5. Paste and run the command in your terminal.

Procedure

1. From the navigation panel, select Execution Environments Execution Environments.
2. Add https://registry.redhat.io to the registry.

3. Add any required credentials to authenticate.

   Note

   Some container registries are aggressive with rate limiting. Set a rate limit under Advanced Options.

4. From the navigation panel, select Execution Environments Execution Environments.
5. Click Add execution environment in the page header.

6. Select the registry you want to pull from. The Name field displays the name of the image displayed on your local registry.

   Note

   The Upstream name field is the name of the image on the remote server. For example, if the upstream name is set to "alpine" and the Name field is "local/alpine", the alpine image is downloaded from the remote and renamed to "local/alpine".

7. Set a list of tags to include or exclude. Syncing images with a large number of tags is time consuming and uses a lot of disk space.
