Chapter 4. Creating a CatalogSource from a mirrored catalog


Procedure

  1. Create a CatalogSource object that references the catalog image for redhat-operators.

    Save the following in a redhat-operator-catalogsource.yaml file, remembering to replace <your_registry> with your mirror registry URL:

    apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
    kind: CatalogSource
    metadata:
      name: redhat-operators
      namespace: openshift-marketplace
    spec:
