Fix remaining issues on the synchronization of the registry

[mssola]

There are some pending issues from the synchronization of the registry. This issue tries to be an aggregate of old issues.

Crono deletes everything

Some issues pointed out that old crono might remove all the contents. See #663.

Crono is adding & removing images

See issues: #1184, #1261, #1160 and #1232.

Hey mssola, how is this issue going on?

Here at my company I wanted to have a go with Portus and fortunately we are using it for our staging environment only at the moment.

I say fortunately because we are running it directly on an OpenSuse machine and over the weekend Portus deleted all the images, from its DB and from the registry!

I saw that for some people it pushes it again after some time, but on our case it did nothing of the sort.

I'm on Portus 2.2 and registry 2.6.
Should I move for the docker version instead or stop using Portus for now?

Thanks!

That is ... bad 😞 Could you possibly collect the logs, and possibly get into more detail on your deployment strategy. Even if it's a bit old, it might help us to fix this situation.

Well, I'd advise in favor of this solution. Bear in mind that we are in the process of releasing the 2.3 version, so you might want to take a look at this (since moreover it has some deployment changes). Check our examples directory for some production-ready examples (just use opensuse/portus:2.3 instead of opensuse/portus:head, since there are no stability guarantees for 2.3 😉).

I'm using portus:head and registry:2.6 and I'm hitting this issue. Any workaround in the meantime?
What I see in the logs is

background_1  | Net::OpenTimeout: connection timed out.
background_1  | [catalog] Could not fetch manifest for 'redacted/image2' with tag 'latest': Net::OpenTimeout: connection timed out.
background_1  | Net::OpenTimeout: connection timed out.
background_1  | [catalog] Could not fetch manifest for 'redacted/image2' with tag 'latest': Net::OpenTimeout: connection timed out.
background_1  | [catalog] Removed the tag 'latest'.
background_1  | [catalog] Removed the image 'image2'.
background_1  | [catalog] Created the tag 'latest'.

Each of the images is around 650MB and there are just 5 of them (is a recently created registry).

Thanks!

@marc0s see this comment. This might even fix this issue (we'd need to identify some corner cases when enabled, but it should fix the situation for most people).
