Root cause: storage.filesystem.maxsize (5GiB) caused Docker Registry to
delete blob data while keeping metadata. Registry then served 200 OK with
correct Content-Length but 0 bytes body. nginx cached these broken responses.
Fixes:
- Remove maxsize from dockerhub/ghcr proxy configs (rely on weekly GC)
- nginx: don't cache 206 responses, require 2 requests before caching
- Wiped corrupted cache on registry VM and fixed corrupted pause container
blobs on node3/node4
Split /v2/ location into two: regex match for blobs (cached 24h, immutable
content-addressed by SHA256) and prefix match for everything else including
manifests (proxy_cache off, mutable tags). Also remove disabled registries
(quay, k8s, kyverno) whose containers/configs don't exist on the VM.
Replace individual `docker run` commands with Docker Compose stack managed
by systemd. Nginx now fronts all 5 registry ports (5000/5010/5020/5030/5040)
with proxy_cache_lock to serialize concurrent blob pulls and prevent
corrupt partial responses. Adds QEMU guest agent for remote management.
