Use an Image from the Local Docker Registry in a Container Spec

When creating a pod spec or a deployment spec that uses an image from the local docker registry, you must use the full image name, including the registry, and specify an imagePullSecret with your keystone credentials.

About this task

This example procedure assumes that testuser/busybox:latest container image has been pushed to the local docker registry.

Procedure

1. Create a secret with credentials for the local docker registry.

   % kubectl create secret docker-registry testuser-registry-secret --docker-server=registry.local:9001 --docker-username=testuser --docker-password=<testuserPassword> --docker-email=noreply@windriver.com
   

2. Create a configuration for the busybox container.

   % cat <<EOF > busybox.yaml
   apiVersion: apps/v1
   kind: Deployment
   metadata:
     name: busybox
     namespace: default
   spec:
     progressDeadlineSeconds: 600
     replicas: 1
     selector:
       matchLabels:
         run: busybox
     template:
       metadata:
         labels:
           run: busybox
       spec:
         containers:
         - args:
           - sh
           image: registry.local:9001/testuser/busybox:latest
           imagePullPolicy: Always
           name: busybox
           stdin: true
           tty: true
         restartPolicy: Always
         imagePullSecrets:
         - name: testuser-registry-secret
   EOF
   

3. Apply the configuration created in the busybox.yaml file.

   % kubectl apply -f busybox.yaml
   

   This will launch the busybox deployment using the image in the local docker registry and specifying the testuser-registry-secret for authentication and authorization with the registry.
