Runner image missing from n8n's Docker registry?

Questions
1

Problem/error/question description

According to https://github.com/n8n-io/n8n-hosting/tree/main/docker-compose, n8n has it’s own Docker registry at docker.n8n.io.

I can get the “n8n” image fine from there using docker pull docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n:latest, but it looks like the “runners” Docker image does not exists there.

I do know some n8n Docker images exists on hub.docker.com Docker registry:

But as the official documentation uses docker.n8n.io/n8nio/n8n images for Docker installation I think I should use it too.

Error message

When I execute docker pull docker.n8n.io/n8nio/runners:latest
I get:

Error response from daemon: repository docker.n8n.io/n8nio/runners not found: name unknown: repository name not known to registry

Hi,
It works for me using the command like this:

@Nestor, as stated, I know n8nio/runners exists, it’s docker.n8n.io/n8nio/runners I am talking about.

Yes, this is correct,

To reproduce:
Visit: https://docker.n8n.io/v2/n8nio/runners/tags/list :

repository name not known to registry

but https://docker.n8n.io/v2/n8nio/n8n/tags/list returns all tags.

So yeah it’s definitely confusing, not sure if the team did it on purpose, or it just because the runner is still in its early stages..

Do you think it’s worth a GitHub Issue?

For me, of course everything is worth it, even a single letter in the docs!

However, if you’re the type who follows up and really cares, my advice is to completely forget that you reported or submitted anything, You might not get any response for weeks or even months, which is pretty normal, and sometimes you get instant reply here :smiley:

Even though, out of respect, someone should at least reply, they always seem to be busy.

Anyway, this is just my personal experience and definitely not the case for everyone or a general rule..
