Now that you are hosting your own registry (… are you?). You probably want to deploy Kubernetes pods from that registry. For this you need two things:

1. Docker registry credentials saved in a Secret
2. imagePullSecrets in deployment pointing to said Secret

First, Create secret:

~$ kubectl create secret docker-registry <SECRET_NAME> --docker-server=<REGISTRY_SERVER>--docker-username=<REGISTRY_USERNAME> --docker-password=<REGISTRY_PASSWORD> --docker-email=<REGISTRY_EMAIL>

Second, Use secret in in deployment. Example:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: l33t
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: l33t
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: l33t
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: <CONTAINER_NAME>
          image: dockerreg.tld/<CONTAINER_NAME>:latest
          imagePullPolicy: Always
          ports:
            - containerPort: 1337
      imagePullSecrets:
        - name: <SECRET_NAME>

And you’re done 🍔
