In some cases, you may need to run an additional pod alongside the main pod — for example, for debugging purposes—or an additional init container, for instance, to establish a connection to external services like HashiCorp Vault or HashiCorp Consul.
When using a Docker image from a private registry, you'll need to configure imagePullPolicy
and imagePullSecrets
to access the private registry from Kubernetes. This article explains how to configure these settings in the HiveMQ Platform Operator Helm chart.
\uD83D\uDCD8 Instructions
There are two options for configuring pullPolicy
and pullSecretName
: globally at the HiveMQ Platform Operator level or at the HiveMQ Platforms' level.
Option 1: Define global
pullPolicy and pullSecretName
in the Platform Operator, then they are applied to all managed HiveMQ Platforms.HiveMQ Platform Operator Helm chart:
image: repository: docker.io/hivemq name: hivemq-platform-operator tag: 1.5.0 initImageName: hivemq-platform-operator-init pullPolicy: IfNotPresent pullSecretName: ""
Option 2: Configure
pullPolicy
andpullSecret
in the HiveMQ Platformimage:
section, and they apply to all containers, including sidecars and init containers.HiveMQ Platform values.yaml
# HiveMQ Platform container image configuration image: repository: docker.io/hivemq name: hivemq4 tag: 4.31.0 pullPolicy: IfNotPresent <-- applied to all containers pullSecretName: "" <-- applied to all containers
