The Docker-compatible REST API has historically behaved just as the rest of Podman and Buildah (and the atomic Docker in older RHEL/Fedora) where `containers-registries.conf` is centrally controlling which registries a short name may resolve to during pull or local image lookups. Please refer to a blog for more details [1]. Docker, however, is only resolving short names to docker.io which has been reported (see #12320) to break certain clients who rely on this behavior. In order to support this scenario, `containers.conf(5)` received a new option to control whether Podman's compat API resolves to docker.io only or behaves as before. Most endpoints allow for directly normalizing parameters that represent an image. If set in containers.conf, Podman will then normalize the references directly to docker.io. The build endpoint is an outlier since images are also referenced in Dockerfiles. The Buildah API, however, supports specifying a custom `types.SystemContext` in which we can set a field that enforces short-name resolution to docker.io in `c/image/pkg/shortnames`. Notice that this a "hybrid" approach of doing the normalization directly in the compat endpoints *and* in `pkg/shortnames` by passing a system context. Doing such a hybrid approach is neccessary since the compat and the libpod endpoints share the same `libimage.Runtime` which makes a global enforcement via the `libimage.Runtime.systemContext` impossible. Having two separate runtimes for the compat and the libpod endpoints seems risky and not generally applicable to all endpoints.
