not working with v2-only registry

[greut]

Summary

Using a Nexus registry which doesn't have V1 image, pulling an image fails because it mostly tries to use the v1 (although saying otherwise)

VIC version

v1.5.2

Steps to reproduce

$ docker run my-nexus-repository/foo/bar

is there any action required on this ticket still?

In the meantime, VIC became out of scope for us. That's up to you I'd say.

I've had a similar problem recently. A "normal" docker was able to pull an image, but vic failed. Naturally, I assumed a vic problem but it turned out that it was a problem with our registry. But only with schema v1, not with schema v2. It's really hard to troubleshoot such an issue when vic doesn't work like a "normal" docker, that is using schema v1 instead of v2.

So I'd say yes, there is some action required on this ticket: Make vic use schema version 2.
