A ten liner for deleting images from a v2 docker registry

I use bash and jq to create that script.

The script

#!/usr/bin/env bash
reg=$1
repo=$2
allTags=$(curl -sSLH 'Accept: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json' http://$reg/v2/$repo/tags/list | jq '.tags' | grep -oP '[^",\[\]\n\s]+')
while read -r tag; do
        echo "The following tags will be removed"
        echo "$tag"
        digest=$(curl -sSL -I -H "Accept: application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v2+json" http://$reg/v2/$repo/manifests/$tag | awk '$1 == "Docker-Content-Digest:" { print $2 }' | tr -d $'\r')
        curl -v -sSL -X DELETE "http://$reg/v2/$repo/manifests/$digest"
done <<< "$allTags"

How to use it
