Show the date in the tag list

[Clasyc]

It would be great to display the date and time when a tag was created/updated in the tags list.

(it could be located either on 1 or 2 mark)

BTW, really great project, thanks a lot. 💯

Thanks for this very nice feedback 🙇 I like your idea but unfortunately the things I can implement in this application are limited by the API provided by the docker registries.

We have some feature requests as issues also addressing very similar things:

• Show last update time/date for images and tags #291
• add sort by push date #520

At the moment I don't see a way how to archive implementing features like this without a complete change in how the application works - which is not something I plan to do.

Background:

The docker registry API does not include information about the tags in the endpoint listing them. It just returns an array of tag names like ["latest", "v2", "v1", "nightly"]. So I would need to send another API request per tag to fetch the actual details of the tag which would be resulting in a classic N+1 problem.

One of the key decisions when building this application was to build it in a stateless way. There is no need for a database or any background processes which synchronise data with the connected registries - instead each request to the application triggers one request to the registry to fetch the data directly. This keeps the deployment of the application also very simple.
