Configuring Container Registry

Overview

By default the CD system will publish the builds to GitHub Container Registry. Sometimes it’s necessary to publish the builds to a different container registry. This can be done by creating the following GitHub variables and secrets:

• Variables:

  • REGISTRY (e.g. quay.io)

  • REGISTRY_NAMESPACE (e.g. <username>)

• Secrets:

  • REGISTRY_USERNAME (e.g. robot account name)

  • REGISTRY_PASSWORD (e.g. robot account token)

To reset the configuration simply remove the variables and secrets.

Availability: Since PKI 11.4
