Installation through Docker or Podman latest image fails

[JosephChataignon]

I followed the instructions in the README which redirected to https://quay.io/repository/biocontainers/intarna

There there are commands to download IntaRNA from either Docker or Podman. I tested both and they failed with the same error:

$ sudo docker pull quay.io/biocontainers/intarna
Using default tag: latest
Error response from daemon: manifest for quay.io/biocontainers/intarna:latest not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown
$ podman pull quay.io/biocontainers/intarna
Trying to pull quay.io/biocontainers/intarna:latest...
Error: initializing source docker://quay.io/biocontainers/intarna:latest: reading manifest latest in quay.io/biocontainers/intarna: manifest unknown

However setting a version tag explicitly worked:

$ podman pull quay.io/biocontainers/intarna:3.4.1--pl5321h077b44d_3
Trying to pull quay.io/biocontainers/intarna:3.4.1--pl5321h077b44d_3...

It might be a Quay issue with the default latest tag... If not fixable on your side, write a warning in the readme. I almost gave up after both podman and docker failed.

Hi @JosephChataignon

many thanks for the details and the solution! This seems to be indeed something quay internal. but not sure. maybe they need additional files since we set up the automatic build. will have to have a look at it.

will forward the problem to the bioconda team, since the docker container is part of their build process.

Thanks again!
Best,
Martin

Hi @JosephChataignon

thanks again. This seems to be an issue with the underlying biocontainer pipeline (see answer here).

I have extended the documentation respectively.

best,
Martin
