Enable Authentication with Htpasswd for Kube-Registry

Docker registry support a few authentication providers. Full list of supported provider can be found here. This document describes how to enable authentication with htpasswd for kube-registry.

Prepare Htpasswd Secret

Please generate your own htpasswd file. Assuming the file you generated is htpasswd. Creating secret to hold htpasswd...

$ kubectl --namespace=kube-system create secret generic registry-auth-secret --from-file=htpasswd=htpasswd

Run Registry

Please be noted that this sample rc is using emptyDir as storage backend for simplicity.

        emptyDir: {}
      - name: auth-dir
        secret:
          secretName: registry-auth-secret

No changes are needed for other components (kube-registry service and proxy).

To Verify

Setup proxy or port-forwarding to the kube-registry. Image push/pull should fail without authentication. Then use docker login to authenticate with kube-registry and see if it works.

Configure Nodes to Authenticate with Kube-Registry

By default, nodes assume no authentication is required by kube-registry. Without authentication, nodes cannot pull images from kube-registry. To solve this, more documentation can be found Here
