Ken, et al.,
I believe you can build your own and publish it to Dockerhub - unless their
policies have changed.
It's been 4 years since I retired and worked with Docker containers, so I
haven't touched Docker since as I no longer have access to my linux systems.
But I created the first "generic" SL6 container for Dockerhub and published it
there myself. It's a basic SL6.8 build, whereas all of the other SL6 containers
on Dockerhub at the time were very specialized builds. I believe Lynn Garren at
Fermilab was using it as well. I built mine for use on Cray supercomputer
platforms to run ATLAS experiment jobs. It's basically a clone I built of one
of my interactive login nodes of my Tier3 cluster.
It might still be there at lnelson/test:v4. Dunno how long they keep old
containers. But, of course, it's woefully out of date now and hasn't been
updated with patches.
Seems the best course of action would be to build an SL6 system just the way you
want it with all the legacy apps you need and then clone it with Docker and
publish it to Dockerhub. I think (but not sure) you can restrict access to it
after publishing to Dockerhub.

Thanks.
I'm trying to preserve a legacy application inside an SL6 container so some of
our staff (mostly emeriti) can continue to use it after the November deadline
on an SL7 or CentOS8 machine. There may be more apps that I am unaware of.
That's why I asked. If you plan to remove the sl6 base image from docker, then
I need to preserve a copy somehow or learn to build one from scratch using an
archive sl6 repo, or maybe even preserve a full sl6 repo myself.
If it's not too much trouble, please consider keeping the sl6 image around
after the November deadline. Perhaps make a final version that binds the yum
repos in the container to the archive locations.
If this is out of the question, please be frank and say so up front. Then, I
will know what I need to do to set up what I need to possibly build other sl6
containers after the November deadline.
Any comments or words of advice are appreciated so I know what I'm up against.
Thanks for all your efforts in maintaining SL. It was a great run. I've been
using you guys since SL4, late 90s(?).

The plan is to retire the SL6 docker image once SL6 is end of life.
With no one watching the security updates and the repos moved over to
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__ftp.scientificlinux.org_linux_scientific_obsolete_&d=DwIFAg&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=nUZRUt1gyxPgDV7sDwWxXa2pENV3t5evyd7h_-NCsNo&s=syIsWiUN08di1rc2oDjVops0ilfFc6Jn3FTHMi96ae4&e=
I'm not sure
the image would have any useful function.

After this November's end of life for SL6, will you continue to make
the sl6 image available on docker hub?

Thanks. I've pulled it (I think).

Hello,
We've got official images in Docker Hub[1]

Getting my feet wet with containers. Does SL have its own registry
of SL6 and 7 container images? If not, can someone recommend a
reliable image?
Thanks
