Add the posibility to access Fedora "legacy" images about lxc-ci HOT 2 CLOSED

The same could potentially apply to other legacy images from other distributions, of course.

from lxc-ci.

It seems unlikely that we would take on something like this ourselves. We're already dealing with a dataset of several hundreds GBs of images and that's just for the actively maintained ones. Adding on legacy images may run some of our GeoIP mirrors out of space which would be a problem.

It would also need us to closely monitor the EOL of every release of every distribution which isn't something I'm that interested in doing personally :)

There's however nothing wrong with someone else doing this themselves and if you're using LXD, you could actually very easily run an internal image server which copies those images you care about daily from our image server. So long as new images are available, you're copying them, once they're no longer available, the copy will fail but you'll be left with the latest version of that image. Your test systems can then always use that system as their image server, saving you bandwidth and giving you more control on the images you're using.
