OpenShift: Updating ImageContentSourcePolicy to mirror API Connect images from icr.io

Update references to API Connect product images hosted on docker.io to point to icr.io instead.

About this task

API Connect is changing product image hosting services from docker.io to icr.io. API Connect images on docker.io are available but are subject to Docker rate-limiting terms after Dec 31, 2022.

Updating product image references for a connected deployment

To prevent rate-limiting issues, update your cluster's ImageContentSourcePolicy to mirror API Connect images from icr.io/cpopen instead of docker.io/ibmcom.

About this task

Complete the following steps to create or update the cluster's ImageContentSourcePolicy and configure it to pull API Connect images from icr.io/cpopen.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the OpenShift cluster UI as an administrator of your cluster.
  2. Click Administration > Cluster Settings > ImageContentSourcePolicy.
  3. Create or edit an ImageContentSourcePolicy called ibm-apiconnect; use the YAML tab to edit the settings directly.
  4. In the ImageContentSourcePolicy's spec section, add the repositoryDigestMirrors subsection to configure the cluster to pull images from icr.io/cpopen instead of docker.io/ibmcom.

    Example:

    apiVersion: operator.openshift.io/v1alpha1
kind: ImageContentSourcePolicy
metadata:
  name: ibm-apiconnect
spec:
  repositoryDigestMirrors:
  - mirrors:
      - icr.io/cpopen
    source: docker.io/ibmcom
