Pushed images do not appear in Harbor Web UI or API #22641
Description
Description
I am experiencing an issue where I can push Docker images to Harbor successfully, but the images do not appear in the Web UI or via the API. However, pulling the images from another machine works correctly.
Steps to Reproduce
- Configure Harbor with external Nginx reverse proxy.
- Push an image to a new project:
my bash
chensiyu@homeappserver:~$ docker push harbor.fenderjpmg70mt.top/library/prom/node-exporter
Using default tag: latest
The push refers to repository [harbor.fenderjpmg70mt.top/library/prom/node-exporter]

Check the Web UI for the project → image not listed.
Query the API:

Pull the image from another machine → works fine.
