do_registrymirror_with_auth/

So what we are moving towards is a setup where:
  • one jenkins job does a daily pull of all our base images from docker.io, and pushes them to the private registry
  • our jenkins jobs will then always pull directly from that private registry instead of the public one

If the pull from docker.io then fails occasionally, it will fail that re-sync jenkins job, but the (ttcn3 and other) jobs that verify osmocom software will not fail, and simply use the 1..N days old base image.

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/docker-playground/+/21019 prepares our Dockerfiles with a way to override the registry when building images.

Related patches all merged, hopefully those problems are now gone.

I've manually verified that the registry-update-base-images job works, and also executed ttcn3-stp-test once to see if it actually pulls from registry.osmocom.org now.

And of course, on day 1 of this new mechansim, we see:

  • the docker image update job failing:
    [registry-update-base-images] $ /bin/sh -xe /tmp/jenkins5987388568045535390.sh
    + REGISTRY=registry.osmocom.org
    + IMAGES=debian:stretch debian:buster debian:jessie debian:sid ubuntu:zesty centos:centos8
    + src=debian:stretch
    + dst=registry.osmocom.org/debian:stretch
    + echo
    
    + echo ======= debian:stretch
    ======= debian:stretch
    + docker pull debian:stretch
    Error response from daemon: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/library/debian/manifests/stretch: EOF
    Build step 'Execute shell' marked build as failure
    

while all other builds succeed, using base images from registry.osmocom.org.

yay.
