5.3.3.2. Modifying the configuration file by using the CLI

Procedure

1. Describe the QuayRegistry resource by entering the following command:

   $ oc describe quayregistry -n <quay_namespace>

   # ...
     Config Bundle Secret:  example-registry-config-bundle-v123x
   # ...

2. Obtain the secret data by entering the following command:

   $ oc get secret -n <quay_namespace> <example-registry-config-bundle-v123x> -o jsonpath='{.data}'

   Example output

   {
       "config.yaml": "RkVBVFVSRV9VU0 ... MDAwMAo="
   }

3. Decode the data into a YAML file into the current directory by passing in the >> config.yaml flag. For example:

   $ echo 'RkVBVFVSRV9VU0 ... MDAwMAo=' | base64 --decode >> config.yaml

4. Make the desired changes to your config.yaml file, and then save the file as config.yaml.

5. Create a new configBundleSecret YAML by entering the following command.

   $ touch <new_configBundleSecret_name>.yaml

6. Create the new configBundleSecret resource, passing in the config.yaml file` by entering the following command:

   $ oc -n <namespace> create secret generic <secret_name> \
     --from-file=config.yaml=</path/to/config.yaml> \ 

   1

   
     --dry-run=client -o yaml > <new_configBundleSecret_name>.yaml

   1

   Where <config.yaml> is your base64 decoded config.yaml file.

7. Create the configBundleSecret resource by entering the following command:

   $ oc create -n <namespace> -f <new_configBundleSecret_name>.yaml

   Example output

   secret/config-bundle created

8. Update the QuayRegistry YAML file to reference the new configBundleSecret object by entering the following command:

   $ oc patch quayregistry <registry_name> -n <namespace> --type=merge -p '{"spec":{"configBundleSecret":"<new_configBundleSecret_name>"}}'

   Example output

   quayregistry.quay.redhat.com/example-registry patched

Verification

1. Verify that the QuayRegistry CR has been updated with the new configBundleSecret:

   $ oc describe quayregistry -n <quay_namespace>

   Example output

   # ...
     Config Bundle Secret: <new_configBundleSecret_name>
   # ...

   After patching the registry, the Red Hat Quay Operator automatically reconciles the changes.
