[HTCondor-users] Docker Universe V24 Changes.

[Dudu Handelman <duduhandelman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I’m testing a migration from 23.x to 24 and noticed a change in the Docker universe.

Background

• We use a private, read-only Docker registry served by multiple mirrors.
• Image pulls go through our custom pre-script, which handles authentication and load balancing across those mirrors.

In v24, I see a condor pull -q {imageName} step (apparently to verify the image exists). In our setup, this fails because it doesn’t authenticate to the registry, and the job is then held. I haven’t found a knob to disable this pre-check; ideally it would respect docker_pull_policy.

Is there a setting or another way to disable this verification step—without adding a wrapper?

Thanks,
David
