Minikube: Not able to access a private repo

[dmitrievav]

This is a BUG REPORT

Minikube version v0.20.0

Environment:

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):
  MacOS Sierra

• VM Driver (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep DriverName):
  "DriverName": "virtualbox"

• ISO version (e.g. cat ~/.minikube/machines/minikube/config.json | grep -i ISO or minikube ssh cat /etc/VERSION):
  "Boot2DockerURL": "file:///Users/REDACTED/.minikube/cache/iso/minikube-v0.20.0.iso"

• Install tools:

• Others:

What happened:

when I create a new deployment with UI,
minikube is not able to pull image from a private repo and says:

Failed to pull image "registry.REDACTED.io/REDACTED:17.07": rpc error: code = 2 desc = unauthorized: authentication required Error syncing pod, skipping: failed to "StartContainer" for "REDACTED" with ErrImagePull: "rpc error: code = 2 desc = unauthorized: authentication required"

things were done but did not help:

1. kubectl create secret docker-registry regsecret ...
2. docker login -u REDACTED -p REDACTED registry.REDACTED.io (as root and docker user inside minikube VM)

What you expected to happen:

image should be successfully pulled

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

create a new deployment with UI which will use an private docker registry.

Anything else do we need to know:

when I am logged in to minikube VM by minikube ssh command,
I am able to pull images manually by docker pull command.

we can close this issue.
thing I forgot to do was:

spec: imagePullSecrets: - name: regsecret

My issue was that I had a wrong format of the secret:

It has to be:

{"auths":{"https://test.com/v2/":{"username": … … …

But I only had {"auths":{"test.com":{"username": … … …

So make sure to have the https:// and /v2/ part.
