Puppet Docker Configure Authentication to a private repository

Question

Can somebody help me with the process required for authenticating a private registry? Also how can I pull an image from the docker store?

Answer 1

• When a server is not specified, images are pushed and pulled from index.docker.io. 

• To qualify your image name, create a private repository without authentication.

• To configure authentication for a private registry, add the following code to the manifest file, depending on what version of Docker you are running. 

• If you are using Docker V1.10 or earlier, specify the docker version in the manifest file:

docker::registry { 'example.docker.io:5000':
  username => 'user',
  password => 'secret',
  email    => 'user@example.com',
  version  => '<docker_version>'
}

• To pull images from the docker store, use the following as the registry definition with your own docker hub credentials.

docker::registry {'https://index.docker.io/v1 ':
  username => 'username',
  password => 'password',
}

• If using Docker V1.11 or later, the docker login email flag has been deprecated.
