I have built a 4 node kubernetes cluster running multi-container pods all running on CoreOS. The images come from public and private repositories. Right now I have to log into each node and manually pull down the images each time I update them. I would like be able to pull them automatically.
When I create the pod i get the error message Error:
image <user/image>:latest not found
If I log in and run docker pull it will pull the image. I have tried this using docker.io and quay.io.
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
