Chapter 8. Creating a Podman site in a restricted environment


In a production environment which has no or limited internet access, you might need to mirror the required images to create a site.

This procedure outlines how to use Podman and tar files for managing container images. If a registry is available in the restricted environment, the same process can be followed. Ensure that the environment variables are set to reference the images in the registry after they have been populated.

Note

If you want to use a Linux machine with a proxy to pull images, you can configure Podman to use a proxy:

$ systemctl --user edit podman
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Add the following to the service definition:

[Service]
Environment="HTTP_PROXY=<proxy-domain>:<proxy-port>"
Environment="HTTPS_PROXY=<proxy-domain>:<proxy-port>"
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To ensure that podman uses the new configuration:

$ systemctl --user daemon-reload
$ systemctl --user restart podman
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Prerequisites

  • A Linux machine with internet access to download the images.
  • A Linux machine in a restricted environment where you want to create the site.

This can be one machine, where the machine is moved to the restricted environment.

Procedure

  1. Log in to registry.redhat.io on the machine with internet access:

    $ podman login -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD registry.redhat.io
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Download the images required for a Podman site by creating a site:

    $ skupper init
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    If you require a console, use the following command to ensure the extra images are downloaded

    $ skupper init --enable-console --enable-flow-collector
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    After creating the site, the following images are listed using podman image ls -a:

    • registry.redhat.io/service-interconnect/skupper-router-rhel9
    • registry.redhat.io/service-interconnect/skupper-controller-podman-rhel9
    • registry.redhat.io/service-interconnect/skupper-flow-collector-rhel9 (console only)
    • registry.redhat.io/openshift4/ose-prometheus (console only)

    The tags are determined by the version of the skupper CLI.

  3. Create tar files for each image, for example:

    $ podman save -o skupper-controller.tar  registry.redhat.io/service-interconnect/skupper-controller-podman-rhel9:<tag>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    where <tag> is the tag shown from using the podman image ls -a command.

  4. Copy the tar files to the machine in the restricted environment.
  5. On the machine in the restricted environment, load the image from the tar files, for example:

    podman load -i skupper-controller.tar
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  6. Change the image tags to remove reference to registry.redhat.io:

    podman tag registry.redhat.io/service-interconnect/skupper-router-rhel9:<tag> service-interconnect/skupper-router-rhel9:<tag>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    This step is required to avoid the machine attempting to pull images from registry.redhat.io.

  7. Configure the skupper CLI to use the mirrored images by setting the following environment variables:

    $ export SKUPPER_CONTROLLER_PODMAN_IMAGE=service-interconnect/skupper-controller-podman-rhel9:<tag>
    $ export QDROUTERD_IMAGE=service-interconnect/skupper-router-rhel9:<tag>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    If you require a console, you also require the following environment variables:

    $ export SKUPPER_FLOW_COLLECTOR_IMAGE=service-interconnect/skupper-flow-collector-rhel9:<tag>
    $ export PROMETHEUS_SERVER_IMAGE=openshift4/ose-prometheus:<tag>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  8. Create a site, for example:

    $ skupper init
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
