Products

• VMware Tanzu Build Service

Issue/Introduction

The issue occurs when installing Tanzu Build Service v1.13 using a profile and installing the Full Dependencies Package repository.

The user faces the below error when attempting to relocate the image per the docs using the command: 'imgpkg copy'

# Command Example (as per the docs mentioned above):

imgpkg copy \
  -b registry.tanzu.vmware.com/tanzu-application-platform/full-deps-package-repo:VERSION \
  --to-repo ${INSTALL_REGISTRY_HOSTNAME}/full-deps-package-repo

-------------------------------------------------------

# Error Output:

imgpkg: ErIor: Fetching image:
GET https://tanzu-build.packages.broadcom.com/v2/tanzu-application-platform/full-deps-package-repo/manifests/1.13.0:
MANIFEST_ UNKNOWN: The named manifest is not known to the registry.; map[manifest:tanzu-application-platform/full-deps-package-repo/1.13.0/manifest.json]

 

Cause

The documentation needs updating to reflect the new/current location.  The full dependencies package repo location has changed.  The current location can be found at:

`tanzu.packages.broadcom.com/tanzu-application-platform/full-deps-package-repo:{TAP_VERSION}`

Resolution

• Change/edit the repo location in the command, as shown below:

 

# From: 
imgpkg copy \
  -b registry.tanzu.vmware.com/tanzu-application-platform/full-deps-package-repo:VERSION \
  --to-repo ${INSTALL_REGISTRY_HOSTNAME}/full-deps-package-repo

# To:
imgpkg copy \  
-b tanzu.packages.broadcom.com/tanzu-application-platform/full-deps-package-repo:{TAP_VERSION} \  
--to-repo ${INSTALL_REGISTRY_HOSTNAME}/${TARGET-REPOSITORY}/full-deps-package-repo

 

• VMware by Broadcom documentation team is aware of said locations changes and will be updating the docs accordingly.

Additional Information

• Tanzu Build Service (TBS) is only supported if it's installed via TAP.
• If installing via kapp controller, the repo location is:

`tanzu-build.packages.broadcom.com/build-service/package-repo:$TBS_VERSION`

• The officially supported standalone release goes up to v1.13.x. (v1.15.x was accidentally released to the standalone repo) 
  

• The rule of thumb is:

  • 'tanzu-build.packages.broadcom.com' is for tbs standalone, TBS dependencies updater, Tanzu buildpacks & stacks

  • 'tanzu.packages.broadcom.com' is for TAP, and TBS full dependencies.

  • To find the available images for the entire registry, run command: 'crane catalog tanzu-build.packages.broadcom.com'
