Chapter 2. Building and mirroring the Red Hat operator catalog

Procedure

1. Build the catalog for redhat-operators.

   Match the tag of the ose-operator-registry in the --from flag to the major and minor versions of the OpenShift Container Platform cluster (for example, 4.6).

   $ oc adm catalog build --appregistry-org redhat-operators \
     --from=registry.redhat.io/openshift4/ose-operator-registry:v4.6 \
     --to=${MIRROR_REGISTRY_DNS}/olm/redhat-operators:v1 \
     --registry-config=${AUTH_FILE} \
     --filter-by-os="linux/amd64" --insecure

2. Mirror the catalog for redhat-operators.

   This is a long operation and can take 1-5 hours. Make sure there is 100 GB available disk space on the mirror host.

   $ oc adm catalog mirror ${MIRROR_REGISTRY_DNS}/olm/redhat-operators:v1 \
   ${MIRROR_REGISTRY_DNS} --registry-config=${AUTH_FILE} --insecure

   $ oc patch OperatorHub cluster --type json -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/spec/disableAllDefaultSources", "value": true}]'
