registry-mirrors not affecting docker-compose

[shanjb0221]

Issue Description

For unfortunate reasons, DockerHub is currently unable to connect directly in Chinese Mainland. So I set up a registry mirror and configure podman to use the mirror.

My /etc/containers/registries.conf file is similar with this:
(private mirror url replaced with public alternative)

unqualified-search-registries = ["docker.io"]

[[registry]]
prefix = "docker.io"
location = "docker.io"

[[registry.mirror]]
location = "dockerproxy.cn"

After this, podman pull can properly connect to the registry mirror and fetch images. But podman compose pull, which launches docker-compose, does not work. Error message:

$ podman compose pull --dry-run
[+] Pulling 2/2
 ✘ DRY-RUN MODE -  docker-gen  - Pull error for image: nginxproxy/docker-gen                                                                                    0.2s

Error: executing /usr/local/bin/docker-compose pull --dry-run: exit status 18

It seems that docker-compose never know about the registry mirror set in /etc/containers/registries.conf and (tell podman to or itself?) connect to DockerHub directly.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Install latest podman, podman-docker.
2. Configure registry mirror for podman. Add

   unqualified-search-registries = ["docker.io"]
   
   [[registry]]
   prefix = "docker.io"
   location = "docker.io"
   
   [[registry.mirror]]
   location = "dockerproxy.cn"

   to /etc/containers/registries.conf.
3. Run podman --log-level=debug pull nginx:alpine to check podman can pull image from the mirror.
4. Create a simple compose file, maybe:

   services:
     nginx:
       image: nginx:alpine
       restart: unless-stopped

   as docker-compose.yml.
5. Run podman compose pull, which could not work and reproduces the issue.

Describe the results you received

Describe the results you received

podman compose pull (docker-compose) does not use podman registry mirrors.

Describe the results you expected

Describe the results you expected

podman compose pull (docker-compose) should use registry mirrors, alike podman pull does.

Go with a couple of simple questions first?

1. You did remember to restart the podman service to pick up the changes in the registries.conf file.
2. Does podman pull alpine work?
3. Does podman --remote pull nginx work?

Yes, I have run sudo service podman restart.

2. Does podman pull alpine work?

Yes.

3. Does podman --remote pull nginx work?

No, running this as unprivileged user will use the origin registry (registry-1.docker.io) and fail.

By the way, I just tried running this as root, it works.

Does docker-compose pull work in the same way as podman --remote pull? If so, how can I configure mirror for unprivileged --remote pull?

[rhatdan]

Yes podman --remote pull and docker-compose both use the podman socket.

Rootless mode is not using the rootful podman socket.
$ systemctl --user restart podman.service

To restart it.

I'm using Alpine Linux, so there's no systemd.

I found podman.<user> service in /etc/init.d. After restarting it, everything works fine! 🥰

Thanks for your kindly help!
