'How can I list all tags for a Docker image on a remote registry?
How can I list all tags of a Docker image on a remote Docker registry using the CLI (preferred) or curl?
Preferably without pulling all versions from the remote registry. I just want to list the tags.
Solution 1:[1]

If you want to use the docker registry v2 API, it lists tags by pages. To list all the tags of an image, you may would like to add a large page_size parameter to the url, e.g.
curl -L -s 'https://registry.hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/centos/tags?page_size=1024'|jq '."results"[]["name"]'
Solution 3:[3]
The Docker V2 API requires an OAuth bearer token with the appropriate claims. In my opinion, the official documentation is rather vague on the topic. So that others don't go through the same pain I did, I offer the below docker-tags function.
The most recent version of docker-tags can be found in my GitHubGist : "List Docker Image Tags using bash".
The docker-tags function has a dependency on jq. If you're playing with JSON, you likely already have it.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
docker-tags() {
arr=("$@")
for item in "${arr[@]}";
do
tokenUri="https://auth.docker.io/token"
data=("service=registry.docker.io" "scope=repository:$item:pull")
token="$(curl --silent --get --data-urlencode ${data[0]} --data-urlencode ${data[1]} $tokenUri | jq --raw-output '.token')"
listUri="https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/$item/tags/list"
authz="Authorization: Bearer $token"
result="$(curl --silent --get -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $token" $listUri | jq --raw-output '.')"
echo $result
done
}
Example
docker-tags "microsoft/nanoserver" "microsoft/dotnet" "library/mongo" "library/redis"
Admittedly, docker-tags makes several assumptions. Specifically, the OAuth request parameters are mostly hard coded. A more ambitious implementation would make an unauthenticated request to the registry and derive the OAuth parameters from the unauthenticated response.

If the JSON parsing tool, jq is available
wget -q https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/debian/tags -O - | \
jq -r '.[].name'
Solution 5:[5]
I've managed to get it working using curl:
curl -u <username>:<password> https://myrepo.example/v1/repositories/<username>/<image_name>/tags
Note that image_name should not contain user details etc. For example if you're pushing image named myrepo.example/username/x then image_name should be x.
Solution 6:[6]
You can list all the tags with skopeo and jq for json parsing through cli.
skopeo --override-os linux inspect docker://httpd | jq '.RepoTags'
[
"2-alpine",
"2.2-alpine",
"2.2.29",
"2.2.31-alpine",
"2.2.31",
"2.2.32-alpine",
"2.2.32",
"2.2.34-alpine",
"2.2.34",
"2.2",
"2.4-alpine",
"2.4.10",
"2.4.12",
"2.4.16",
"2.4.17",
"2.4.18",
"2.4.20",
"2.4.23-alpine",

"2.4.35-alpine",
"2.4.35",
"2.4.37-alpine",
"2.4.37",
"2.4.38-alpine",
"2.4.38",
"2.4.39-alpine",
"2.4.39",

"2.4.41",
"2.4.43-alpine",
"2.4.43",
"2.4",
"2",
"alpine",
"latest"
]
For external registries:
skopeo --override-os linux inspect --creds username:password docker://<registry-url>/<repo>/<image> | jq '.RepoTags'
Note: --override-os linux is only needed if you are not running on a linux host. For example, you'll have better results with it if you are on MacOS.

Building on Yan Foto's answer (the v2 api), I created a simple Python script to list the tags for a given image.
Usage:
./docker-registry-list.py alpine
Output:
{
"name": "library/alpine",
"tags": [
"2.6",
"2.7",
"3.1",
"3.2",
"3.3",
"3.4",
"3.5",
"3.6",
"3.7",
"edge",
"latest"
]
}

You can achieve by running on terminal this:
curl -L -s 'https://registry.hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/mysql/tags/' | jq . | grep name
Also, if you don't have jq you have to install it by
sudo apt-get install jq
Solution 9:[9]
See CLI utility: https://www.npmjs.com/package/docker-browse
Allows enumeration of tags and images.
docker-browse tags <image> will list all tags for the image. e.g. docker-browse tags library/alpine
docker-browse images will list all images in the registry. Not currently available for index.docker.io.
You may connect it to any registry, including your private one, so long as it supports Docker Registry HTTP API V2

Here's a Powershell script I wrote for Windows. Handles v1 and v2 repos:
Get-DockerImageVersions.ps1:
param (
[Parameter (Mandatory=$true)]$ImageName,
[Parameter (Mandatory=$false)]$RegistryURL
)
if (!$RegistryURL)
{
$RegistryURL = "https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories"
}
$list = ""
if ($RegistryURL -like "*v2*")
{
$list = "/list"
}
$URL = "$RegistryURL/$ImageName/tags$list"
write-debug $URL
$resp = Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing $URL | ConvertFrom-Json
if ($RegistryURL -like "*v2*")
{
$tags = $resp | select tags
$tags.tags
} else {
$tags = $resp | select name
$tags.name
}
Solution 11:[11]
curl -u <username>:<password> https://$your_registry/v2/$image_name/tags/list -s -o - | \
tr -d '{' | tr -d '}' | sed -e 's/[][]//g' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/ //g' | \
awk -F: '{print $3}' | sed -e 's/,/\n/g'
You can use it if your env has no 'jq', = )

Get all tags from Docker Hub: this command uses the command-line JSON processor jq to select the tag names from the JSON returned by the Docker Hub Registry (the quotes are removed with tr). Replace library with the Docker Hub user name, debian with the image name:
curl -s 'https://registry.hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/debian/tags/' | jq -r '."results"[]["name"]'
Solution 13:[13]
To view all available tags in a browser:
https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/<username>/<image_name>/tags
i.e. https://hub.docker.com/r/localstack/localstack/tags
Or, you can get a json response using this endpoint:
https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/localstack/localstack/tags
Solution 14:[14]
You can use:
skopeo inspect docker://<REMOTE_REGISTRY> --authfile <PULL_SECRET> | jq .RepoTags
Solution 15:[15]
You can also use this scrap :
# vim /usr/sbin/docker-tags
& Append Following (as it is):
#!/bin/bash
im="$1"
[[ -z "$im" ]] && { echo -e '\e[31m[-]\e[39m Where is the image name ??' ; exit ; }
[[ -z "$(echo "$im"| grep -o '/')" ]] && { link="https://hub.docker.com/r/library/$im/tags/" ; } || { link="https://hub.docker.com/r/$im/tags/" ; }
resp="$(curl -sL "$link")"
err="$(echo "$resp" | grep -o 'Page Not Found')"
if [[ ! -z "$err" ]] ; then
echo -e "\e[31m[-]\e[39m No Image Found with name => [ \e[32m$im\e[39m ]"
exit
else
tags="$(echo "$resp"|sed -e 's|}|\n|g' -e 's|{|\n|g'|grep '"result"'|sed -e 's|,|\n|g'|cut -d '[' -f2|cut -d ']' -f1|sed '/"tags":/d'|sed -e 's|"||g')"
echo -e "\e[32m$tags\e[39m"
fi
Make it Executable :
# chmod 755 /usr/sbin/docker-tags
Then Finally Try By :
$ docker-tags testexampleidontexist
[-] No Image Found with name => [ testexampleidontexist ]
$ docker search ubuntu
$ docker-tags teamrock/ubuntu
latest
[ Hope you are aware of $ & # before running any command ]

If folks want to read tags from the RedHat registry at https://registry.redhat.io/v2 then the steps are:
# example nodejs-12 image
IMAGE_STREAM=nodejs-12
REDHAT_REGISTRY_API="https://registry.redhat.io/v2/rhel8/$IMAGE_STREAM"
# Get an oAuth token based on a service account username and password https://access.redhat.com/articles/3560571
TOKEN=$(curl --silent -u "$REGISTRY_USER":"$REGISTRY_PASSWORD" "https://sso.redhat.com/auth/realms/rhcc/protocol/redhat-docker-v2/auth?service=docker-registry&client_id=curl&scope=repository:rhel:pull" | jq --raw-output '.token')
# Grab the tags
wget -q --header="Accept: application/json" --header="Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -O - "$REDHAT_REGISTRY_API/tags/list" | jq -r '."tags"[]'
If you want to compare what you have in your local openshift registry against what is in the upstream registry.redhat.com then here is a complete script.

The Docker Registry API has an endpoint to list all tags.
Looks like Tutum has a similar endpoint, as well as a way to access via tutum-cli.
With the tutum-cli, try the following:
tutum tag list <uuid>

In powershell 5.1, I have a simple list_docker_image_tags.ps1 script like this:
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory = $true)]
[string]
$image
)
$url = "https://registry.hub.docker.com/v1/repositories/{0}/tags" -f $image
Invoke-WebRequest $url | ConvertFrom-Json | Write-Output
Then I can grep for 4.7 tags like this:
./list_docker_image_tags.ps1 microsoft/dotnet-framework | ?{ $_.name -match "4.7" }

Here's an answer that's applicable for v2 of the registry.
If you have jq and curl installed on your machine:
curl https://registry.hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/$REPOSITORY/tags?page_size=10000 | jq '.results[] | { name: .name, architectures: ([ (.images[] | if .variant? then .os + "/" + .architecture + .variant? else .os + "/" + .architecture end) ] | join(", ")) }'
For instance, running this command for the curlimages/curl repository yields:
{
"name": "latest",
"architectures": "linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/arm64, linux/386, linux/armv7, linux/amd64"
}
{

Edit: In answer to the question:
How can I list all tags of a Docker image on a remote Docker registry using the CLI (preferred) or curl?
Preferably without pulling all versions from the remote registry. I just want to list the tags.
To get all the tags for an image you can use "curl" to get the specific image you want and pipe the output into "jq" to extract the information.
curl -L -s 'https://registry.hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/python/tags?page_size=1024'|jq '.results[]["name"]'
Output (truncated not the full list):
"3.9-windowsservercore"
"alpine3.14"
"alpine3.13"
"alpine"
"3.9.8-alpine3.14"
"3.9.8-alpine3.13"
"3.9.8-alpine"
Further should you need additional information from the registry you can access additional field information like this.
This command will give you both the tags and the size of the image which might be useful to have too.
curl -L -s 'https://registry.hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/library/python/tags?page_size=1024'|jq '.results[] as $results | ($results["name"] + " - " + ($results["full_size"] | tostring))'
Output (truncated not the full list):
"3.9-windowsservercore - 2241040278"
"alpine3.14 - 17565702"
"alpine3.13 - 17556181"
"alpine - 17565702"
"3.9.8-alpine3.14 -17362557"
"3.9.8-alpine3.13 - 17353629"
"3.9.8-alpine - 17362557"

I have done this thing when I have to implement a task in which if user somehow type the wrong tag then we have to give the list of all the tag present in the repo(Docker repo) present in the register. So I have code in batch Script.
<html>
<pre style="background-color:#bcbbbb;">
@echo off
docker login --username=xxxx --password=xxxx
docker pull %1:%2
IF NOT %ERRORLEVEL%==0 (
echo "Specified Version is Not Found "
echo "Available Version for this image is :"
for /f %%i in (' curl -s -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST -d "{\"username\":\"user\",\"password\":\"password\"}" https://hub.docker.com/v2/users/login ^|jq -r .token ') do set TOKEN=%%i
curl -sH "Authorization: JWT %TOKEN%" "https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/%1/tags/" | jq .results[].name
)
</pre>
</html>
So in this we can give arguments to out batch file like:
Dockerfile java version7

Building on @AlexForbes's answer I've improved the api v2 docker-registry-list.py to support:
– slashes in the repository name (eg curlimages/curl) and
– private repos (authentication by username and password)
https://github.com/axil/docker-registry-list
Usage:
./docker-registry-list.py -u dockerid -p password dockerid/myrepo
Output:
{
"name": "dockerid/myrepo",
"tags": [
"1.0"
]
}
