Kubernetes w/Docker For Windows: How to reference private registry?

I'm using docker for windows on my local laptop, and I'm trying to mimic a dev installation of kubernetes by using the "run kubernetes' setting on the same laptop. One thing that's awkward is the docker registry. I have a docker registry container running in-cluster that I can push to no problem from the laptop, but when the docker-for-windows kubernetes controller needs to 'pull' an image, I'm not sure how to reference the registry: I've tried referencing the registry using the laptops netbios name, with various DNS suffixes, but it doesn't seem to work.

Is there a way I can accomplish this?

kubernetes docker

You would use the internal cluster DNS, as managed by the Service object you probably created for the registry. All Services are available inside the cluster via $name.$namespace.svc.cluster.local (technically cluster.local is the cluster domain however this is the default and most common value by far).

in kubernetes create a secret, called regsecret for example,

kubectl create secret docker-registry regsecret --docker-username=<your-name> --docker-password=<your-pword> --docker-email=<your-email>

Creating a Pod that uses your Secret

Here is a configuration file for a Pod that needs access to your secret data:

{% include code.html language="yaml" file="private-reg-pod.yaml" ghlink="/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/private-reg-pod.yaml" %}

Copy the contents of private-reg-pod.yaml to your own file named my-private-reg-pod.yaml. In your file, replace with the path to an image in a private repository.

Example Docker Hub private image:

janedoe/jdoe-private:v1

To pull the image from the private repository, Kubernetes needs credentials. The imagePullSecrets field in the configuration file specifies that Kubernetes should get the credentials from a Secret named regsecret.

Create a Pod that uses your Secret, and verify that the Pod is running:

kubectl create -f my-private-reg-pod.yaml
kubectl get pod private-reg
