Remove a signer from a repo

To remove an existing signer, alice, from this repository:

$ docker trust inspect --pretty example/trust-demo

No signatures for example/trust-demo


List of signers and their keys:

SIGNER              KEYS
alice               05e87edcaecb
bob                 5600f5ab76a2

Administrative keys for example/trust-demo:

Remove alice with docker trust signer remove:

$ docker trust signer remove alice example/trust-demo

Removing signer "alice" from image example/trust-demo...
Enter passphrase for repository key with ID 642692c:

docker trust inspect --pretty now does not list alice as a valid signer:

$ docker trust inspect --pretty example/trust-demo

No signatures for example/trust-demo

Remove alice from both images with a single docker trust signer remove command:

$ docker trust signer remove alice example/trust-demo example/trust-demo2

Removing signer "alice" from image example/trust-demo...
Enter passphrase for repository key with ID 95b9e55:
Successfully removed alice from example/trust-demo

Removing signer "alice" from image example/trust-demo2...
Enter passphrase for repository key with ID ece554f:
Successfully removed alice from example/trust-demo2

Run docker trust inspect --pretty to confirm that alice is no longer listed as a valid signer of either example/trust-demo or example/trust-demo2:

$ docker trust inspect --pretty example/trust-demo

docker trust signer remove removes signers to repositories on a best effort basis, so it will continue to remove the signer from subsequent repositories if one attempt fails:

$ docker trust signer remove alice example/unauthorized example/authorized

Removing signer "alice" from image example/unauthorized...
No signer alice for image example/unauthorized

Removing signer "alice" from image example/authorized...
Enter passphrase for repository key with ID c6772a0:
Successfully removed alice from example/authorized

Error removing signer from: example/unauthorized
