If the container registry does not require authentication, set the -no-auth parameter to prevent prompting. If no environment parameters are required, set the -no-env parameter, for example:

ibmcloud hpvs registration-create --no-env --no-auth

Command options--repository-name REPO-NAME : Is the fully qualified name for the repository.

--cr-username USER-NAME
: Is the username for the login on the container repository. It can be any string of 4 - 30 characters.

--cr-pwd-path FILE-PATH
: Is the path to the file that contains the container repository password.

To ensure there are no trailing spaces in the file path, you can specify it as vi -b file_name, :set noeol, :wq.

--no-auth
: Is the parameter that must be set if the image does not require authorization to download. In this case, you don't need to provide cr-username and cr-pwd-path parameters. If you do, these parameters are ignored.

--allowed-env-keys ENV-KEYS
: Specifies the allowed environment variable keys as a comma-separated list. The keys must be strings of 1 - 64 characters.

--no-env
: This parameter can be set if the image does not require any allowed environment variables. In this case, you do not need to provide the allowed-env-keys parameter. If you do, it is ignored.

--image-key-id IMAGE-KEY-ID
: The ID of the root key that was used to sign the image. It must contain 64 characters long. If the image-key-id is not specified, the command first tries to determine the ID automatically by requesting the container registry notary service. You are prompted for this parameter for Docker Hub images.

--fingerprint FINGERPRINT
: If the image is in ICR, the fingerprint of the gpg key that is used to sign the image must be provided. You can get the fingerprint by using the gpg --list-keys name_of_the_key command.
Now, by using IAM API keys to access IBM Cloud Container Registry, you can customize IAM policies for the service ID to restrict access to your namespaces or specific images. For example, you can change the service ID policies in the cluster's image pull secret to pull images from only a certain registry region or namespace. Before you can customize IAM policies, you must [enable IBM Cloud IAM policies for IBM Cloud Container Registry](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-user). For more information, see [Understanding how your cluster is authorized to pull images from IBM Cloud Container Registry](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registrycluster_registry_auth).

When you run this command, the creation of IAM credentials and image pull secrets is initiated and can take some time to complete. You can't deploy containers that pull an image from the IBM Cloud Container Registry icr.io domains until the image pull secrets are created. To check the image pull secrets, run kubectl get secrets | grep icr-io. If you added IAM policies to an existing service ID, such as to restrict access to a regional registry, the service ID, IAM policies, and API key for the image pull secret are reset by this command.

Why can't I push or pull images from my local machine to the Docker registry? 

Virtual Private Cloud

Classic infrastructure

  What’s happening 

You can't push or pull Docker images from your local machine to the cluster's built-in Docker registry.

  Why it’s happening 

By default, the Docker registry is available internally within the cluster. You can build apps from remote directories such as GitHub or DockerHub by using the oc new-app command. Or you can expose your Docker registry such as with a route or load balancer so that you can push and pull images from your local machine.

  How to fix it 

Create a route for the image registry service. For more information, see [Setting up a secure external route for the internal registry](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-registryroute_internal_registry).
Start a new session of [IBM Cloud Shell](https://cloud.ibm.com/shell) in another browser tab.
3. In the shell, perform the following commands: Set an environment variable to the cloud region you are going to use for the Container Registry, e.g., us or de.

export REGION=us

Set another variable with your initials (or the prefix you picked above):

export YOUR_INITIALS=MI

Now log in to the Container Registry.

ibmcloud cr login

Next, pull a container image to the shell environment.

docker pull docker.io/library/hello-world:latest

Re-tag the image to upload it to your registry namespace.

docker tag docker.io/library/hello-world $REGION.icr.io/$YOUR_INITIALS-e2esec/hello-world

Last, push the container image to the registry.

docker push $REGION.icr.io/$YOUR_INITIALS-e2esec/hello-world
4. Switch to the browser tab with the activity logs. When in report mode, log entries are written to Activity Tracker when a rule matches, regardless of the decision outcome. The log record has details on the request. In the image below, the rule to allow access to a Container Registry namespace matched in report mode.

![Verify rules in report mode](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs-content/v1/content/f84e2238288b7f0355715a4c355609ce7ac48fb0/solution-tutorials/images/solution67-cbr-enhanced-security/CBR_rule_warning_registry.png)

A context restriction matched in reporting mode

As discussed, in report mode, all matching requests generate a log entry. In the event details you see an attribute decision with a value of either Permit or Deny. In the screenshot above it is Deny.
5. Back in the browser tab with the shell, list the container images in the namespace.

ibmcloud cr images --restrict $YOUR_INITIALS-e2esec
You might do this if your organization currently uses custom RBAC policies to control Kubernetes access and plans to continue using custom RBAC instead of service access roles.

Although platform access roles authorize you to perform infrastructure actions on the cluster, they don't grant access to the IBM Cloud infrastructure resources. Access to the IBM Cloud infrastructure resources is determined by the [API key that is set for the region](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-access-overviewapi_key).





 Overview of IBM Cloud IAM service access roles 

Use service access roles in IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) to grant users access to manage Kubernetes resources in IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service clusters. When you configure permissions for IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service in IAM, use the name containers-kubernetes for the API or CLI, and Kubernetes Service for the console.

Service access roles are synchronized with corresponding Kubernetes RBAC policies in a cluster. As such, service access roles grant access to the Kubernetes API, dashboard, and CLI (kubectl). Example actions that are permitted by service access roles include creating app deployments, adding namespaces, or setting up configmaps.

You can scope the policy for service access roles by resource group, region, or cluster instance. Further, you can also scope service access roles to Kubernetes namespaces that are in all, individual, or region-wide clusters. When you scope a service access role to a namespace, you can't apply the policy to a resource group or assign a platform access role at the same time.

If you assigned only service access roles to users, the users must [launch the Kubernetes dashboard from the CLI](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-deploy_appdb_cli) instead of the IBM Cloud console. Otherwise, [give the users the platform Viewer role](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-usersadd_users_cli_platform).





 Overview of RBAC
If a specific role and its actions don't fit the use case that you're looking to address, you can [create a custom role](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-custom-rolescustom-access-roles) and pick the actions to include.

Review the following tables that outline the actions that each role allows within the Container Registry service.



* [Platform management roles](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-iam&interface=uiplatform_management_roles) enable users to perform tasks on service resources at the platform level, for example, assign user access to the service, create or delete instances, and bind instances to applications.
* [Service access roles](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-iam&interface=uiservice_access_roles) enable users access to Container Registry and the ability to call the Container Registry API.



For more information about the exact actions that are mapped to each role, see [IAM roles and actions for Container Registry](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-iam-service-roles-actionscontainer-registry-roles).

For more information about assigning user roles in the UI, see [Managing access to resources](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-assign-access-resources).





 Context-based restrictions 

Container Registry also supports context-based restrictions. You can use context-based restrictions to define and enforce access restrictions for IBM Cloud resources based on the network location of access requests. These restrictions work with traditional IAM policies, which are based on identity, to provide an extra layer of protection.

For more information, see [What are context-based restrictions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-context-restrictions-whatis).

For an example of how to set up context-based restrictions, see the context-based restrictions tutorial [Leveraging context-based restrictions to secure your resources](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-context-restrictions-tutorial).
Note: If you want to build and push the application to your own container registry you can use the Docker CLI to do so. The Dockerfile is provided in the repository and images can be pushed to the Container Registry or any other container registry.



1. Define an environment variable named MYAPP and set the name of the application by replacing the placeholder with your initials:

export MYAPP=<your-initials>kubenodeapp
2. Identify your cluster:

ibmcloud ks cluster ls
3. Initialize the variable with the cluster name:

export MYCLUSTER=<CLUSTER_NAME>
4. Initialize the kubectl cli environment:

ibmcloud ks cluster config --cluster $MYCLUSTER

Make sure the CLI is configured for the region and resource group where your created your cluster using ibmcloud target -r <region> -g <resource_group>. For more information on gaining access to your cluster and to configure the CLI to run kubectl commands, check the [CLI configure](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-cs_cli_installcs_cli_configure) section
5. You can either use the default Kubernetes namespace or create a new namespace for this application.



1. If you want to use the default Kubernetes namespace, run the below command to set an environment variable:

export KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE=default
2. If you want to create a new Kubernetes namespace, follow the steps mentioned under [Copying an existing image pull secret](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registrycopy_imagePullSecret) and [Storing the image pull secret in the Kubernetes service account for the selected namespace](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registrystore_imagePullSecret) sections of the Kubernetes service documentation. Once completed, run the below command:
If you get an unauthorized: authentication required or a denied: requested access to the resource is denied message, run the [ibmcloud cr login](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-containerregclibx_cr_login) command.



After you pull a chart for your [namespace](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-registry_overviewoverview_elements_namespace), you can upload (push) the chart from your local computer to your namespace.





 Pushing Helm charts to your namespace 

You can push (upload) a chart to your namespace in IBM Cloud Container Registry to store and share your chart with other users.

Zoom

![Push a chart from your computer to IBM Cloud Container Registry.](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs-content/v1/content/cbb80bf851fb762a838129cba09d5674f8bfffda/Registry/images/pushing_images_mul.svg)

Figure 2. Pushing charts to your namespace

Before you begin, complete the following tasks.



* [Install the CLI](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-registry_setup_cli_namespacecli_namespace_registry_cli_install) to work with your namespace.
* [Set up your own namespace in IBM Cloud Container Registry](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-registry_setup_cli_namespaceregistry_namespace_setup).
* Install the latest release of [Helm CLI](https://github.com/helm/helm/releases) to work with charts.
* [Pull](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-registry_helm_chartsregistry_helm_charts_pull) or [create](https://helm.sh/docs/chart_template_guide/getting_started/) a chart on your local computer.
Using IAM IP address access restrictions 

You can enable IAM IP address access restrictions when you're using IBM Cloud® Container Registry.

To enable IAM IP address access restrictions, you must ensure that the Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) access list is configured so that the Container Registry OAuth service can still function. The OAuth service is used to authenticate image pulls and pushes in Container Registry.

You must ensure that the IP addresses of any computers that can originate pulls and pushes are added to the IAM IP address access list, see [Allowing specific IP addresses](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/account?topic=account-ips).



  Granting access if you are using a public network 

If you're using IBM Cloud Container Registry over a public network, you must ensure that the Public IP addresses of any computers that can originate pulls and pushes are added to the IAM IP allowlist.





  Granting access if you are using a private network 

If you're using IBM Cloud Container Registry in one of the following scenarios, you must add the private IP addresses of any computers that can originate pulls and pushes to the allowlist.



*  You're using one of the private. domains, for example, private.us.icr.io.
*  You're using an IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster in a [configuration](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registrycluster_registry_auth_private) that automatically talks to the registry over a private connection.
The global registry stores IBM-provided public images, and regional registries store your own private or public images. If your allowlist is IP-based, you can see which IP addresses are opened when you allow access to the IBM Cloud Container Registry regional service endpoints by reviewing [this table](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-firewallfirewall_registry).
6. Verify your connection. The following is an example for the US East and US South regional registry. If access is configured correctly, a message of the day is returned in the output. Note that if there are no messages, a 204 is returned.

curl -i https://us.icr.io/api/v1/messages







 Running oc commands from behind an allowlist 

If corporate network policies prevent access from your local system to public endpoints via proxies or allowlists, to run oc commands, you must allow TCP access for the cluster.

When a cluster is created, the port in the service endpoint URLs is randomly assigned from within 30000-32767. You can either choose to open port range 30000-32767 for any cluster that might get created or you can choose to allow access for a specific existing cluster.

Before you begin, allow access to [run ibmcloud oc commands](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-vpc-firewallvpc-firewall_bx).

To allow access for a specific cluster:



1. Log in to the IBM Cloud CLI. Enter your IBM Cloud credentials when prompted. If you have a federated account, include the --sso option.

ibmcloud login [--sso]
2. If the cluster is in a resource group other than default, target that resource group. To see the resource group that each cluster belongs to, run ibmcloud oc cluster ls.
You can add the image pull secret to the service account for the namespace, or refer to the secret in each deployment. For instructions, see [Using the image pull secret to deploy containers](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registryuse_imagePullSecret).

Image pull secrets are valid only for the Kubernetes namespaces that they were created for. Repeat these steps for every namespace where you want to deploy containers. Images from [DockerHub](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registrydockerhub) don't require image pull secrets.

Before you begin:



1. [Set up a namespace in IBM Cloud Container Registry and push images to this namespace](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-getting-startedgs_registry_namespace_add).
2. [Create a Kubernetes cluster](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-clusters).
3. [Log in to your account. If applicable, target the appropriate resource group. Set the context for your cluster.](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-access_cluster)



To use your own image pull secret, choose among the following options:



* [Copy the image pull secret](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registrycopy_imagePullSecret) from the default Kubernetes namespace to other namespaces in your cluster.
* [Create new IAM API key credentials and store them in an image pull secret](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registryother_registry_accounts) to access images in other IBM Cloud accounts or to apply IAM policies that restrict access to certain registry domains or namespaces.
* [Create an image pull secret to access images in external private registries](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/containers?topic=containers-registryprivate_images).
For available domains, see [Local regions](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-registry_overviewregistry_regions).

--docker-username iamapikey
: Required. Enter the username to log in to your private registry. If you use IBM Cloud Container Registry, enter iamapikey.

--docker-password <token_value>
: Required. Enter the value of your API Key that you previously retrieved.

--docker-email <docker-email>
: Required. If you have one, enter your Docker email address. If you don't, enter a fictional email address, such as a@b.c. This email is required to create a Kubernetes secret, but is not used after creation.
7. Verify that the secret was created successfully. Replace <project> with the project where you created the image pull secret.

oc get secrets --namespace <project>
8. [Add the image pull secret to a Kubernetes service account so that any pod in the project can use the image pull secret when you deploy a container](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-registryuse_imagePullSecret).







 Accessing images that are stored in other private registries 

If you already have a private registry, you must store the registry credentials in a Kubernetes image pull secret and reference this secret from your configuration file.

Before you begin:



1. [Create a Red Hat OpenShift cluster](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-clusters).
2. [Access your Red Hat OpenShift cluster](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-access_cluster).



To create an image pull secret:



1. Create the Kubernetes secret to store your private registry credentials.
You can also use access groups to apply policies to IDs.
3. (Optional) If you want to upgrade the account to use IAM access policy authorization at a more convenient time, rather than on the date of the change, run the [ibmcloud cr iam-policies-enable](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-containerregclibx_cr_iam_policies_enable) command.

This change cannot be reversed.

This change applies to the currently targeted region only. Remember to check all regions where you have Container Registry namespaces.







 What if I did not implement the changes in time? 

To recover any access that is lost, follow the steps in [Prepare for the changes](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-registry_notices_iam_policynotices_iam_policy_prepare).
To access this domain, you must create an image pull secret with an entitlement key for your cluster and add this image pull secret to the Kubernetes service account of each project where you want to deploy this entitled software.

Before you begin: [Access your Red Hat OpenShift cluster](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-access_cluster).



1. Get the entitlement key for your entitled software library.



1. Log in to [MyIBM.com](https://myibm.ibm.com) and scroll to the Container software library section. Click View library.
2. From the Access your container software > Entitlement keys page, click Copy key. This key authorizes access to all the entitled software in your container software library.



2. In the project that you want to deploy your entitled containers, create an image pull secret so that you can access the cp.icr.io entitled registry. Use the entitlement key that you previously retrieved as the --docker-password value. For more information, see [Accessing images that are stored in other private registries](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-registryprivate_images).

oc create secret docker-registry entitled-cp-icr-io --docker-server=cp.icr.io --docker-username=cp --docker-password=<entitlement_key> --docker-email=<docker_email> -n <project>
3. Add the image pull secret to the service account of the namespace so that any container in the project can use the entitlement key to pull entitled images. For more information, see [Using the image pull secret to deploy containers](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openshift?topic=openshift-registryuse_imagePullSecret).
