Creating a Kubernetes Secret for the Container Registry

7.2 Creating a Kubernetes Secret for the Container Registry

Create a Kubernetes secret to stores the credentials for the container registry where the Oracle Unified Directory Services Manager (OUDSM) image is stored. This step must be followed if using Oracle Container Registry or your own private container registry. If you are not using a container registry and have loaded the images on each of the worker nodes, you can skip this step.

Run the following command to create the secret:
```
kubectl create secret docker-registry "orclcred" --docker-server=<CONTAINER_REGISTRY> \
--docker-username="<USER_NAME>" \
--docker-password=<PASSWORD> --docker-email=<EMAIL_ID> \
--namespace=<domain_namespace>
```
For example, if using Oracle Container Registry:
```
kubectl create secret docker-registry "orclcred" --docker-server=container-registry.oracle.com \
--docker-username="user@example.com" \
--docker-password=password --docker-email=user@example.com \
--namespace=oudsmns
```
Replace <USER_NAME> and <PASSWORD> with the credentials for the registry with the following caveats:
- If using Oracle Container Registry to pull the OUDSM container image, this is the username and password used to login to Oracle Container Registry. Before you can use this image you must login to Oracle Container Registry, navigate to Middleware > oudsm and accept the license agreement. For future releases (post March 2025) that contain the latest Patch Set Update (PSU) and other fixes released with the Critical Patch Update (CPU) program, you should navigate to Middleware > oudsm_cpu.
- If using your own container registry to store the OUDSM container image, this is the username and password (or token) for your container registry.
The output will look similar to the following:
```
secret/orclcred created
```
