Pulling images from private registry in Kubernetes
To add to what @rob said, as of docker 1.7, the use of .dockercfg has been deprecated and they now use a ~/.docker/config.json file. There is support for this type of secret in kube 1.1, but you must create it using different keys/type configuration in the yaml:
First, base64 encode your ~/.docker/config.json
:
cat ~/.docker/config.json | base64 -w0
Note that the base64 encoding should appear on a single line so with -w0 we disable the wrapping.
Next, create a yaml file:
my-secret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: registrypullsecret
data:
.dockerconfigjson: <base-64-encoded-json-here>
type: kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson
-
$ kubectl create -f my-secret.yaml && kubectl get secrets
NAME TYPE DATA
default-token-olob7 kubernetes.io/service-account-token 2
registrypullsecret kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson 1
Then, in your pod's yaml you need to reference registrypullsecret
or create a replication controller:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: my-private-pod
spec:
containers:
- name: private
image: yourusername/privateimage:version
imagePullSecrets:
- name: registrypullsecret
I can confirm that imagePullSecrets not working with deployment, but you can
kubectl create secret docker-registry myregistrykey --docker-server=DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER --docker-username=DOCKER_USER --docker-password=DOCKER_PASSWORD --docker-email=DOCKER_EMAIL
kubectl edit serviceaccounts default
Add
imagePullSecrets:
- name: myregistrykey
To the end after Secrets
, save and exit.
And its works. Tested with Kubernetes 1.6.7
Kubernetes supports a special type of secret that you can create that will be used to fetch images for your pods. More details here.
If you need to pull an image from a private Docker Hub repository, you can use the following.
Create your secret key
kubectl create secret docker-registry myregistrykey --docker-server=DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER --docker-username=DOCKER_USER --docker-password=DOCKER_PASSWORD --docker-email=DOCKER_EMAIL
secret "myregistrykey" created.
Then add the newly created key to your Kubernetes service account.
Retrieve the current service account
kubectl get serviceaccounts default -o yaml > ./sa.yaml
Edit sa.yaml and add the ImagePullSecret after Secrets
imagePullSecrets:
- name: myregistrykey
Update the service account
kubectl replace serviceaccount default -f ./sa.yaml
