Description

Please, answer some short questions which should help us to understand your problem / question better?

  • Which image of the operator are you using? e.g. registry.opensource.zalan.do/acid/postgres-operator:v1.8.2
  • v1.8.2
  • Where do you run it - cloud or metal? Kubernetes or OpenShift? [AWS K8s | GCP ... | Bare Metal K8s]
  • Bare Metal K8s
  • Are you running Postgres Operator in production? [yes | no]
  • no
  • Type of issue? [Bug report, question, feature request, etc.]
  • feature request

When override the default spilo docker_image parameter there is no option to provide any imagePullSecrets for fetching this image. As a result, if you try to pull from a private registry then the Postgres pods end up in ImagePullBackOff

Research direction

Start by tracing how the docker_image parameter is handled when the operator creates PostgreSQL pods, then inspect where Kubernetes image pull configuration is assembled. Done means a custom private Spilo image can be pulled with supplied imagePullSecrets instead of leaving pods in ImagePullBackOff; add or update coverage for that configuration if the repository provides a relevant test location.
