Subscription channel for Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management operator

External Registry Configuration¶

This parameter specifies the URL of an external container registry for disconnected or air-gapped OpenShift installations. When set, the cluster will use this registry instead of Red Hat's public registries.

Requirements¶

Must be a valid container registry URL
Registry must be accessible from all cluster nodes
Must have sufficient storage for OpenShift images
Must support both HTTP and HTTPS
Must have required OpenShift images mirrored

Usage¶

Configure the registry URL:

# Example formats:
registry.example.com             # Standard hostname
registry.example.com:5000        # Custom port
192.168.1.100:5000              # IP address

# Registry will serve:
- OpenShift release images
- Red Hat core images
- UBI base images
- OpenShift serverless images
- Service mesh images

Notes: - Required for disconnected installations - Works with openshift/external-registry-create - Used by openshift/external-registry-update - Affects install-config.yaml generation - Requires proper certificates and authentication
