 chainctl images catalog List the Chainguard Images catalog.
Synopsis List the Chainguard Images catalog.
Shows every image Chainguard publishes, along with the upstream images each one replaces. This is the full catalog, not the images your organization is entitled to pull: use ‘chainctl images repos list’ for that.
–name matches any image whose name contains the given text, so –name jdk finds both “jdk” and “adoptium-jdk”.
In a terminal the catalog is shown a page at a time and –limit sets the page size, so the whole catalog stays reachable. When the output is piped or JSON, –limit is the maximum number of images returned.
