I am in the process of deploying a containerized application that is created from an image stored in a private registry that requires authentication to access.
Since I am using Ansible 2.9.14 I must use the authfile property as this is the only available parameter for providing credentials to podman pull command in that version.
This Ansible failed to pull the image, so I ran the command issued by Ansible manually to try and debug the issue.
The relevant command issued was:
podman pull --tls-verify=false --authfile=/some/auth.json some.local.registry:12345/image:tag
When run, command finishes with an error
Error: unable to pull <image>: Error initializing source <image path>: Error reading manifest latest in <image path>: unauthorized: authentication required
Upon getting that error, I tried to run the pull command with --creds parameter instead of --authfile and unsurprisingly that command completed successfully.
My question now is: has anyone encountered a similar problem before or is there some implementation specific functionality that causes podman to not use the provided auth file?
Thank you!
