DATABASE_SECRET_KEY
(Required)

String

Key used to encrypt sensitive fields within the database. This value should never be changed once set, otherwise all reliant fields, for example, repository mirror username and password configurations, are invalidated.
This value is set automatically by the Red Hat Quay Operator for Operator-based deployments. For standalone deployments, administrators can provide their own key using Open SSL or a similar tool. Key length should not exceed 63 characters.

SECRET_KEY
(Required)

String

Key used to encrypt the session cookie and the CSRF token needed for correct interpretation of the user session. The value should not be changed when set. Should be persistent across all Red Hat Quay instances. If not persistent across all instances, login failures and other errors related to session persistence might occur.

SETUP_COMPLETE
(Required)

Boolean

This is an artifact left over from earlier versions of the software and currently it must be specified with a value of true.

3.5. Database configuration

This section describes the database configuration fields available for Red Hat Quay deployments.

3.5.1. Database URI

With Red Hat Quay, connection to the database is configured by using the required DB_URI field.

The following table describes the DB_URI configuration field:

Table 3.2. Database URI
FieldTypeDescription

DB_URI

3.5.2.1. PostgreSQL SSL/TLS connection arguments

With SSL/TLS, configuration depends on the database you are deploying. The following example shows a PostgreSQL SSL/TLS configuration: 

DB_CONNECTION_ARGS:
  sslmode: verify-ca
  sslrootcert: /path/to/cacert

The sslmode option determines whether, or with, what priority a secure SSL/TLS TCP/IP connection will be negotiated with the server. There are six modes:

Table 3.4. SSL/TLS options
ModeDescription

disable

Your configuration only tries non-SSL/TLS connections.

allow

Your configuration first tries a non-SSL/TLS connection. Upon failure, tries an SSL/TLS connection.

prefer
(Default)

Your configuration first tries an SSL/TLS connection. Upon failure, tries a non-SSL/TLS connection.

require

Your configuration only tries an SSL/TLS connection. If a root CA file is present, it verifies the certificate in the same way as if verify-ca was specified.

verify-ca

Your configuration only tries an SSL/TLS connection, and verifies that the server certificate is issued by a trusted certificate authority (CA).

verify-full

Only tries an SSL/TLS connection, and verifies that the server certificate is issued by a trusted CA and that the requested server hostname matches that in the certificate.

For more information on the valid arguments for PostgreSQL, see Database Connection Control Functions.

3.5.2.2. MySQL SSL/TLS connection arguments

The following example shows a sample MySQL SSL/TLS configuration:

3.13. Pre-configuring Red Hat Quay for automation

Red Hat Quay supports several configuration options that enable automation. Users can configure these options before deployment to reduce the need for interaction with the user interface.

3.13.1. Allowing the API to create the first user

To create the first user, users need to set the FEATURE_USER_INITIALIZE parameter to true and call the /api/v1/user/initialize API. Unlike all other registry API calls that require an OAuth token generated by an OAuth application in an existing organization, the API endpoint does not require authentication.

Users can use the API to create a user such as quayadmin after deploying Red Hat Quay, provided no other users have been created. For more information, see Using the API to create the first user.

3.13.2. Enabling general API access

Users should set the BROWSER_API_CALLS_XHR_ONLY configuration option to false to allow general access to the Red Hat Quay registry API.

3.13.3. Adding a superuser

After deploying Red Hat Quay, users can create a user and give the first user administrator privileges with full permissions. Users can configure full permissions in advance by using the SUPER_USER configuration object. For example: 

# ...
SERVER_HOSTNAME: quay-server.example.com
SETUP_COMPLETE: true
SUPER_USERS:
  - quayadmin
# ...

3.13.4. Restricting user creation

After you have configured a superuser, you can restrict the ability to create new users to the superuser group by setting the FEATURE_USER_CREATION to false. For example: 

# ...
FEATURE_USER_INITIALIZE: true
BROWSER_API_CALLS_XHR_ONLY: false
SUPER_USERS:
- quayadmin
FEATURE_USER_CREATION: false
# ...

3.13.5. Enabling new functionality in Red Hat Quay 3.12

To use new Red Hat Quay 3.12 functions, enable some or all of the following features: 

# ...
FEATURE_UI_V2: true
FEATURE_UI_V2_REPO_SETTINGS: true
FEATURE_AUTO_PRUNE: true
ROBOTS_DISALLOW: false
# ...

3.13.6. Suggested configuration for automation

The following config.yaml parameters are suggested for automation: 

# ...
FEATURE_USER_INITIALIZE: true
BROWSER_API_CALLS_XHR_ONLY: false
SUPER_USERS:
- quayadmin
FEATURE_USER_CREATION: false
# ...

3.13.7. Deploying the Red Hat Quay Operator using the initial configuration

Use the following procedure to deploy Red Hat Quay on OpenShift Container Platform using the initial configuration.

Prerequisites

  • You have installed the oc CLI.

Procedure

  1. Create a secret using the configuration file: 

    $ oc create secret generic -n quay-enterprise --from-file config.yaml=./config.yaml init-config-bundle-secret

  2. Create a quayregistry.yaml file. Identify the unmanaged components and reference the created secret, for example: 

    apiVersion: quay.redhat.com/v1
kind: QuayRegistry
metadata:
  name: example-registry
  namespace: quay-enterprise

  3. Deploy the Red Hat Quay registry: 

    $ oc create -n quay-enterprise -f quayregistry.yaml

Next Steps

3.13.8. Using the API to create the first user

Use the following procedure to create the first user in your Red Hat Quay organization.

Prerequisites

  • The config option FEATURE_USER_INITIALIZE must be set to true.
  • No users can already exist in the database.
Procedure

This procedure requests an OAuth token by specifying "access_token": true.

  1. Open your Red Hat Quay configuration file and update the following configuration fields: 

    FEATURE_USER_INITIALIZE: true
SUPER_USERS:
     -  quayadmin

  2. Stop the Red Hat Quay service by entering the following command: 

    $ sudo podman stop quay

  3. Start the Red Hat Quay service by entering the following command: 

    $ sudo podman run -d -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 --name=quay -v $QUAY/config:/conf/stack:Z  -v $QUAY/storage:/datastorage:Z {productrepo}/{quayimage}:{productminv}

  4. Run the following CURL command to generate a new user with a username, password, email, and access token: 

    $ curl -X POST -k  http://quay-server.example.com/api/v1/user/initialize --header 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{ "username": "quayadmin", "password":"quaypass12345", "email": "quayadmin@example.com", "access_token": true}'

    If successful, the command returns an object with the username, email, and encrypted password. For example: 

    {"access_token":"6B4QTRSTSD1HMIG915VPX7BMEZBVB9GPNY2FC2ED", "email":"quayadmin@example.com","encrypted_password":"1nZMLH57RIE5UGdL/yYpDOHLqiNCgimb6W9kfF8MjZ1xrfDpRyRs9NUnUuNuAitW","username":"quayadmin"} # gitleaks:allow

    If a user already exists in the database, an error is returned: 

    {"message":"Cannot initialize user in a non-empty database"}

    If your password is not at least eight characters or contains whitespace, an error is returned: 

    {"message":"Failed to initialize user: Invalid password, password must be at least 8 characters and contain no whitespace."}

  5. Log in to your Red Hat Quay deployment by entering the following command: 

    $ sudo podman login -u quayadmin -p quaypass12345 http://quay-server.example.com --tls-verify=false

    Example output

    Login Succeeded!

3.13.8.1. Using the OAuth token

After invoking the API, you can call out the rest of the Red Hat Quay API by specifying the returned OAuth code.

Prerequisites

  • You have invoked the /api/v1/user/initialize API, and passed in the username, password, and email address.

Procedure

  • Obtain the list of current users by entering the following command: 

    $ curl -X GET -k -H "Authorization: Bearer 6B4QTRSTSD1HMIG915VPX7BMEZBVB9GPNY2FC2ED" https://example-registry-quay-quay-enterprise.apps.docs.quayteam.org/api/v1/superuser/users/

    Example output: 

    {
    "users": [
        {
            "kind": "user",
            "name": "quayadmin",
            "username": "quayadmin",
            "email": "quayadmin@example.com",
            "verified": true,
            "avatar": {
                "name": "quayadmin",
                "hash": "3e82e9cbf62d25dec0ed1b4c66ca7c5d47ab9f1f271958298dea856fb26adc4c",
                "color": "#e7ba52",
                "kind": "user"
            },
            "super_user": true,
            "enabled": true
        }
    ]
}

    In this instance, the details for the quayadmin user are returned as it is the only user that has been created so far.

3.13.8.2. Using the API to create an organization

The following procedure details how to use the API to create a Red Hat Quay organization.

Prerequisites

  • You have invoked the /api/v1/user/initialize API, and passed in the username, password, and email address.
  • You have called out the rest of the Red Hat Quay API by specifying the returned OAuth code.

Procedure

  1. To create an organization, use a POST call to api/v1/organization/ endpoint: 

    $ curl -X POST -k --header 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer 6B4QTRSTSD1HMIG915VPX7BMEZBVB9GPNY2FC2ED" https://example-registry-quay-quay-enterprise.apps.docs.quayteam.org/api/v1/organization/ --data '{"name": "testorg", "email": "testorg@example.com"}'

    Example output: 

    "Created"

  2. You can retrieve the details of the organization you created by entering the following command: 

    $ curl -X GET -k --header 'Content-Type: application/json' -H "Authorization: Bearer 6B4QTRSTSD1HMIG915VPX7BMEZBVB9GPNY2FC2ED" https://min-registry-quay-quay-enterprise.apps.docs.quayteam.org/api/v1/organization/testorg

    Example output: 

    {
    "name": "testorg",
    "email": "testorg@example.com",
    "avatar": {
        "name": "testorg",
        "hash": "5f113632ad532fc78215c9258a4fb60606d1fa386c91b141116a1317bf9c53c8",

...
PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME: https
...

  3. Stop the Quay container and restart the registry

3.16. Adding TLS Certificates to the Red Hat Quay Container

To add custom TLS certificates to Red Hat Quay, create a new directory named extra_ca_certs/ beneath the Red Hat Quay config directory. Copy any required site-specific TLS certificates to this new directory.

3.16.1. Add TLS certificates to Red Hat Quay

  1. View certificate to be added to the container 

    $ cat storage.crt
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIDTTCCAjWgAwIBAgIJAMVr9ngjJhzbMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAMD0xCzAJBgNV
[...]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

  2. Create certs directory and copy certificate there 

    $ mkdir -p quay/config/extra_ca_certs
$ cp storage.crt quay/config/extra_ca_certs/
$ tree quay/config/
├── config.yaml
├── extra_ca_certs
│   ├── storage.crt

  3. Obtain the Quay container’s CONTAINER ID with podman ps: 

    $ sudo podman ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS

Default: false

3.19. Security scanner configuration fields

Table 3.17. Security scanner configuration
FieldTypeDescription

FEATURE_SECURITY_SCANNER

Boolean

Enable or disable the security scanner

Default: false

FEATURE_SECURITY_NOTIFICATIONS

Boolean

If the security scanner is enabled, turn on or turn off security notifications

Default: false

SECURITY_SCANNER_V4_REINDEX_THRESHOLD

String

This parameter is used to determine the minimum time, in seconds, to wait before re-indexing a manifest that has either previously failed or has changed states since the last indexing. The data is calculated from the last_indexed datetime in the manifestsecuritystatus table. This parameter is used to avoid trying to re-index every failed manifest on every indexing run. The default time to re-index is 300 seconds.

SECURITY_SCANNER_V4_ENDPOINT

String

The endpoint for the V4 security scanner

Pattern:
^http(s)?://(.)+$

Example:
http://192.168.99.101:6060

SECURITY_SCANNER_V4_PSK

String

The generated pre-shared key (PSK) for Clair

SECURITY_SCANNER_ENDPOINT

String

The endpoint for the V2 security scanner

Pattern:
^http(s)?://(.)+$

Example:
http://192.168.99.100:6060

SECURITY_SCANNER_INDEXING_INTERVAL

Integer

This parameter is used to determine the number of seconds between indexing intervals in the security scanner. When indexing is triggered, Red Hat Quay will query its database for manifests that must be indexed by Clair. These include manifests that have not yet been indexed and manifests that previously failed indexing.

Default: 30

FEATURE_SECURITY_SCANNER_NOTIFY_ON_NEW_INDEX

Boolean

Whether to allow sending notifications about vulnerabilities for new pushes.
Default: True

SECURITY_SCANNER_V4_MANIFEST_CLEANUP

Boolean

Whether the Red Hat Quay garbage collector removes manifests that are not referenced by other tags or manifests.
Default: True

NOTIFICATION_MIN_SEVERITY_ON_NEW_INDEX

String

Set minimal security level for new notifications on detected vulnerabilities. Avoids creation of large number of notifications after first index. If not defined, defaults to High. Available options include Critical, High, Medium, Low, Negligible, and Unknown.

SECURITY_SCANNER_V4_INDEX_MAX_LAYER_SIZE

String

The maximum layer size allowed for indexing. If the layer size exceeds the configured size, the Red Hat Quay UI returns the following message: The manifest for this tag has layer(s) that are too large to index by the Quay Security Scanner. The default is 8G, and the maximum recommended is 10G. Accepted values are B, K, M, T, and G.
Default: 8G

3.19.1. Re-indexing with Clair v4

When Clair v4 indexes a manifest, the result should be deterministic. For example, the same manifest should produce the same index report. This is true until the scanners are changed, as using different scanners will produce different information relating to a specific manifest to be returned in the report. Because of this, Clair v4 exposes a state representation of the indexing engine (/indexer/api/v1/index_state) to determine whether the scanner configuration has been changed.

Red Hat Quay leverages this index state by saving it to the index report when parsing to Quay’s database. If this state has changed since the manifest was previously scanned, Red Hat Quay will attempt to re-index that manifest during the periodic indexing process.

By default this parameter is set to 30 seconds. Users might decrease the time if they want the indexing process to run more frequently, for example, if they did not want to wait 30 seconds to see security scan results in the UI after pushing a new tag. Users can also change the parameter if they want more control over the request pattern to Clair and the pattern of database operations being performed on the Red Hat Quay database.

3.19.2. Example security scanner configuration

The following YAML is the suggested configuration when enabling the security scanner feature.

String

This setting is used with multiple Executors. It indicates how many retries are attempted to start a Build before a different Executor is chosen. Setting to 0 means there are no restrictions on how many tries the build job needs to have.

For example, Kubernetes is set as the first executor and EC2 as the second executor. If you want the last attempt to run a job to always be executed on EC2 and not Kubernetes, you can set the Kubernetes executor’s MINIMUM_RETRY_THRESHOLD to 1 and EC2’s MINIMUM_RETRY_THRESHOLD to 0 (defaults to 0 if not set). In this case, the Kubernetes' MINIMUM_RETRY_THRESHOLD retries_remaining(1) would evaluate to False, therefore falling back to the second executor configured.

FieldTypeDescription

Boolean

When set, allows users to try the beta UI environment.

+ Default: False

FEATURE_UI_V2_REPO_SETTINGS

Boolean

When set to True, enables repository settings in the Red Hat Quay v2 UI.

+ Default: False

3.39.1. v2 user interface configuration

With FEATURE_UI_V2 enabled, you can toggle between the current version of the user interface and the new version of the user interface.

Important
  • This UI is currently in beta and subject to change. In its current state, users can only create, view, and delete organizations, repositories, and image tags.
  • When running Red Hat Quay in the old UI, timed-out sessions would require that the user input their password again in the pop-up window. With the new UI, users are returned to the main page and required to input their username and password credentials. This is a known issue and will be fixed in a future version of the new UI.
  • There is a discrepancy in how image manifest sizes are reported between the legacy UI and the new UI. In the legacy UI, image manifests were reported in mebibytes. In the new UI, Red Hat Quay uses the standard definition of megabyte (MB) to report image manifest sizes.

Procedure

  1. In your deployment’s config.yaml file, add the FEATURE_UI_V2 parameter and set it to true, for example: 

    ---
FEATURE_TEAM_SYNCING: false
FEATURE_UI_V2: true
FEATURE_USER_CREATION: true
---
  2. Log in to your Red Hat Quay deployment.

  3. In the navigation pane of your Red Hat Quay deployment, you are given the option to toggle between Current UI and New UI. Click the toggle button to set it to new UI, and then click Use Beta Environment, for example:

    Red Hat Quay v2 UI toggle
