How I can add root CA to minikube?

Question

My company uses it\'s own root CA and when I\'m trying to pull images. Even from a private registry I\'m getting error:

1h 3m 22 {kubelet miniku

Answer 1

A straight forward way to do this independent from minikube would be to use a imagePullSecrets configuration. As documented in the Pulling an Image from a Private Registry guide, you can create a Secret and use that along with your image like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: demo-pod
spec:
  containers:
    - name: private-container
      image: 
  imagePullSecrets:
    - name: the_secret

Where the the_secret could be created with:

kubectl create secret docker-registry the_secret --docker-server=xxx --docker-username=xxx --docker-password=xxx --docker-email=xxx

Or with:

kubectl create secret generic the_secret --from-file=.docker/config.json

Or with anything else which is related to kubectl create secret - see documentation for details.

Edit: Even in the official minikube documentation you'll find that they use Secrets along with the registry-creds addon.

You'll find the generic documentation here and the documentation for the addon here.

It burns down to:

minikube addons enable registry-creds

But technically it does the same as described above.
