About:
Skopeo is a command-line utility for performing operations on container images and image repositories without requiring a full container runtime. It allows users to inspect, copy, sign, and verify images between various registries and storage formats. Its main value is enabling secure and efficient image management directly from registries like Docker Hub, Quay, and private registries.
Key Features:
  • Inspect remote container images without pulling them
  • Copy container images between different storage mechanisms and registries
  • Sign and verify container images using container policy and signatures
  • Work with multiple image formats (e.g., OCI, Docker v2s2)
Use Cases:
  • Auditing and verifying container image metadata and layers before deployment
  • Synchronizing or mirroring images across different container registries
  • Integrating image inspection and transfer into CI/CD pipelines
Alternatives:
  • crane – Crane (from go-containerregistry) is a simpler tool focused on pulling, pushing, and managing images, while Skopeo offers broader features like signing and policy verification.
  • docker – Docker CLI can pull, push, and inspect images but requires a daemon and is less focused on direct, daemon-less registry operations and image verification.
