Configuring a Github Packages Registry

You can use a Github Packages registry to host your container images, in case your cluster doesn’t provide a default registry.

Login to Github, then navigate to Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens. Create a new token with the following permissions:

  • repo (all)

  • write:packages

  • read:packages

  • delete:packages

Take note of the personal access token, you’ll use it during installation. You also need to choose a github repository for hosting your images.

To configure Camel K, install it using the following command:

kamel install --registry docker.pkg.github.com --organization github-user/repository --registry-auth-username github-user-id --registry-auth-password github-token

The --registry-auth-username and --registry-auth-password flags are used by the kamel CLI to create a Kubernetes secret that holds your credentials for authenticating against the Docker registry.

In the general case, the --registry-auth-server should be used, but it can be omitted for Github because it’s equal to the registry by default (docker.pkg.github.com).

You’re now ready to publish your integration. Images will be automatically published to Github Packages.
