How to add the private registry to Rancher desktop on windows?

[VatthanachaiW]

Hi All,

I have some questions about login in or setting up the private registry to the Rancher Desktop on the Windows Platform.
Could you please help me with this?

Thank you very much.

You can start deploying the private registry in kubernetes, e.g like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ReplicationController
metadata:
  name: kube-registry-v0
  namespace: kube-system
  labels:
    k8s-app: kube-registry
    version: v0
spec:
  replicas: 1
  selector:
    k8s-app: kube-registry
    version: v0
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        k8s-app: kube-registry
        version: v0
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: registry
          image: registry:2
          resources:
            limits:
              cpu: 100m
              memory: 200Mi
          env:
            - name: REGISTRY_HTTP_ADDR
              value: :5000
            - name: REGISTRY_STORAGE_FILESYSTEM_ROOTDIRECTORY
              value: /var/lib/registry
          volumeMounts:
            - name: image-store
              mountPath: /var/lib/registry
          ports:
            - containerPort: 5000
              name: registry
              protocol: TCP
      volumes:
        - name: image-store
          hostPath:
            path: /var/lib/registry-storage
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: kube-registry
  namespace: kube-system
  labels:
    k8s-app: kube-registry
    kubernetes.io/name: "KubeRegistry"
spec:
  selector:
    k8s-app: kube-registry
  ports:
    - name: registry
      port: 5000
      targetPort: 5000
      protocol: TCP
  type: LoadBalancer

just save this one as a file and call kubectl apply -f <file>

Then open the rancher-desktop WSL shell and modify the content of the file /etc/rancher/k3s/registries.yaml to:

mirrors:
  "<hostname>:5000":
    endpoint:
      - "http://<hostname>:5000"

where hostname is your machine hostname.
