Simple OCI Generic Artifact Registry (SOGAR)

SOGAR is a generic implementation of OCI Artifacts in PowerShell and other languages. I have only tested it against Azure Container Registry. You can read more about how ACR supports OCI Artifacts here.

Open a new PowerShell terminal, and import the Sogar PowerShell module:

Import-Module ".\powershell\Sogar\Sogar.psm1"

Start by defining environment variables to point to the your ACR URL, username and password. You also need to specify a cache directory for the registry files.

$Env:SOGAR_REGISTRY_URL="https://myrepo.azurecr.io"
$Env:SOGAR_REGISTRY_USERNAME="myadmin"
$Env:SOGAR_REGISTRY_PASSWORD="solarwinds123"

Push a video file as an OCI artifact:

Export-SogarFileArtifact "videos/demo:latest" ".\VideoDemo1.mp4" -MediaType "video/mp4"

If you don't specify a media type for the file, a default one will be obtained from the file extension.

Pull the same video file again using a different file name:

Import-SogarFileArtifact "videos/demo:latest" ".\VideoDemo2.mp4"

Compare the video files to confirm that they are the same:

PS C:\wayk\dev\oci-packages\packages> Get-FileHash ".\VideoDemo*.mp4"

Congratulations, you have just pushed an artifact to an OCI registry with a name and tag, and then pulled the same artifact from the OCI registry again. You can repeat the process for any kind of file you like!
