Using private docker registries

We currently use the docker image drone/drone:1.0.0-rc.5-linux-amd64.

We have been trying to find how to use images from a private docker registry, but to our surprise, it seems to be quite difficult to achieve. even though we would expect this to be one of the first things implemented in an open source CI system that focuses exclusively on Docker.

We found two workaround but haven’t succeeded yet:

Is there any update on this subject as of v1.0.0-rc.5, or is this feature intended to be only available to enterprise users ?

It is actually pretty easy. You create a secret called .dockerconfigjson that contains a valid docker/config.json file that can be used to authenticate.

It’s weird we couldn’t find your other post, as we searched the web for a couple of hours yesterday. It seems that most documentation indexed by Google is still only applicable to 0.8.

PS: Thanks a lot for the quick answer, it’s good to see this project evolve so quickly and offer so many interesting features. Great work, great achievements, great open source spirit !
