Feature Description

Currently the container view shows the image digest,
while most other tools (e.g. docker image list, docker inspect, Portainer)
all show the image id by default and only provide
the digest when specifically asked for.

I think gitea should ideally show both.

But the image id is just the first 12 chars of the image digest.

No its not.
Take for example a look at the gitea image using docker image list --digests --no-trunc gitea/gitea:

REPOSITORY    TAG       DIGEST                                                                    IMAGE ID                                                                  CREATED       SIZE
gitea/gitea   1.21      sha256:daeeb33fb2f90d94876597f3b6c73956687c03250d5e5ca71104fc03b9c626b3   sha256:a09084c8eac7b2f395d1aa362e7792da5f6fade4587d1cb135d3aedf618d390c   3 weeks ago   160MB

The IMAGE ID is the the value thats usually shortened to 12 chars and in the normal list output. Its also the value visible in docker inspect (as Image) and in the container details of tools like portainer.
The DIGEST on the other hand is the hash thats displayed on the gitea details page and briefly shown when doing a docker pull.

I know this is a bit of a nit picky request, but it would be nice if gitea could show the image id in addition to the digest to make it easier to crossreference stuff.

Isn't that just a relic from older docker versions? On my system your command produces identical results:

gitea/gitea

other images on my system

Thats weird.
My I ask, what Docker version you are running ?
I tried a variety (23.x, 24.x) as well as 26.0.0, which according to github is the latest release and I don't have a single image (including a freshly pulled one) where digest and image id match.

25.0.3 amd64 but version 26.0.0 aarch64 on a different system shows different IDs like your output.

I sadly don't have a docker host that runs on 25.x, nor any non amd64 hosts to test it.

Everything fine. https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/blob/main/config.md#imageid specifies what the "image id" is. Don't know why docker shows identical IDs on my system. Gitea currently shows the manifest "id" because only that info is needed to pull an image. Can't currently tell if and when the image id may be added to Gitea. Need more research first.

No problem. Its not urgent, just a little thing I noticed while checking if whats committed to gitea actually made it correctly all the way to production.
