Being able to remove (empty) repositories with button

[Yamakasi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to be able to remove an (empty) repository like I can remove an image... I guess the garbage collector would do the rest ?

Describe the solution you'd like
Have a delete button to remove an empty repository

Describe alternatives you've considered
All kinds of scripts to remove empty repositories but I'm not able find any, they still exit (in this UI)

Additional context
I know this has been discussed a lot and it's not directly a docker-registry-ui issue but as there is a button to "delete" images it would be great to have the same for repositories... unless someone knows a way how to remove empty repo's with a script.

Hi there and thank you for using my project.

This is related to the docker registry server, I cannot remove empty images from the ui 😕 see #77

A very ad-hoc way to automate garbage collection by customizing registry image if you are still interested:

Dockerfile:

FROM registry:2

RUN apk --no-cache add findutils && \
    rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*

COPY entrypoint.sh /entrypoint.sh
COPY cleanup.sh /cleanup.sh
RUN chmod +x /*.sh
ENTRYPOINT [ "/entrypoint.sh" ]

entrypoint.sh:

#!/bin/sh

# cleanup: remember to enable init for docker run and docker-compose
(
    while true; do
        sleep 600
        /cleanup.sh
    done
) &

exec registry serve /etc/docker/registry/config.yml

cleanup.sh:

#!/bin/sh

registry garbage-collect /etc/docker/registry/config.yml -m
find /var/lib/registry -empty -type d -delete
for d in /var/lib/registry/docker/registry/v2/repositories/*; do
    echo "Processing $d"
    if [ ! -d $d/_manifests ]; then
        echo "Will delete $d"
        rm -rf $d
    fi
done

#!/bin/sh

registry garbage-collect /etc/docker/registry/config.yml -m
find /var/lib/registry -empty -type d -delete
for d in /var/lib/registry/docker/registry/v2/repositories/*; do
echo "Processing $d"
if [ ! -d $d/_manifests ]; then
echo "Will delete $d"
rm -rf $d
fi
done

Thanks @mrmillers
