Chapter 4. Accessing the registry Use the following sections for instructions on accessing the registry, including viewing logs and metrics, as well as securing and exposing the registry. You can access the registry directly to invoke podman commands. This allows you to push images to or pull them from the integrated registry directly using operations like podman push or podman pull . To do so, you must be logged in to the registry using the podman login command. The operations you can perform depend on your user permissions, as described in the following sections. 4.1. Prerequisites You must have configured an identity provider (IDP). For pulling images, for example when using the podman pull command, the user must have the registry-viewer role. To add this role, run the following command: USD oc policy add-role-to-user registry-viewer <user_name> For writing or pushing images, for example when using the podman push command: The user must have the registry-editor role. To add this role, run the following command: USD oc policy add-role-to-user registry-editor <user_name> Your cluster must have an existing project where the images can be pushed to. 4.2. Accessing registry directly from the cluster You can access the registry from inside the cluster. Procedure Access the registry from the cluster by using internal routes: Access the node by getting the node's name: USD oc get nodes USD oc debug nodes/<node_name> To enable access to tools such as oc and podman on the node, run the following command: sh-4.2# chroot /host Log in to the container image registry by using your access token: sh-4.2# oc login -u kubeadmin -p <password_from_install_log> https://api-int.<cluster_name>.<base_domain>:6443 sh-4.2# podman login -u kubeadmin -p USD(oc whoami -t) image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000 You should see a message confirming login, such as: Login Succeeded! Note You can pass any value for the user name; the token contains all necessary information. Passing a user name that contains colons will result in a login failure. Since the Image Registry Operator creates the route, it will likely be similar to default-route-openshift-image-registry.<cluster_name> . Perform podman pull and podman push operations against your registry: Important You can pull arbitrary images, but if you have the system:registry role added, you can only push images to the registry in your project. In the following examples, use: Component Value <registry_ip> 172.30.124.220 <port> 5000 <project> openshift <image> image <tag> omitted (defaults to latest ) Pull an arbitrary image: sh-4.2# podman pull name.io/image Tag the new image with the form <registry_ip>:<port>/<project>/<image> . The project name must appear in this pull specification for OpenShift Container Platform to correctly place and later access the image in the registry: sh-4.2# podman tag name.io/image image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/openshift/image Note You must have the system:image-builder role for the specified project, which allows the user to write or push an image. Otherwise, the podman push in the step will fail. To test, you can create a new project to push the image. Push the newly tagged image to your registry: sh-4.2# podman push image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/openshift/image 4.3. Checking the status of the registry pods As a cluster administrator, you can list the image registry pods running in the openshift-image-registry project and check their status. Prerequisites You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role. Procedure List the pods in the openshift-image-registry project and view their status: USD oc get pods -n openshift-image-registry Example output NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE cluster-image-registry-operator-764bd7f846-qqtpb 1/1 Running 0 78m image-registry-79fb4469f6-llrln 1/1 Running 0 77m node-ca-hjksc 1/1 Running 0 73m node-ca-tftj6 1/1 Running 0 77m node-ca-wb6ht 1/1 Running 0 77m node-ca-zvt9q 1/1 Running 0 74m 4.4. Viewing registry logs You can view the logs for the registry by using the oc logs command. Procedure Use the oc logs command with deployments to view the logs for the container image registry: USD oc logs deployments/image-registry -n openshift-image-registry Example output 2015-05-01T19:48:36.300593110Z time="2015-05-01T19:48:36Z" level=info msg="version=v2.0.0+unknown" 2015-05-01T19:48:36.303294724Z time="2015-05-01T19:48:36Z" level=info msg="redis not configured" instance.id=9ed6c43d-23ee-453f-9a4b-031fea646002 2015-05-01T19:48:36.303422845Z time="2015-05-01T19:48:36Z" level=info msg="using inmemory layerinfo cache" instance.id=9ed6c43d-23ee-453f-9a4b-031fea646002 2015-05-01T19:48:36.303433991Z time="2015-05-01T19:48:36Z" level=info msg="Using OpenShift Auth handler" 2015-05-01T19:48:36.303439084Z time="2015-05-01T19:48:36Z" level=info msg="listening on :5000" instance.id=9ed6c43d-23ee-453f-9a4b-031fea646002 4.5. Accessing registry metrics The OpenShift Container Registry provides an endpoint for Prometheus metrics . Prometheus is a stand-alone, open source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit. The metrics are exposed at the /extensions/v2/metrics path of the registry endpoint. Procedure There are two ways in which you can access the metrics, running a metrics query or using the cluster role. Metrics query Run a metrics query, for example: USD curl --insecure -s -u <user>:<secret> \ 1 https://image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/extensions/v2/metrics | grep imageregistry | head -n 20 Example output # HELP imageregistry_build_info A metric with a constant '1' value labeled by major, minor, git commit & git version from which the image registry was built. # TYPE imageregistry_build_info gauge imageregistry_build_info{gitCommit="9f72191",gitVersion="v3.11.0+9f72191-135-dirty",major="3",minor="11+"} 1 # HELP imageregistry_digest_cache_requests_total Total number of requests without scope to the digest cache. # TYPE imageregistry_digest_cache_requests_total counter imageregistry_digest_cache_requests_total{type="Hit"} 5 imageregistry_digest_cache_requests_total{type="Miss"} 24 # HELP imageregistry_digest_cache_scoped_requests_total Total number of scoped requests to the digest cache. # TYPE imageregistry_digest_cache_scoped_requests_total counter imageregistry_digest_cache_scoped_requests_total{type="Hit"} 33 imageregistry_digest_cache_scoped_requests_total{type="Miss"} 44 # HELP imageregistry_http_in_flight_requests A gauge of requests currently being served by the registry. # TYPE imageregistry_http_in_flight_requests gauge imageregistry_http_in_flight_requests 1 # HELP imageregistry_http_request_duration_seconds A histogram of latencies for requests to the registry. # TYPE imageregistry_http_request_duration_seconds summary imageregistry_http_request_duration_seconds{method="get",quantile="0.5"} 0.01296087 imageregistry_http_request_duration_seconds{method="get",quantile="0.9"} 0.014847248 imageregistry_http_request_duration_seconds{method="get",quantile="0.99"} 0.015981195 imageregistry_http_request_duration_seconds_sum{method="get"} 12.260727916000022 1 <user> can be arbitrary, but <secret> must match the value specified in the registry configuration. Cluster role Create a cluster role if you do not already have one to access the metrics: USD cat <<EOF | oc create -f - apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 kind: ClusterRole metadata: name: prometheus-scraper rules: - apiGroups: - image.openshift.io resources: - registry/metrics verbs: - get EOF Add this role to a user, run the following command: USD oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user prometheus-scraper <username> Access the metrics using cluster role. The part of the configuration file responsible for metrics should look like this: openshift: version: 1.0 metrics: enabled: true ... 4.6. Additional resources For more information on allowing pods in a project to reference images in another project, see Allowing pods to reference images across projects . A kubeadmin can access the registry until deleted. See Removing the kubeadmin user for more information.
