Creating password protected Docker Proxy registries

[Thulium-Drake]

Hi there!

We need to integrate container images from an external password protected registry. In the Nexus WebUI I can configure the credentials needed in the section below:

However, I was not able to find a means in the scripting the role provides to do this. Is this supported? If so, how? :-)

If not, what should be changed to make it work?

Hi @Thulium-Drake

You can set the remote_username and remote_password properties on your docker proxy repo definition. Like this:

nexus_repos_docker_proxy:
  - name: some-docker-proxy
    blob_store: docker-blob
    remote_url: https://some-private-registry.dev/
    remote_username: 'secret-username'
    remote_password: "{{ vault_alfresco_secret_password }}"

Note that currently only Username is supported for authentication type. Windows NTLM is not support at this time.

Awesome, thanks! Did I miss that in the docs? 👀

@Thulium-Drake nope you did not. This is not documented in the README.md
Feel free to add this :-) I would suggest to add it after line
