To elaborate on this, podman allows specifying mirrors, as described in https://github.com/containers/image/blob/main/docs/container...

So the source of the image can be decided on pull. Some more on this https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/manage-container-registries

> So the source of the image can be decided on pull.

It looks like it's ordered by priority.

    unqualified-search-registries = ['registry.fedoraproject.org', 'registry.access.redhat.com', 'registry.centos.org', 'docker.io']

So you get a concatenation of all those registries and transient network failures are going to change the behavior. I'll take a pass on that one.

Huh? If you don't like having back-up registries, just specify one. You can also always use a fully qualified image name if you want to source from a specific registry.
