To manually secure the registry to serve traffic via TLS:
-
Fetch the service IP and port of the registry:
$ oc get svc/docker-registry NAME LABELS SELECTOR IP(S) PORT(S) docker-registry docker-registry=default docker-registry=default 172.30.124.220 5000/TCP
-
You can use an existing server certificate, or create a key and server certificate valid for specified IPs and host names, signed by a specified CA. To create a server certificate for the registry service IP and the docker-registry.default.svc.cluster.local host name, run the following command from the first master listed in the Ansible host inventory file, by default /etc/ansible/hosts:
$ oc adm ca create-server-cert \ --signer-cert=/etc/origin/master/ca.crt \ --signer-key=/etc/origin/master/ca.key \ --signer-serial=/etc/origin/master/ca.serial.txt \ --hostnames='docker-registry.default.svc.cluster.local,docker-registry.default.svc,172.30.124.220' \ --cert=/etc/secrets/registry.crt \ --key=/etc/secrets/registry.key
If the router will be exposed externally, add the public route host name in the
--hostnames
flag:--hostnames='mydocker-registry.example.com,docker-registry.default.svc.cluster.local,172.30.124.220 \
See Redeploying Registry and Router Certificates for additional details on updating the default certificate so that the route is externally accessible.
NoteThe
oc adm ca create-server-cert
command generates a certificate that is valid for two years. This can be altered with the--expire-days
option, but for security reasons, it is recommended to not make it greater than this value. -
Create the secret for the registry certificates:
$ oc create secret generic registry-certificates \ /etc/secrets/registry.crt \ /etc/secrets/registry.key
-
Add the secret to the registry pod’s service accounts (including the default service account):
$ oc secrets link registry registry-certificates $ oc secrets link default registry-certificates
NoteLimiting secrets to only the service accounts that reference them is disabled by default. This means that if
serviceAccountConfig.limitSecretReferences
is set tofalse
(the default setting) in the master configuration file, linking secrets to a service is not required. -
Pause the
docker-registry
service:$ oc rollout pause dc/docker-registry
-
Add the secret volume to the registry deployment configuration:
$ oc volume dc/docker-registry --add --type=secret \ --secret-name=registry-certificates -m /etc/secrets
-
Enable TLS by adding the following environment variables to the registry deployment configuration:
$ oc set env dc/docker-registry \ REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_CERTIFICATE=/etc/secrets/registry.crt \ REGISTRY_HTTP_TLS_KEY=/etc/secrets/registry.key
See the Configuring a registry section of the Docker documentation for more information.
-
Update the scheme used for the registry’s liveness probe from HTTP to HTTPS:
$ oc patch dc/docker-registry -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"containers":[{ "name":"registry", "livenessProbe": {"httpGet": {"scheme":"HTTPS"}} }]}}}}'
-
If your registry was initially deployed on {product-title} or later, update the scheme used for the registry’s readiness probe from HTTP to HTTPS:
$ oc patch dc/docker-registry -p '{"spec": {"template": {"spec": {"containers":[{ "name":"registry", "readinessProbe": {"httpGet": {"scheme":"HTTPS"}} }]}}}}'
-
Resume the
docker-registry
service:$ oc rollout resume dc/docker-registry
-
Validate the registry is running in TLS mode. Wait until the latest docker-registry deployment completes and verify the Docker logs for the registry container. You should find an entry for
listening on :5000, tls
.$ oc logs dc/docker-registry | grep tls time="2015-05-27T05:05:53Z" level=info msg="listening on :5000, tls" instance.id=deeba528-c478-41f5-b751-dc48e4935fc2
-
Copy the CA certificate to the Docker certificates directory. This must be done on all nodes in the cluster:
$ dcertsdir=/etc/docker/certs.d $ destdir_addr=$dcertsdir/172.30.124.220:5000 $ destdir_name=$dcertsdir/docker-registry.default.svc.cluster.local:5000 $ sudo mkdir -p $destdir_addr $destdir_name $ sudo cp ca.crt $destdir_addr //(1) $ sudo cp ca.crt $destdir_name
-
The ca.crt file is a copy of /etc/origin/master/ca.crt on the master.
-
-
When using authentication, some versions of
docker
also require you to configure your cluster to trust the certificate at the OS level.-
Copy the certificate:
$ cp /etc/origin/master/ca.crt /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/myregistrydomain.com.crt
-
Run:
$ update-ca-trust enable
-
-
Remove the
--insecure-registry
option only for this particular registry in the /etc/sysconfig/docker file. Then, reload the daemon and restart the docker service to reflect this configuration change:$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload $ sudo systemctl restart docker
-
Validate the
docker
client connection. Runningdocker push
to the registry ordocker pull
from the registry should succeed. Make sure you have logged into the registry.$ docker tag|push <registry/image> <internal_registry/project/image>
For example:
$ docker pull busybox $ docker tag docker.io/busybox 172.30.124.220:5000/openshift/busybox $ docker push 172.30.124.220:5000/openshift/busybox ... cf2616975b4a: Image successfully pushed Digest: sha256:3662dd821983bc4326bee12caec61367e7fb6f6a3ee547cbaff98f77403cab55
Instead of logging in to the {product-title} registry from within the {product-title} cluster, you can gain external access to it by first securing the registry and then exposing it with a route. This allows you to log in to the registry from outside the cluster using the route address, and to tag and push images using the route host.
-
Each of the following prerequisite steps are performed by default during a typical cluster installation. If they have not been, perform them manually:
-
A passthrough route should have been created by default for the registry during the initial cluster installation:
-
Verify whether the route exists:
$ oc get route/docker-registry -o yaml apiVersion: v1 kind: Route metadata: name: docker-registry spec: host: <host> (1) to: kind: Service name: docker-registry (2) tls: termination: passthrough (3)
-
The host for your route. You must be able to resolve this name externally via DNS to the router’s IP address.
-
The service name for your registry.
-
Specifies this route as a passthrough route.
NotePassthrough is currently the only type of route supported for exposing the secure registry.
-
-
If it does not exist, create the route via the
oc create route passthrough
command, specifying the registry as the route’s service. By default, the name of the created route is the same as the service name:-
Get the docker-registry service details:
$ oc get svc NAME CLUSTER_IP EXTERNAL_IP PORT(S) SELECTOR AGE docker-registry 172.30.69.167 <none> 5000/TCP docker-registry=default 4h kubernetes 172.30.0.1 <none> 443/TCP,53/UDP,53/TCP <none> 4h router 172.30.172.132 <none> 80/TCP router=router 4h
-
Create the route:
$ oc create route passthrough \ --service=docker-registry \//(1) --hostname=<host> route "docker-registry" created (2)
-
Specifies the registry as the route’s service.
-
The route name is identical to the service name.
-
-
-
-
Next, you must trust the certificates being used for the registry on your host system. The certificates referenced were created when you secured your registry.
$ sudo mkdir -p /etc/docker/certs.d/<host> $ sudo cp <ca_certificate_file> /etc/docker/certs.d/<host> $ sudo systemctl restart docker
-
Log in to the registry using the information from securing the registry. However, this time point to the host name used in the route rather than your service IP. When logging in to a secured and exposed registry, make sure you specify the registry in the
docker login
command:# docker login -e [email protected] \ -u f83j5h6 \ -p Ju1PeM47R0B92Lk3AZp-bWJSck2F7aGCiZ66aFGZrs2 \ <host>
-
You can now tag and push images using the route host. For example, to tag and push a
busybox
image in a project calledtest
:$ oc get imagestreams -n test NAME DOCKER REPO TAGS UPDATED $ docker pull busybox $ docker tag busybox <host>/test/busybox $ docker push <host>/test/busybox The push refers to a repository [<host>/test/busybox] (len: 1) 8c2e06607696: Image already exists 6ce2e90b0bc7: Image successfully pushed cf2616975b4a: Image successfully pushed Digest: sha256:6c7e676d76921031532d7d9c0394d0da7c2906f4cb4c049904c4031147d8ca31 $ docker pull <host>/test/busybox latest: Pulling from <host>/test/busybox cf2616975b4a: Already exists 6ce2e90b0bc7: Already exists 8c2e06607696: Already exists Digest: sha256:6c7e676d76921031532d7d9c0394d0da7c2906f4cb4c049904c4031147d8ca31 Status: Image is up to date for <host>/test/busybox:latest $ oc get imagestreams -n test NAME DOCKER REPO TAGS UPDATED busybox 172.30.11.215:5000/test/busybox latest 2 seconds ago
NoteYour image streams will have the IP address and port of the registry service, not the route name and port. See
oc get imagestreams
for details.
Instead of securing the registry in order to expose the registry, you can simply expose a non-secure registry for non-production {product-title} environments. This allows you to have an external route to the registry without using SSL certificates.
Warning
|
Only non-production environments should expose a non-secure registry to external access. |
To expose a non-secure registry:
-
Expose the registry:
# oc expose service docker-registry --hostname=<hostname> -n default
This creates the following JSON file:
apiVersion: v1 kind: Route metadata: creationTimestamp: null labels: docker-registry: default name: docker-registry spec: host: registry.example.com port: targetPort: "5000" to: kind: Service name: docker-registry status: {}
-
Verify that the route has been created successfully:
# oc get route NAME HOST/PORT PATH SERVICE LABELS INSECURE POLICY TLS TERMINATION docker-registry registry.example.com docker-registry docker-registry=default
-
Check the health of the registry:
$ curl -v http://registry.example.com/healthz
Expect an HTTP 200/OK message.
After exposing the registry, update your /etc/sysconfig/docker file by adding the port number to the
OPTIONS
entry. For example:OPTIONS='--selinux-enabled --insecure-registry=172.30.0.0/16 --insecure-registry registry.example.com:80'
ImportantThe above options should be added on the client from which you are trying to log in.
Also, ensure that Docker is running on the client.
When
logging in to the non-secured and exposed registry, make sure you specify the registry
in the docker login
command. For example:
# docker login -e [email protected] \ -u f83j5h6 \ -p Ju1PeM47R0B92Lk3AZp-bWJSck2F7aGCiZ66aFGZrs2 \ <host>
