Idea #9046

Updated by Tom Morris almost 7 years ago

Goal: system can get Docker images from external registries into Arvados instead of only doing it on the client side.    For example, submitting a container request through Workbench. 

 * Requires a way to submit container requests that are permitted to do Docker operations like "pull" and "save". 
 * To pull from external Docker registry, container cannot be firewalled 
 * Implemented as either alternate mode for crunch-run (pull/save instead of run) with a special format container request (TBD, but potentially command "crunch pull") 

 Rejected implementation alternative: 
 * or alternate task runner (crunch-pull?) with 
 * How to represent request?    Special format container request or add new table for docker image requests?
