4.2. Modifying your configuration file after deployment

Procedure

1. If you have access to the config.yaml file:

   1. Navigate to the directory that is storing the config.yaml file. For example:

      $ cd /home/<username>/<quay-deployment-directory>/config

   2. Make changes to the config.yaml file by adding a new feature flag. The following example enables the v2 UI:

      # ...
      FEATURE_UI_V2: true
      # ...

   3. Save the changes made to the config.yaml file.

   4. Restart the quay-registry pod by entering the following command:

      $ podman restart <container_id>

2. If you do not have access to the config.yaml file and need to create a new file while keeping the same credentials:

   1. Retrieve the container ID of your quay-registry pod by entering the following command:

      $ podman ps

      Example output

      CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                                                                     COMMAND         CREATED       STATUS       PORTS                                                                       NAMES
      5f2297ef53ff  registry.redhat.io/rhel8/postgresql-13:1-109                              run-postgresql  20 hours ago  Up 20 hours  0.0.0.0:5432->5432/tcp                                                      postgresql-quay

   2. Copy the config.yaml file from the quay-registry pod to a directory by entering the following command:

      $ podman cp <container_id>:/quay-registry/conf/stack/config.yaml ./config.yaml

   3. Make changes to the config.yaml file by adding a new feature flag. The following example sets the AUTHENTICATION_TYPE to LDAP

      # ...
      AUTHENTICATION_TYPE: LDAP
      # ...

   4. Re-deploy the registry, mounting the config.yaml file into the quay-registry configuration volume by entering the following command:

      $ sudo podman run -d --rm -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
         --name=quay \
         -v /home/<username>/<quay-deployment-directory>/config:/conf/stack:Z \
         registry.redhat.io/quay/quay-rhel8:v3.14.0
