Configuring insecure (http) private docker registry with halyard in spinnaker

Question

I'm able to configure public docker hub registry using below halyard command, however while trying to use the same command to configure a privately hosted docker registry (insecure) I'm facing the below error.

hal config provider docker-registry account add private-docker-registry 
    --address <privateIP>:5000 
    --repositories <privateIP>:5000/<imagename> 
    --username <user> 
    --password


+ Get current deployment
  Success
- Add the private-docker-registry account
  Failure
Problems in
  default.provider.dockerRegistry.private-docker-registry:
! ERROR Unable to reach repository: Unrecognized SSL message,
  plaintext connection?.

Answer 1

Add this flag --insecure-registry=true
