Overview

Description

On June 30th, 2024, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 will transition from Maintenance Life Cycle 2 phase to Extended Life phase. Software maintenance, new bug fixes and security errata will no longer be provided for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 product family. This includes all RHEL7-based and UBI7-based container images, such as rhel7/rhel, ubi7, ubi7/python-38, etc. The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Extended Lifecycle Support add-on subscription provides Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 customers with access to limited software updates, and, if desired, these updates should be applied to all rhel7-based and ubi7-based container images in use. For a more complete list of affected container images please see the container component list for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 [1] and Red Hat Universal Base Image 7 on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog [2].

Please see the following FAQ for more information about the Extended Life Phase and the Extended Lifecycle Support add-on subscription [3].

The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Base image is designed to be a fully supported foundation for your containerized applications. This base image provides your operations and application teams with the packages, language runtimes and tools necessary to run, maintain, and troubleshoot all of your applications. This image is maintained by Red Hat and updated regularly. It is designed and engineered to be the base layer for all of your containerized applications, middleware and utilities. When used as the source for all of your containers, only one copy will ever be downloaded and cached in your production environment. Use this image just like you would a regular Red Hat Enterprise Linux distribution. Tools like yum, gzip, and bash are provided by default. For further information on how this image was built look at the /root/anacanda-ks.cfg file.

Update to new container registryTo support our existing users and users to come, we will be transitioning our product portfolio and customers to a new container registry. The new registry uses standard OAuth mechanisms to provide customers with the ability to configure their systems to pull containerized content using static tokens or their Red Hat login. Customers are encouraged to begin using the new registry as their preferred authentication method.

Use the following instructions to get images from a Red Hat container registry without providing authentication.

Getting source containers

Source code is available for all Red Hat UBI-based images in the form of downloadable containers. Here are a few things you should know about Red Hat source containers.

Although they are packaged as containers, source containers cannot be run. So instead of using podman pull to get them to your system, use the skopeo command.
Source containers are named based on the binary containers they represent. So, for example, to get the source container for a particular standard RHEL UBI 8 container (registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi8.1-397) you simply append -source to get the source code container for that image (registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi8.1-397-source).
The skopeo command is recommended for getting source containers. With skopeo, you copy a source container to a directory on your local system for you to examine.
Once a source container is copied to a local directory, you can use a combination of tar,gzip, and rpm commands to work with that content.

Step one

Use skopeo to copy the source image to a local directory

Step two
