This document focuses on troubleshooting specific components within Red Hat Quay, providing targeted guidance for resolving issues that might arise. Designed for system administrators, operators, and developers, this resource aims to help diagnose and troubleshoot problems related to individual components of Red Hat Quay.
In addition to the following procedures, Red Hat Quay components can also be troubleshot by running Red Hat Quay in debug mode, obtaining log information, obtaining configuration information, and performing health checks on endpoints.
By using the following procedures, you are able to troubleshoot common component issues. Afterwards, you can search for solutions on the Red Hat Knowledgebase, or file a support ticket with the Red Hat Support team.
6.1. Troubleshooting the Red Hat Quay database
The PostgreSQL database used for Red Hat Quay store various types of information related to container images and their management. Some of the key pieces of information that the PostgreSQL database stores includes:
- Image Metadata. The database stores metadata associated with container images, such as image names, versions, creation timestamps, and the user or organization that owns the image. This information allows for easy identification and organization of container images within the registry.
- Image Tags. Red Hat Quay allows users to assign tags to container images, enabling convenient labeling and versioning. The PostgreSQL database maintains the mapping between image tags and their corresponding image manifests, allowing users to retrieve specific versions of container images based on the provided tags.
- Image Layers. Container images are composed of multiple layers, which are stored as individual objects. The database records information about these layers, including their order, checksums, and sizes. This data is crucial for efficient storage and retrieval of container images.
- User and Organization Data. Red Hat Quay supports user and organization management, allowing users to authenticate and manage access to container images. The PostgreSQL database stores user and organization information, including usernames, email addresses, authentication tokens, and access permissions.
- Repository Information. Red Hat Quay organizes container images into repositories, which act as logical units for grouping related images. The database maintains repository data, including names, descriptions, visibility settings, and access control information, enabling users to manage and share their repositories effectively.
- Event Logs. Red Hat Quay tracks various events and activities related to image management and repository operations. These event logs, including image pushes, pulls, deletions, and repository modifications, are stored in the PostgreSQL database, providing an audit trail and allowing administrators to monitor and analyze system activities.
The content in this section covers the following procedures:
- Checking the type of deployment: Determine if the database is deployed as a container on a virtual machine or as a pod on OpenShift Container Platform.
-
Checking the container or pod status: Verify the status of the
database
pod or container using specific commands based on the deployment type. - Examining the database container or pod logs: Access and examine the logs of the database pod or container, including commands for different deployment types.

6.2. Troubleshooting Red Hat Quay authentication
Authentication and authorization is crucial for secure access to Red Hat Quay. Together, they safeguard sensitive container images, verify user identities, enforce access controls, facilitate auditing and accountability, and enable seamless integration with external identity providers. By prioritizing authentication, organizations can bolster the overall security and integrity of their container registry environment.
The following authentication methods are supported by Red Hat Quay:
- Username and password. Users can authentication by providing their username and password, which are validated against the user database configured in Red Hat Quay. This traditional method requires users to enter their credentials to gain access.
- OAuth. Red Hat Quay supports OAuth authentication, which allows users to authenticate using their credentials from third party services like Google, GitHub, or Keycloak. OAuth enables a seamless and federated login experience, eliminating the need for separate account creation and simplifying user management.
- OIDC. OpenID Connect enables single sign-on (SSO) capabilities and integration with enterprise identity providers. With OpenID Connect, users can authenticate using their existing organizational credentials, providing a unified authentication experience across various systems and applications.
- Token-based authentication. Users can obtain unique tokens that grant access to specific resources within Red Hat Quay. Tokens can be obtained through various means, such as OAuth or by generating API tokens within the Red Hat Quay user interface. Token-based authentication is often used for automated or programmatic access to the registry.
- External identity provider. Red Hat Quay can integrate with external identity providers, such as LDAP or AzureAD, for authentication purposes. This integration allows organizations to use their existing identity management infrastructure, enabling centralized user authentication and reducing the need for separate user databases.
6.2.1. Troubleshooting Red Hat Quay authentication and authorization issues for specific users
Use the following procedure to troubleshoot authentication and authorization issues for specific users.
Procedure
- Exec into the Red Hat Quay pod or container. For more information, see "Interacting with the Red Hat Quay database".
Enter the following command to show all users for external authentication:
quay=# select * from federatedlogin;
Example output
id | user_id | service_id | service_ident | metadata_json ----+---------+------------+---------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------- 1 | 1 | 3 | testuser0 | {} 2 | 1 | 8 | PK7Zpg2Yu2AnfUKG15hKNXqOXirqUog6G-oE7OgzSWc | {"service_username": "live.com#testuser0"} 3 | 2 | 3 | testuser1 | {} 4 | 2 | 4 | 110875797246250333431 | {"service_username": "testuser1"} 5 | 3 | 3 | testuser2 | {} 6 | 3 | 1 | 26310880 | {"service_username": "testuser2"} (6 rows)

user
table:quay=# select username, email from "user";
Example output
username | email -----------+---------------------- testuser0 | testuser0@outlook.com testuser1 | testuser1@gmail.com testuser2 | testuser2@redhat.com (3 rows)
6.3. Troubleshooting Red Hat Quay object storage
Object storage is a type of data storage architecture that manages data as discrete units called objects
. Unlike traditional file systems that organize data into hierarchical directories and files, object storage treats data as independent entities with unique identifiers. Each object contains the data itself, along with metadata that describes the object and enables efficient retrieval.
Red Hat Quay uses object storage as the underlying storage mechanism for storing and managing container images. It stores container images as individual objects. Each container image is treated as an object, with its own unique identifier and associated metadata.
6.3.1. Troubleshooting Red Hat Quay object storage issues
Use the following options to troubleshoot Red Hat Quay object storage issues.
Procedure
Enter the following command to see what object storage is used:
$ oc get quayregistry quay-registry-name -o yaml
- Ensure that the object storage you are using is officially supported by Red Hat Quay by checking the tested integrations page.
- Enable debug mode. For more information, see "Running Red Hat Quay in debug mode".
-
Check your object storage configuration in your
config.yaml
file. Ensure that it is accurate and matches the settings provided by your object storage provider. You can check information like access credentials, endpoint URLs, bucket and container names, and other relevant configuration parameters. - Ensure that Red Hat Quay has network connectivity to the object storage endpoint. Check the network configurations to ensure that there are no restrictions blocking the communication between Red Hat Quay and the object storage endpoint.
If
FEATURE_STORAGE_PROXY
is enabled in yourconfig.yaml
file, check to see if its download URL is accessible. This can be found in the Red Hat Quay debug logs. For example:$ curl -vvv "https://QUAY_HOSTNAME/_storage_proxy/dhaWZKRjlyO......Kuhc=/https/quay.hostname.com/quay-test/datastorage/registry/sha256/0e/0e1d17a1687fa270ba4f52a85c0f0e7958e13d3ded5123c3851a8031a9e55681?AWSAccessKeyId=xxxx&Signature=xxxxxx4%3D&Expires=1676066703"
-
Try access the object storage service outside of Red Hat Quay to determine if the issue is specific to your deployment, or the underlying object storage. You can use command line tools like
aws
,gsutil
, ors3cmd
provided by the object storage provider to perform basic operations like listing buckets, containers, or uploading and downloading objects. This might help you isolate the problem.
6.4. Geo-replication
Geo-replication allows multiple, geographically distributed Red Hat Quay deployments to work as a single registry from the perspective of a client or user. It significantly improves push and pull performance in a globally-distributed Red Hat Quay setup. Image data is asynchronously replicated in the background with transparent failover and redirect for clients.
Deployments of Red Hat Quay with geo-replication is supported on standalone and Operator deployments.
