Get Docker Images

Docker images are available in Edifecs Docker Registry in Google Cloud Repository (GCR). To get access to the Edifecs Docker Registry, contact Edifecs Customer Support to get the necessary credentials (key.json file).

As a result, you get an email with instructions that show how to:

  • authenticate in Edifecs Docker Registry in GCR,
  • pull Docker images from the registry,
  • create a Kubernetes secret to allow the access to the Edifecs registry from your Kubernetes cluster.

Follow the instructions in the email to pull images from GCR.

You have been granted access to Edifecs Docker Registry!

To pull Edifecs Docker images, please copy-paste the italicized text below into key.json and store the file in a secure location (previously issued credentials are now inactive):

{"auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"…"}

 

Sample usage (Linux):

1. User authentication using the key.json file from above:

cat key.json | docker login -u _json_key --password-stdin https://us.gcr.io

2. Pulling image:

docker pull us.gcr.io/edifecs/test-image:latest

3. Creating a Kubernetes secret for automated Docker registry access by pods:

a. Create a file, edifecs-registry-key.yml, with the following contents in a secure location:

apiVersion: v1

data:

.dockerconfigjson: eyJhdXRocyI6IHsidXMuZ2NyLmlvIjogeyJlb...

kind: Secret

metadata:

name: edifecs-registry-key

type: kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson

b. Execute:

kubectl apply -f edifecs-registry-key.yml

c. You can delete the edifecs-registry-key.yml file

Init Containers

Several containers (XEngine, ECL, HIPAA, HL7, and other standards) run in a Kubernetes cluster as Init Containers - they are special containers that run before others. This design allows you to smoothly update a running container version (for example, an ECL version) without stopping all other containers .
