imagePushToRegistry

Allows you to copy a Docker image from a source container registry to a destination container registry.

Description

In case you want to pull an existing image from a remote container registry, a source image and source registry needs to be specified.
This makes it possible to move an image from one registry to another.

The imagePushToRegistry is not similar in functionality to containerPushToRegistry (which is currently a groovy based step and only be used in jenkins). Currently the imagePushToRegistry only supports copying a local image or image from source remote registry to destination registry.

Usage

We recommend to define values of step parameters via .pipeline/config.yml file.
In this case, calling the step is essentially reduced to defining the step name.
Calling the step can be done either in an orchestrator specific way (e.g. via a Jenkins library step) or on the command line.

library('piper-lib-os')
