Relay installation script does not provide option for private registry

General

Hello everyone,

I want (or… have to) to use some relays in Azure. I am expected to use only images from “our
own” registry and thus have also an ACR in Azure.

I pushed the checkmk-relay image into there, but the install_relay.sh script does not
provide any option to specify a different registry or credentials for it.

I have modified it and changed the variable at the beginning to use our ACR, but it
does also need authentication to pull from it. So I added another variable, and
extended the podman command with the --creds option.

This works, but… it’s a hack. I can share my modifications if
anyone is interested in them.

Perhaps it would make sense to extend this script accordingly for future versions.

HTH and FYI,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for reaching out!
As you mention for now this is a bit of a hack. In this setup you need to ensure manually that your site and Relay versions are in sync. Otherwise, it can happen that the site pushes a configuration to the Relay that Relay cannot handle.

We consider supporting this case officially going forward. At this point in time I cannot promise you a specific date or timeframe when that will be the case.
