Chapter 9. Monitoring and debugging the deployment process

Users can now troubleshoot problems during the deployment phase. The status in the QuayRegistry object can help you monitor the health of the components during the deployment an help you debug any problems that may arise.

Procedure

  1. Enter the following command to check the status of your deployment: 

    $ oc get quayregistry -n quay-enterprise -o yaml

    Example output

    Immediately after deployment, the QuayRegistry object will show the basic configuration: 

    apiVersion: v1
items:
- apiVersion: quay.redhat.com/v1
  kind: QuayRegistry
  metadata:
    creationTimestamp: "2021-09-14T10:51:22Z"
    generation: 3
    name: example-registry
    namespace: quay-enterprise
    resourceVersion: "50147"
    selfLink: /apis/quay.redhat.com/v1/namespaces/quay-enterprise/quayregistries/example-registry
    uid: e3fc82ba-e716-4646-bb0f-63c26d05e00e
  spec:
    components:
    - kind: postgres
      managed: true
    - kind: clair
      managed: true
    - kind: redis
      managed: true
    - kind: horizontalpodautoscaler
      managed: true
    - kind: objectstorage
      managed: true
    - kind: route
      managed: true
    - kind: mirror
      managed: true
    - kind: monitoring
      managed: true
    - kind: tls
      managed: true
    - kind: clairpostgres
      managed: true
    configBundleSecret: example-registry-config-bundle-kt55s
kind: List
metadata:
  resourceVersion: ""
  selfLink: ""

  2. Use the oc get pods command to view the current state of the deployed components: 

    $ oc get pods -n quay-enterprise

    Example output

    NAME                                                   READY   STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE

example-registry-quay-postgres-init-bktdt              0/1     Terminating         0          17s
example-registry-quay-redis-f9b9d44bf-4htpz            0/1     ContainerCreating   0          17s

  3. While the deployment is in progress, the QuayRegistry object will show the current status. In this instance, database migrations are taking place, and other components are waiting until completion: 

      status:
    conditions:
    - lastTransitionTime: "2021-09-14T10:52:04Z"
      lastUpdateTime: "2021-09-14T10:52:04Z"
      message: all objects created/updated successfully
      reason: ComponentsCreationSuccess
      status: "False"
      type: RolloutBlocked
    - lastTransitionTime: "2021-09-14T10:52:05Z"
      lastUpdateTime: "2021-09-14T10:52:05Z"
      message: running database migrations
      reason: MigrationsInProgress
      status: "False"
      type: Available
    lastUpdated: 2021-09-14 10:52:05.371425635 +0000 UTC
    unhealthyComponents:
      clair:
      - lastTransitionTime: "2021-09-14T10:51:32Z"
        lastUpdateTime: "2021-09-14T10:51:32Z"
        message: 'Deployment example-registry-clair-postgres: Deployment does not have minimum availability.'
        reason: MinimumReplicasUnavailable
        status: "False"
        type: Available
      - lastTransitionTime: "2021-09-14T10:51:32Z"
        lastUpdateTime: "2021-09-14T10:51:32Z"
        message: 'Deployment example-registry-clair-app: Deployment does not have minimum availability.'
        reason: MinimumReplicasUnavailable
        status: "False"
        type: Available
      mirror:
      - lastTransitionTime: "2021-09-14T10:51:32Z"
        lastUpdateTime: "2021-09-14T10:51:32Z"
        message: 'Deployment example-registry-quay-mirror: Deployment does not have minimum availability.'
        reason: MinimumReplicasUnavailable
        status: "False"
        type: Available

  4. When the deployment process finishes successfully, the status in the QuayRegistry object shows no unhealthy components: 

      status:
    conditions:
    - lastTransitionTime: "2021-09-14T10:52:36Z"
      lastUpdateTime: "2021-09-14T10:52:36Z"
      message: all registry component healthchecks passing
      reason: HealthChecksPassing
      status: "True"
      type: Available
    - lastTransitionTime: "2021-09-14T10:52:46Z"
      lastUpdateTime: "2021-09-14T10:52:46Z"
      message: all objects created/updated successfully
      reason: ComponentsCreationSuccess
      status: "False"
      type: RolloutBlocked
    currentVersion: {producty}
    lastUpdated: 2021-09-14 10:52:46.104181633 +0000 UTC
    registryEndpoint: https://example-registry-quay-quay-enterprise.apps.docs.quayteam.org
    unhealthyComponents: {}
  1. Create a namespace, for example, quay-enterprise.
  2. Select Operators Installed Operators, then select the Quay Operator to navigate to the Operator detail view.
  3. Click 'Create Instance' on the 'Quay Registry' tile under 'Provided APIs'.
  4. Optionally change the 'Name' of the QuayRegistry. This will affect the hostname of the registry. All other fields have been populated with defaults.
  5. Click 'Create' to submit the QuayRegistry to be deployed by the Quay Operator.
  6. You should be redirected to the QuayRegistry list view. Click on the QuayRegistry you just created to see the details view.
  7. Once the 'Registry Endpoint' has a value, click it to access your new Quay registry via the UI. You can now select 'Create Account' to create a user and sign in.

Use the following procedure to create the first user by the Red Hat Quay UI.

Note

This procedure assumes that the FEATURE_USER_CREATION config option has not been set to false. If it is False, the Create Account functionality on the UI will be disabled, and you will have to use the API to create the first user.

Procedure

  1. In the OpenShift Container Platform console, navigate to Operators Installed Operators, with the appropriate namespace / project.

  2. Click on the newly installed QuayRegistry object to view the details. For example:

    QuayRegistry details

  3. After the Registry Endpoint has a value, navigate to this URL in your browser.

  4. Select Create Account in the Red Hat Quay registry UI to create a user. For example:

    Create Account

  5. Enter the details for Username, Password, Email, and then click Create Account. For example:

    Enter account details

After creating the first user, you are automatically logged in to the Red Hat Quay registry. For example:
