Create an image pull Secret with `oc`

Create an image pull Secret with oc to allow Dev Workspace Pods to access container registries that require authentication.

Before you begin

You have an active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster. See This page is not included, but the link has been rewritten to point to the nearest parent document.Getting started with the CLI.

Procedure

In your user project, create an image pull Secret with your private container registry details and credentials:

$ oc create secret docker-registry <Secret_name> \
    --docker-server=<registry_server> \
    --docker-username=<username> \
    --docker-password=<password> \
    --docker-email=<email_address>

Add the required labels to the image pull Secret:

$ oc label secret <Secret_name> controller.devfile.io/devworkspace_pullsecret=true controller.devfile.io/watch-secret=true

Results

Verify the Secret exists and has the required labels:
```
$ oc get secret <Secret_name> --show-labels
```
