This guide will walk you through using ansible to setup a local docker registry using podman
Everything in this guide will use the variable names from the role which you will need to have configured in a previous step.
If you need to override something very specific to the role take a look at the role's README
By default the registry will be created with the following SAN
docker_registry_SAN: 'DNS:{{ ansible_fqdn }},DNS:{{ mirror_registry }},IP:{{ansible_default_ipv4.address}}'
If you want something else in the SAN please override this variable either in the role or in the all.yml file.
- Run the ansible playbook to create the private registry
ansible-playbook registry_server.yaml
- Once the registry has been installed, check that it is running as the user it was installed as by running
podman ps
- In a previous section a pull secret file was downloaded from the Red Hat infrastructure page. We need to add authentication tokens for the private registry to that file so that the file contains authentication tokens for both registries involved in the mirror process. Assuming that file was downloaded to $HOME/pull-secret.txt run the following command. This will prompt for the username and password used when creating the private registry.
podman login --authfile=$HOME/pull-secret.txt < registry hostname : registry port>
