Proposal feat(controller): allow deis pull from deis-registry

[deis-admin]

Something like

deis pull —from-internal-registry application-a:version -a application-b

to allow the deploy in application-b from application-a without using internal ip addresses

This could also be a use case for deis push, and we would rather add new functionality to that than on top of deis pull I think.

This s really a needed feature.
Thanks for the work

Can I Pull (and Push ) from the deis-registry from a coreos node in the cluster ?
Also if i do deis pull example.com:5000/image:v2 -a app
Is this good practice as against using the Internal Ip of the registry

@babarinde the idea of this proposal is to avoid the search of the ip inside the cluster where the registry is running.

yes, just use the ip inside the cluster docker pull <ip>:5000/app:vXX

Also if i do deis pull example.com:5000/image:v2 -a app

that's the idea of deis pull :) (http://deis.io/demo-deis-pull-in-action/)

I don't know if is a "good practice" but for me solves a huge problem (have 1 app as "template" and N "copies", is useful to pull from the cluster without any external connection)

How does deis resolve example.com:5000 to the internal IP of the registry when the registry is not scaled to 3?

If you do not specify a full hostname:port deis pull will use the public docker registry to retrieve the image. Remember that this is a proposal to change that behavior.

Now how deis resolve the registry if there's more than one is the easy part :)
check with etcdctl ls --recursive /deis/registry the key /deis/registry/host contains the registry that is acting as "master" (you can have multiple registries in the cluster but only one is used to pull/push)
