$ oc policy add-role-to-user registry-viewer <user_name>
Use the following sections for instructions on accessing the registry, including viewing logs and metrics, as well as securing and exposing the registry.
You can access the registry directly to invoke podman
commands. This allows
you to push images to or pull them from the integrated registry directly using
operations like podman push
or podman pull
. To do so, you must be logged in
to the registry using the podman login
command. The operations you can perform
depend on your user permissions, as described in the following sections.
You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin
role.
You must have configured an identity provider (IDP).
For pulling images, for example when using the podman pull
command,
the user must have the registry-viewer
role. To add this role, run the following command:
$ oc policy add-role-to-user registry-viewer <user_name>
For writing or pushing images, for example when using the podman push
command:
The user must have the registry-editor
role. To add this role, run the following command:
$ oc policy add-role-to-user registry-editor <user_name>
Your cluster must have an existing project where the images can be pushed to.
You can access the registry from inside the cluster.
Access the registry from the cluster by using internal routes:
Access the node by getting the node’s name:
$ oc get nodes
$ oc debug nodes/<node_name>
To enable access to tools such as oc
and podman
on the node, change your root directory to /host
:
sh-4.2# chroot /host
Log in to the container image registry by using your access token:
sh-4.2# oc login -u kubeadmin -p <password_from_install_log> https://api-int.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>:6443
sh-4.2# podman login -u kubeadmin -p $(oc whoami -t) image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000
You should see a message confirming login, such as:
Login Succeeded!
You can pass any value for the user name; the token contains all necessary information. Passing a user name that contains colons will result in a login failure. Since the Image Registry Operator creates the route, it will likely be similar to
|
Perform podman pull
and podman push
operations against your registry:
You can pull arbitrary images, but if you have the system:registry role added, you can only push images to the registry in your project. |
In the following examples, use:
Component | Value |
---|---|
<registry_ip> |
|
<port> |
|
<project> |
|
<image> |
|
<tag> |
omitted (defaults to |
Pull an arbitrary image:
sh-4.2# podman pull <name.io>/<image>
Tag the new image with the form <registry_ip>:<port>/<project>/<image>
.
The project name must appear in this pull specification for OpenShift Container Platform to
correctly place and later access the image in the registry:
sh-4.2# podman tag <name.io>/<image> image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/openshift/<image>
You must have the |
Push the newly tagged image to your registry:
sh-4.2# podman push image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/openshift/<image>
When pushing images to the internal registry, the repository name must use the |
As a cluster administrator,
you can list the image registry pods running in the openshift-image-registry
project and check their status.
You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin
role.
List the pods in the openshift-image-registry
project and view their status:
$ oc get pods -n openshift-image-registry
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
cluster-image-registry-operator-764bd7f846-qqtpb 1/1 Running 0 78m
image-registry-79fb4469f6-llrln 1/1 Running 0 77m

node-ca-tftj6 1/1 Running 0 77m
node-ca-wb6ht 1/1 Running 0 77m
node-ca-zvt9q 1/1 Running 0 74m
You can view the logs for the registry by using the oc logs
command.
Use the oc logs
command with deployments to view the logs for the container
image registry:
$ oc logs deployments/image-registry -n openshift-image-registry

The OpenShift Container Registry provides an endpoint for Prometheus metrics. Prometheus is a stand-alone, open source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit.
The metrics are exposed at the /extensions/v2/metrics path of the registry endpoint.
You can access the metrics by running a metrics query using a cluster role.
Cluster role
Create a cluster role if you do not already have one to access the metrics:
$ cat <<EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
name: prometheus-scraper
rules:
- apiGroups:
- image.openshift.io
resources:
- registry/metrics
verbs:
- get
EOF
Add this role to a user, run the following command:
$ oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user prometheus-scraper <username>
Metrics query
Get the user token.
openshift:
$ oc whoami -t
Run a metrics query in node or inside a pod, for example:
$ curl --insecure -s -u <user>:<secret> \ (1)
https://image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/extensions/v2/metrics | grep imageregistry | head -n 20

A kubeadmin
can access the registry until deleted. See
Removing the kubeadmin user for
more information.
