Missing documentation on how to redeploy broken registry.

[Firstyear]

Missing documentation on how to redeploy broken registry. An openshift install shows the following output.

oc status svc/docker-registry - 172.30.61.89:5000 dc/docker-registry deploys registry.access.redhat.com/openshift3/ose-docker-registry:v1.2.1 deployment #1 failed 2 hours ago

But the registry says it's working

openshift admin registry Docker registry "docker-registry" service exists

oc get svc NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE docker-registry 172.30.61.89 5000/TCP 2h kubernetes 172.30.0.1 443/TCP,53/UDP,53/TCP 4d router 172.30.48.169 80/TCP,443/TCP,1936/TCP 1h

There is not documentation about how to redeploy or rebuild a broken registry. This is causing new container builds to fail.

Version

oc v1.2.1 kubernetes v1.2.0-36-g4a3f9c5

Additional Information

[Note] Running diagnostic: ClusterRegistry Description: Check that there is a working Docker registry

ERROR: [DClu1006 from diagnostic ClusterRegistry@openshift/origin/pkg/diagnostics/cluster/registry.go:203] The "docker-registry" service exists but has no associated pods, so it is not available. Builds and deployments that use the registry will fail.

ERROR: [DClu1001 from diagnostic ClusterRegistry@openshift/origin/pkg/diagnostics/cluster/registry.go:173] The "docker-registry" service exists but no pods currently running, so it is not available. Builds and deployments that use the registry will fail.

yes, even i am facing the same issue, can someone please help

[gregswift]

fwiw i had the same or similar issue... I dont recall what lead to it but here is how i solved it.

Deleted everything related to the docker-registry deployment. The service, router, deployments (all of the failed ones), and the service. Then I ran

oc deploy docker-registry --latest -n default

That errored because of a few existing things, primarily the service account, but the registry itself came up.

A note to myself for documenting this.

A deployment config needs to be re-created after service. Otherwise, the registry pod will lack environment variables

${DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVICE_HOST}
${DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVICE_PORT}

To test it:

$ oc rsh dc/docker-registry bash -c 'echo ${DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVICE_HOST}:${DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVICE_PORT}'
172.30.30.30:5000
# If a pod is started before the service exists, it will look like this
$ oc rsh dc/docker-registry bash -c 'echo ${DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVICE_HOST}:${DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVICE_PORT}'
:

If undefined, DOCKER_REGISTRY_URL will be empty, causing following problems:

Update: since 3.9, the following will be printed if the variables aren't set:

level=fatal msg="error parsing configuration file: configuration error in openshift.server.addr: REGISTRY_OPENSHIFT_SERVER_ADDR variable must be set when running outside of Kubernetes cluster"

I got it resolved by modifying below line in YAML playbook and re-compile the OSO.

[nodes] master.example.com openshift_node_labels=" {'region':'infra','zone':'default'}" openshift_schedulable=true

openshift_schedulable=true is the important parameter which is not letting the registry pod spawn (if sets to "false" ) in case you have single node in infra region.

Once done, it took couple of mins to make my OSO registry working.

What works for me is the following oc rollout latest docker-registry

@walidshaari thanks, you helped me out, your command worked for me 👍

The doc work I started needs a rewrite. But the registry operator will change things in a way that all guidance will become obsolete. This could be resolved with a documentation for the operator.
