Deploy MySQL from private Docker registry
KubeDB operator supports using private Docker registry. This tutorial will show you how to use KubeDB to run MySQL database using private Docker images.
Before You Begin
Read concept of MySQL Version Catalog to learn detail concepts of
MySQLVersionobject.You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster. If you do not already have a cluster, you can create one by using kind.
You will also need a docker private registry or private repository. In this tutorial we will use private repository of docker hub.
You have to push the required images from KubeDB’s Docker hub account into your private registry. For mysql, push
DB_IMAGE,EXPORTER_IMAGE,REPLICATION_MODE_DETECTOR_IMAGE(only required for Group Replication),INITCONTAINER_IMAGEof following MySQLVersions, wheredeprecatedis not true, to your private registry.
$ kubectl get mysqlversions -n kube-system -o=custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,VERSION:.spec.version,DB_IMAGE:.spec.db.image,EXPORTER_IMAGE:.spec.exporter.image,REPLICATION_MODE_DETECTOR_IMAGE:.spec.replicationModeDetector.image,INITCONTAINER_IMAGE:.spec.initContainer.image,DEPRECATED:.spec.deprecated

Docker hub repositories:
Update KubeDB catalog for private Docker registry. Ex:
apiVersion: catalog.kubedb.com/v1alpha1
kind: MySQLVersion
metadata:
name: 8.0.35
spec:
coordinator:
image: PRIVATE_REGISTRY/mysql-coordinator:v0.4.0-2-g49a2d26-dirty_linux_amd64
db:

exporter:

initContainer:

restoreTask:

updateConstraints:
denylist:
groupReplication:

version: 8.0.35
To keep things isolated, this tutorial uses a separate namespace called
demothroughout this tutorial. Run the following command to prepare your cluster for this tutorial:$ kubectl create ns demo namespace/demo created
Create ImagePullSecret
ImagePullSecrets is a type of a Kubernete Secret whose sole purpose is to pull private images from a Docker registry. It allows you to specify the url of the docker registry, credentials for logging in and the image name of your private docker image.
Run the following command, substituting the appropriate uppercase values to create an image pull secret for your private Docker registry:
$ kubectl create secret docker-registry -n demo myregistrykey \
--docker-server=DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER \
--docker-username=DOCKER_USER \
--docker-email=DOCKER_EMAIL \
--docker-password=DOCKER_PASSWORD
secret/myregistrykey created
If you wish to follow other ways to pull private images see official docs of Kubernetes.
NB: If you are using kubectl 1.9.0, update to 1.9.1 or later to avoid this issue.
Install KubeDB operator
When installing KubeDB operator, set the flags --docker-registry and --image-pull-secret to appropriate value. Follow the steps to install KubeDB operator properly in cluster so that to points to the DOCKER_REGISTRY you wish to pull images from.
Deploy MySQL database from Private Registry
While deploying MySQL from private repository, you have to add myregistrykey secret in MySQL spec.imagePullSecrets.
Below is the MySQL CRD object we will create.
apiVersion: kubedb.com/v1
kind: MySQL
metadata:
name: mysql-pvt-reg
namespace: demo
spec:
version: "8.0.35"
storage:
storageClassName: "standard"
accessModes:
- ReadWriteOnce
resources:
requests:
storage: 1Gi
podTemplate:
spec:
imagePullSecrets:
- name: myregistrykey
Now run the command to deploy this MySQL object:
$ kubectl create -f https://github.com/kubedb/docs/raw/v2024.11.18/docs/guides/mysql/private-registry/yamls/standalone.yaml
mysql.kubedb.com/mysql-pvt-reg created
To check if the images pulled successfully from the repository, see if the MySQL is in running state:
$ kubectl get pods -n demo
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
mysql-pvt-reg-0 1/1 Running 0 56s
Cleaning up
To cleanup the Kubernetes resources created by this tutorial, run:
kubectl patch -n demo mysql/mysql-pvt-reg -p '{"spec":{"deletionPolicy":"WipeOut"}}' --type="merge"
kubectl delete -n demo mysql/mysql-pvt-reg
kubectl patch -n demo drmn/mysql-pvt-reg -p '{"spec":{"wipeOut":true}}' --type="merge"
kubectl delete -n demo drmn/mysql-pvt-reg
kubectl delete ns demo
