4.5. Creating a pull secret for authentication to the container image registry

Procedure

1. Create a pull secret containing your login details and the container registry where the Streams for Apache Kafka image is pulled from:

   oc create secret docker-registry <pull_secret_name> \
       --docker-server=registry.redhat.io \
       --docker-username=<user_name> \
       --docker-password=<password> \
       --docker-email=<email>

   Add your user name and password. The email address is optional.

2. Edit the install/cluster-operator/060-Deployment-strimzi-cluster-operator.yaml deployment file to specify the pull secret using the STRIMZI_IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS environment variable:

   apiVersion: apps/v1
   kind: Deployment
   metadata:
     name: strimzi-cluster-operator
   spec:
     # ...
     template:
       spec:
         serviceAccountName: strimzi-cluster-operator
         containers:
           # ...
           env:
             - name: STRIMZI_IMAGE_PULL_SECRETS
               value: "<pull_secret_name>"
   # ...

   The secret applies to all pods created by the Cluster Operator.
