+title:  "K8S private gitlab registry using podman"
+date:   2021-12-28
+tags: ['kubernetes', 'linux', 'podman', 'gitlab', 'k3s]
+---
+
+This is based on [[https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/pull-image-private-registry/][Log in to Docker Hub]].
+It is just a bit different to use podman
+
+First we should take a look at podman-login man page:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+man podman login
+#+END_SRC
+
+It will give some valueable information like the location of auth.json file.
+Now we can login using podman:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+podman login registry.gitlab.com
+#+END_SRC
+
+Then check the ~auth.json~ file located at 
+~${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json~ (as described by the manual).
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+cat "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}/containers/auth.json"
+#+END_SRC
+
+It will print your auth config:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC json
+{
+	"auths": {
+		"registry.gitlab.com": {
+			"auth": "..."
+		}
+	}
+}
+#+END_SRC
+
+Now copy that file over to the server and register it in k8s with the following command:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC bash
+kubectl create secret generic regcred \
+    --from-file=.dockerconfigjson=auth.json \
+    --type=kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson
+#+END_SRC
+
+Once you have created you can list by ~kubectl get secret~:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC
+NAME                                                    TYPE                                  DATA   AGE
+regcred                                                 kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson        1      53s
+#+END_SRC
+
