Custom Images - How to list personal Custom images

[DoctorD90]

With the following python3 code is possible to list "all custom images" available, but not personal custom images, for example created from an Object Storage. How should we do to retrieve personal Custom Images?

Below there is the configuration/code.

> pip3 show oci
Name: oci
Version: 2.171.0
Summary: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Python SDK
Home-page: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/tools/python/latest/index.html
Author: Oracle
Author-email: joe.levy@oracle.com
License: Universal Permissive License 1.0 or Apache License 2.0
Requires: certifi, circuitbreaker, cryptography, pyOpenSSL, python-dateutil, pytz, urllib3

> python3 --version
Python 3.11.2

This is my python3 code:

import oci

oci_config_file="./oci_config"
the_profile_name=oci.config.DEFAULT_PROFILE or "DEFAULT"

the_namespace="MyNamespace"
bucket_name="MyBucket"
object_name="debian-13-genericcloud-amd64-20260413-2447.qcow2"

config = oci.config.from_file(file_location=oci_config_file, profile_name=the_profile_name)
compute_client = oci.core.ComputeClient(config)

# https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/api/#/en/iaas/20160918/Image/ListImages
list_images_response = compute_client.list_images(
    compartment_id=config['tenancy'],
    sort_by="TIMECREATED",
    sort_order="DESC"
)

sorted_images = sorted(
    list_images_response.data, 
    key=lambda img: (img.operating_system, img.operating_system_version, img.display_name)
)
for img in sorted_images:
    print(f"{img.operating_system} - {img.display_name}")
    # print(img)

But I only get "official" custom images, not MY OWN custom images:

Hello @DoctorD90!
ListImages returns platform images plus custom images in the specific compartment you pass. Do you know in what compartment your custom image exists? It could be different from the root compartment (you are using compartment_id=config['tenancy']). Can you instead provide the compartment ocid in which the image is present?
