How to copy images from GHCR to ACR - azure

Looking for an example in GitHub actions workflow to clone a specifc image name by commit SHA from GHCR (GitHub registry) to ACR (Azure registry) with a need to copy all the tags and labels from the source repository to the target.
At the moment, I'm using Docker pull and push commands, but didn't find a way to fetch all the tags for given image sha from GHCR.
Appreciate your help,
Thanks.

I tried in my environment and got beow results:
To copy Github container registry to azure container registry, You can use the following this command.
Command:
az login
az acr login -n < your acr container registry >
az acr import \
--name <container registry > \
--source <ghcr.io/< username >/image:latest \

Migrating Gitlab Container Registry To Azure Contaner Registry

I am trying to migrate Gitlab-ce Container Registry to Azure Container Registry :
the command im using :
az acr import \
--name acr name\
--source gitlab/repo/repo/tag
--username ****\
--password *****
and it works.
what im trying to do now since there is no direct migration in the internet is to create a script to automate the migration process
my idea is like this :
# Get list of projects,repos and tags
repos = i couldn't find a command to list the repos
for project in project do:
repos = get all repos
for repo in repos do:
tags = get all tags
az acr import \
--name acr name\
--source gitlab/$project/$repo/$tag
--username ****\
--password *****
done
done
The Problem is i couldn't find any command to list project,repos or tags using gitlab command line
is there another way to automate the migration if i couldn't find the commands ??
Please check if below commands can give an idea to work around:
Here we try to use the Azure CLI commands az acr repository list and az acr repository show-tags to include image tags in a loop.
SOURCE_REGISTRY=myregistry
TARGET_REGISTRY=targetregistry
# Get list of source repositories
REPOS = $(az acr repository list \ --name $SOURCE_REGISTRY --output tsv)
# Enumerate tags and import to target registry
for repo in $REPOS; do
TAGS= $(az acr repository show-tags --name $OURCE_REGISTRY --repository $repo --output tsv);
for tag in $TAGS; do
echo "Importing $repo:$tag";
az acr import --name $TARGET_REGISTRY --source $SOURCE_REGISTRY /$repo":"$tag --username <username> --password <password> ;
done
done
also please check the Azure PowerShell equivalents as in Reference: Microsoft Docs and almost similar to Stack Overflow thread

Az acr build command info needed

As per the documentation https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/container-registry-quickstart-task-cli the below command builds and pushes to registry. What if I need only build and then push based on my interest .Because I have to scan image before pushing it.
az acr build --image sample/hello-world:v1
--registry myContainerRegistry008
--file Dockerfile .
Note: There is no docker daemon installed on the system.
As suggested in the Azure Documentation ,You can use --no-push flag in the az acr build command to build the docker file & not to push it to the registry,
Here is the sample output for reference :

Azure container registry repository or image delete giving error while executing using Azure CLI or Command Shell

Getting below error while deleting ACR repository or image.
Command: $ az acr repository delete --name pocacr2021 -repository repoNodeBulletin
Error: The requested data does not exist. Correlation Id:xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx
Error was coming due to passing repository name should be lower case. It won't allow upper or mixed case.
Wrong Command: $ az acr repository delete --name pocacr2021 -repository repoNodeBulletin
Correct Command: $ az acr repository delete --name pocacr2021 -repository reponodebulletin

How can I import a container to ACR and configure it to be a linux platform container?

When building my docker image locally and import it to Azure Container Registry (ACR), the Image platform is Windows. It should be Linux. How can I import my image as a Linux platform?
I am using this command to import the image to my ACR.
az acr import
By using the command az acr import means that you can import an image to an Azure Container Registry from another Container Registry. So you should have container images from a public registry or another Azure container registry, in the same or a different Azure subscription or tenant or from a non-Azure private container registry. Read Import container images to a container registry for more details.
In this case, if you have built the images locally, you can push the images directly to the ACR instead of using import. You can make it as the Tutorial: Create an Azure container registry and push a container image:
log in to your Azure Container Registry instance
az acr login --name <acrName>
tag the image with the full name of the registry's login server.
docker tag <localImage> <acrLoginServer>/<acrRepository>:<tag>
Push image to Azure Container Registry
docker push <acrLoginServer>/<acrRepository>:<tag>
Use the following command to import from another ACR from a different subscription.
az acr import --name <DESTINATION-ACR> --force\
--source <SOURCE-ACR-NAME>/IMAGE-NAME:IMAGE-TAG \
--image IMAGE-NAME:IMAGE-TAG \
--username <USERNAME> \
--password <PASSWORD>

Deploy image from docker hub to AZure

I want to deploy a image from docker hub to Azure Container Instance.How can we do this.Is it mandatory to push the image first to Azure Container Registry?
All solutions I am getting shows that we need to push the image first to Azure Container Registry.
No, you need not push the image to ACR first, just let the image stay in the docker hub. For example, deploy the Nginx docker image to ACI, the Azure CLI command like below:
az container create -g resourceGroup -n aciName --image nginx --ports 80
As the command shows, you can use the docker image. Actually, the docker hub is the default registry. When you use another registry, you need to add the parameters --registry-login-server, --registry-username and --registry-password. For more details, see az container create.
It also shows clearly in the Azure portal, when you create ACI in the portal, you can see it like below:
You can use docker image directly with the container as follows,
az container create --resource-group myResourceGroup --name mycontainer --image docker image url
