Container Image Registry Settings - credentials

[cyrus-mc]

I am trying to set container registry credentials via userdata. The docs say do you the apiclient but since I need the credentials in place for the bootstrap container I can't set it once the system is up and running.

My userdata contains:

[settings.container-registry.credentials]
[
  {
    "registry": "ghcr.io",
    "auth": "xxxxxxx"
  }
]

Where xxx is the base64 encoded username:github_token.

The system doesn't boot so I am assuming it is hanging on trying to pull the bootstrap container. Given the box doesn't boot I am somewhat stuck at trying to troubleshoot. Any assistance would be appreciated.

So I tested a few more things. I took away the bootstrap container (so no need to pull) and the image still failed to boot successfully. I then removed the settings.container-registry.credentials block completely and it booted fine. So it appears my format above for specifying the creds is incorrect.

Ok, think I figured it out. Just needed to read a little closer and look to the example for mirrors above.

[[settings.container-registry.credentials]]
"registry" = "ghcr.io"
"auth" = "xxxx"

Is the format. And then just repeat this block for additional registries.
