Issue/Introduction

You are trying to get the Broadcom Docker Registry working in your Kubernetes. You gave your docker login Token from the downloads part of the Portal. 

The documentation tells You to do the following: 

 kubectl -n <NAMESPACE> create secret docker-registry
netops-docker-registry --docker-server=<REGISTRY_URL>
--docker-username=<REGISTRY_USER>
--docker-password=<REGISTRY_PASSWORD> --docker-email=<ANY_EMAIL>

So the token is no longer needed? 

The documentation is also missing the URL for the exposed registry from Broadcom;

Can you tell me please, which credentials and which registry URL to use? 

Environment

DX NetOps Flow

Resolution

1. The registry URL is common to all products:

netops-docker.packages.broadcom.com

2. The token is still needed and you can generate one under Docket icon in Support Portal  (Downloads / Network Observability ) after logging in with your email and password.

3. When following the docs:

global.imageRegistry and global.dockerHubProxy
Both must be set to netops-docker.packages.broadcom.com

4. To create the secret you have to issue this command in your kubernetes namespace, the same where you plan to deploy NetOps Flow

kubectl -n <NAMESPACE> create secret docker-registry
netops-docker-registry --docker-server=<REGISTRY_URL>
--docker-username=<REGISTRY_USER>
--docker-password=<REGISTRY_PASSWORD> --docker-email=<ANY_EMAIL>
<REGISTRY_USER> is the email of the user in the Support Portal
 
<REGISTRY_PASSWORD> is the token issued in the Support Portal
 
<REGISTRY_URL> = netops-docker.packages.broadcom.com
 
<ANY_EMAIL> is any email
 
Note:
in the command above, the secret is named netops-docker-registry so the parameter global.imagePullSecrets must be set like global.imagePullSecrets[0].name=netops-docker-registry
