Advanced Project Quay configuration

You can configure your Project Quay after initial deployment using several different interfaces:

The Project Quay Config Tool: Running the quay container in config mode presents a Web-based interface for configuring the Project Quay cluster. This is the recommended method for most configuration of the Project Quay service itself.
Editing the config.yaml: The config.yaml file holds most of the configuration information for the Project Quay cluster. Editing that file directly is possible, but it is only recommended for advanced tuning and performance features that are not available through the Config Tool.
Project Quay API: Some Project Quay configuration can be done through the API.

While configuration for specific features is covered in separate sections, this section describes how to use each of those interfaces and perform some more advanced configuration.

Using Project Quay Config Tool to modify Project Quay

The Project Quay Config Tool is made available by running a quay container in config mode alongside the regular Project Quay service. Running the Config Tool is different for Project Quay clusters running on OpenShift than it is for those running directly on host systems.

Running the Config Tool from the Project Quay Operator

If you are running the Project Quay Operator from OpenShift, the Config Tool is probably already available for you to use. To access the Config Tool, do the following:

From the OpenShift console, select the project in which Project Quay is running. For example, quay-enterprise.
From the left column, select Networking → Routes. You should see routes to both the Project Quay application and Config Tool, as shown in the following image:
Select the route to the Config Tool (for example, example-quayecosystem-quay-config) and select it. The Config tool Web UI should open in your browser.
Select Modify configuration for this cluster. You should see the Config Tool, ready for you to change features of your Project Quay cluster, as shown in the following image:
When you have made the changes you want, select Save Configuration Changes. The Config Tool will validate your changes.
Make any corrections as needed by selecting Continue Editing or select Next to continue on.
When prompted, it is recommended that you select Download Configuration. That will download a tarball of your new config.yaml, as well as any certificates and keys used with your Project Quay setup.
Select Go to deployment rollout, then Populate the configuration to deployments. The Project Quay pods will be restarted and the changes will take effect.

The config.yaml file you saved can be used to make advanced changes to your configuration or just kept for future reference.

Running the Config Tool from the command line

If you are running Project Quay directly from a host system, using tools such as the podman or docker commands, after the initial Project Quay deployment, you can restart the Config Tool to modify your Project Quay cluster. Here’s how:

Start quay in config mode: On the first quay node run the following, replacing my-secret-password with your password. If you would like to modify an existing config bundle, you can simply mount your configuration directory into the Quay container as you would in registry mode.
```
# podman run --rm -it --name quay_config -p 8080:8080 \
    -v path/to/config-bundle:/conf/stack \
    quay.io/projectquay/quay:qui-gon config my-secret-password
```
Open browser: When the quay configuration tool starts up, open a browser to the URL and port 8080 of the system you are running the configuration tool on (for example https://myquay.example.com:8080). You are prompted for a username and password.

At this point, you can begin modifying your Project Quay cluster as described earlier.

Using the API to modify Project Quay

See the Project Quay API Guide for information on how to access Project Quay API.

Editing the `config.yaml` file to modify Project Quay

Some advanced Project Quay configuration that is not available through the Config Tool can be achieved by editing the config.yaml file directly. Available settings are described in the Schema for Red Hat Quay configuration The following are examples of settings you can change directly in the config.yaml file.

Add name and company to Project Quay sign-in

Setting the following will cause users to be prompted for their name and company when they first sign in. Although this is optional, it can provide you with extra data about your Project Quay users:

+ FEATURE_USER_METADATA: true

Disable TLS Protocols

You can change the SSL_PROTOCOLS setting to remove SSL protocols that you do not want to support in your Project Quay instance. For example, to remove TLS v1 support from the default SSL_PROTOCOLS : ['TLSv1','TLSv1.1','TLSv1.2'], change it as follows:

+ SSL_PROTOCOLS : ['TLSv1.1','TLSv1.2']

Rate limit API calls

Adding the FEATURE_RATE_LIMITS parameter to the config.yaml causes nginx to limit certain API calls to 30 per second. If that feature is not set, API calls are limied to 300 per second (effectively unlimited). Rate limiting can be an important feature, if you need to make sure the resources available are not overwhelmed with traffic.

Some namespace may require unlimited access (perhaps they are important to CI/CD and take priority, for example). In this case, those namespace may be placed in a list in config.yaml for NON_RATE_LIMITED_NAMESPACES.

Adjust database connection pooling

Project Quay is composed of many different processes which all run within the same container. Many of these processes interact with the database.

If enabled, each process that interacts with the database will contain a connection pool. These per-process connection pools are configured to maintain a maximum of 20 connections. Under heavy load, it is possible to fill the connection pool for every process within a Project Quay container. Under certain deployments and loads, this may require analysis to ensure Project Quay does not exceed the database’s configured maximum connection count.

Overtime, the connection pools will release idle connections. To release all connections immediately, Project Quay requires a restart.

Database connection pooling may be toggled by setting the environment variable DB_CONNECTION_POOLING={true|false}

If database connection pooling is enabled, it is possible to change the maximum size of the connection pool. This can be done through the following config.yaml option:

DB_CONNECTION_ARGS:
  max_connections: 10

Database connection arguments

You can customize Project Quay database connection settings within the config.yaml file. These are entirely dependent upon the underlying database driver, such as psycopg2 for Postgres and pymysql for MySQL. It is also possible to pass in arguments used by Peewee’s Connection Pooling mechanism as seen below.

DB_CONNECTION_ARGS:
  max_connections: n  # Max Connection Pool size. (Connection Pooling only)
  timeout: n  # Time to hold on to connections. (Connection Pooling only)
  stale_timeout: n  # Number of seconds to block when the pool is full. (Connection Pooling only)

HTTP connection counts

It is possible to specify the quantity of simultaneous HTTP connections using environment variables. These can be specified as a whole, or for a specific component. The default for each is 50 parallel connections per process.

Environment variables: - WORKER_CONNECTION_COUNT_REGISTRY=n - WORKER_CONNECTION_COUNT_WEB=n - WORKER_CONNECTION_COUNT_SECSCAN=n - WORKER_CONNECTION_COUNT=n

Specifying a count for a specific component will override any value set in WORKER_CONNECTION_COUNT.

Dynamic process counts

To estimate the quantity of dynamically sized processes, the following calculation is used by default.

Note

Project Quay queries the available CPU count from the entire machine. Any limits applied using kubernetes or other non-virtualized mechanisms will not affect this behavior; Project Quay will makes its calculation based on the total number of processors on the Node. The default values listed are simply targets, but shall not exceed the maximum or be lower than the minimum.

Each of the following process quantities can be overridden using the environment variable specified below.

registry - Provides HTTP endpoints to handle registry action
- minimum: 8
- maximum: 64
- default: $CPU_COUNT x 4
- environment variable: WORKER_COUNT_REGISTRY
web - Provides HTTP endpoints for the web-based interface
- minimum: 2
- maximum: 32
- default: $CPU_COUNT x 2
- environment_variable: WORKER_COUNT_WEB
secscan - Interacts with Clair
- minimum: 2
- maximum: 4
- default: $CPU_COUNT x 2
- environment variable: WORKER_COUNT_SECSCAN

Environment variables

Project Quay allows overriding default behavior using environment variables. This table lists and describes each variable and the values they can expect.

Table 1. Worker count environment variables
Variable	Description	Values
WORKER_COUNT_REGISTRY	Specifies the number of processes to handle Registry requests within the Quay container.	Integer between 8 and 64
WORKER_COUNT_WEB	Specifies the number of processes to handle UI/Web requests within the container.	Integer between 2 and 32
WORKER_COUNT_SECSCAN	Specifies the number of processes to handle Security Scanning (e.g. Clair) integration within the container.	Integer between 2 and 4
DB_CONNECTION_POOLING	Toggle database connection pooling. In 3.4, it is disabled by default.	"true" or "false"

Turning off connection pooling

Project Quay deployments with a large amount of user activity can regularly hit the 2k maximum database connection limit. In these cases, connection pooling, which is enabled by default for Project Quay, can cause database connection count to rise exponentially and require you to turn off connection pooling.

If turning off connection pooling is not enough to prevent hitting that 2k database connection limit, you need to take additional steps to deal with the problem. In this case you might need to increase the maximum database connections to better suit your workload.

Getting Project Quay release notifications

To keep up with the latest Project Quay releases and other changes related to Project Quay, you can sign up for update notifications on the Red Hat Customer Portal. After signing up for notifications, you will receive notifications letting you know when there is new a Project Quay version, updated documentation, or other Project Quay news.

Log into the Red Hat Customer Portal with your Red Hat customer account credentials.
Select your user name (upper-right corner) to see Red Hat Account and Customer Portal selections:
Select Notifications. Your profile activity page appears.
Select the Notifications tab.
Select Manage Notifications.
Select Follow, then choose Products from the drop-down box.
From the drop-down box next to the Products, search for and select Project Quay:
Select the SAVE NOTIFICATION button. Going forward, you will receive notifications when there are changes to the Project Quay product, such as a new release.

Using SSL to protect connections to Project Quay

This document assumes you have deployed Project Quay in a single-node or highly available deployment.

To configure Project Quay with a self-signed certificate, you need to create a Certificate Authority (CA), then generate the required key and certificate files. You then enter those files using the Project Quay Config Tool or command line.

Create a CA and sign a certificate

Create a root CA.

$ openssl genrsa -out rootCA.key 2048
$ openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key rootCA.key -sha256 -days 1024 -out rootCA.pem

The result are rootCA.key and rootCA.pem files in the current directory.

Create certificate and private key: If you are having Project Quay handle TLS, you need to create a certificate and private key to provide during configuration. You can get those files from a certificate signing authority. Here we show how to create those files using the self-signed certificate authority you just created.

In this example, you create device.crt and device.key files, which will be uploaded to Project Quay and renamed ssl.cert and ssl.key, respectively.

Because OpenShift creates long fully qualified domain names, consider using a wildcard to identify the larger domain, instead of the specific route to the Project Quay application. For example, use something like *.apps.openshift.example.com when prompted for the server’s hostname:
```
Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:*apps.openshift.example.com
```
```
$ openssl genrsa -out device.key 2048
$ openssl req -new -key device.key -out device.csr
```
Then sign the certificate with the root CA created earlier:
```
$ openssl x509 -req -in device.csr -CA rootCA.pem \
       -CAkey rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out device.crt -days 500 -sha256
```

Note

Instead generating the *.key and *.crt files as just shown, you could create an openssl.cnf file. This lets you add more information to the resulting certificate than you can get by just responding to the prompts in the command for generating the certificate request. In this example of an openssl.cnf file, replace DNS.1 and IP.1 with the hostname and IP address of the Project Quay server:

openssl.cnf

[req]
req_extensions = v3_req
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
[req_distinguished_name]
[ v3_req ]
basicConstraints = CA:FALSE
keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
subjectAltName = @alt_names
[alt_names]
DNS.1 = reg.example.com
IP.1 = 12.345.678.9

You could then generate the key as follows:

$ openssl x509 -req -in ssl.csr -CA rootCA.pem \
   -CAkey rootCA.key -CAcreateserial -out ssl.cert \
   -days 356 -extensions v3_req -extfile openssl.cnf

Configure Project Quay to use the new certificate

The next step can be accomplished either in the Project Quay screen or from the terminal.

Configure SSL from the Project Quay Setup screen

Start the quay container in config mode, as described in each deployment guide. In the server Configuration section, enable SSL as follows:

Set the Server Hostname to the appropriate value and check the Enable SSL box, then upload the ssl.key and ssl.cert files (in our example, named device.key and device.crt, respectively):
Save the configuration. Project Quay will automatically validate the SSL certificate:
Restart the container

Configure with the command line

By not using the web interface the configuration checking mechanism built into Project Quay is unavailable. It is suggested to use the web interface if possible. For non-OpenShift installations, you can configure SSL from the command-line interface as follows:

Copy the ssl.key and ssl.cert into the specified config directory. In this example, the config directory for Project Quay is on a host named reg.example.com in a directory named /mnt/quay/config.

Note

The certificate/key files must be named ssl.key and ssl.cert.
```
$ ls
ssl.cert  ssl.key
$ scp ssl.* root@reg.example.com:/mnt/quay/config/
[root@reg.example.com ~]$ ls /mnt/quay/config/
config.yaml  ssl.cert  ssl.key
```
Modify the PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME: parameter in config.yaml from http to https
```
PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME: https
```

Restart the Project Quay container:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID  IMAGE                     COMMAND                 CREATED       STATUS      PORTS                   NAMES

$ docker restart cbe7b0fa39d8

Test the secure connection

Confirm the configuration by visiting the URL from a browser https://reg.example.com/ restart the container "Your Connection is not secure" means the CA is untrusted but confirms that SSL is functioning properly. To avoid these messages, you need to get a certificate from a trusted certificate authority.

Configuring Docker to Trust a Certificate Authority

Docker requires that custom certs be installed to /etc/docker/certs.d/ under a directory with the same name as the hostname private registry. It is also required for the cert to be called ca.crt. Here is how to do that:

Copy the rootCA file.

$ cp tmp/rootCA.pem /etc/docker/certs.d/reg.example.com/ca.crt

After you have copied the rootCA.pem file, docker login should authenticate successfully and pushing to the repository should succeed.

$ sudo docker push reg.example.com/kbrwn/hello
The push refers to a repository [reg.example.com/kbrwn/hello]

Adding TLS Certificates to the Project Quay Container

To add custom TLS certificates to Project Quay, create a new directory named extra_ca_certs/ beneath the Project Quay config directory. Copy any required site-specific TLS certificates to this new directory.

Add TLS certificates to Project Quay

View certificate to be added to the container

$ cat storage.crt
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIDTTCCAjWgAwIBAgIJAMVr9ngjJhzbMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAMD0xCzAJBgNV
[...]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Create certs directory and copy certificate there

$ mkdir -p quay/config/extra_ca_certs
$ cp storage.crt quay/config/extra_ca_certs/
$ tree quay/config/
├── config.yaml
├── extra_ca_certs
│   ├── storage.crt

Obtain the quay container’s CONTAINER ID with docker ps:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                                COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS

Restart the container with that ID:
```
$ docker restart 5a3e82c4a75f
```

Examine the certificate copied into the container namespace:

$ docker exec -it 5a3e82c4a75f cat /etc/ssl/certs/storage.pem
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIDTTCCAjWgAwIBAgIJAMVr9ngjJhzbMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAMD0xCzAJBgNV

Add certs when deployed on Kubernetes

When deployed on Kubernetes, Project Quay mounts in a secret as a volume to store config assets. Unfortunately, this currently breaks the upload certificate function of the superuser panel.

To get around this error, a base64 encoded certificate can be added to the secret after Project Quay has been deployed. Here’s how:

Begin by base64 encoding the contents of the certificate:

$ cat ca.crt
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIDljCCAn6gAwIBAgIBATANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQsFADA5MRcwFQYDVQQKDA5MQUIu
TElCQ09SRS5TTzEeMBwGA1UEAwwVQ2VydGlmaWNhdGUgQXV0aG9yaXR5MB4XDTE2

[...]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

$ cat ca.crt | base64 -w 0
[...]
c1psWGpqeGlPQmNEWkJPMjJ5d0pDemVnR2QNCnRsbW9JdEF4YnFSdVd3PT0KLS0tLS1FTkQgQ0VSVElGSUNBVEUtLS0tLQo=

Use the kubectl tool to edit the quay-enterprise-config-secret.

$ kubectl --namespace quay-enterprise edit secret/quay-enterprise-config-secret

Add an entry for the cert and paste the full base64 encoded string under the entry:

  custom-cert.crt:
c1psWGpqeGlPQmNEWkJPMjJ5d0pDemVnR2QNCnRsbW9JdEF4YnFSdVd3PT0KLS0tLS1FTkQgQ0VSVElGSUNBVEUtLS0tLQo=

Finally, recycle all Project Quay pods. Use kubectl delete to remove all Project Quay pods. The Project Quay Deployment will automatically schedule replacement pods with the new certificate data.

Configuring action log storage for Elasticsearch

By default, the past three months of usage logs are stored in the Project Quay database and exposed via the web UI on organization and repository levels. Appropriate administrative privileges are required to see log entries. For deployments with a large amount of logged operations, you can now store the usage logs in Elasticsearch instead of the Project Quay database backend. To do this, you need to provide your own Elasticsearch stack, as it is not included with Project Quay as a customizable component.

Enabling Elasticsearch logging can be done during Project Quay deployment or post-deployment using the Project Quay Config Tool. The resulting configuration is stored in the config.yaml file. Once configured, usage log access continues to be provided the same way, via the web UI for repositories and organizations.

Here’s how to configure action log storage to change it from the default Project Quay database to use Elasticsearch:

Obtain an Elasticsearch account.
Open the Project Quay Config Tool (either during or after Project Quay deployment).
Scroll to the Action Log Storage Configuration setting and select Elasticsearch instead of Database. The following figure shows the Elasticsearch settings that appear:
Fill in the following information for your Elasticsearch instance:
- Elasticsearch hostname: The hostname or IP address of the system providing the Elasticsearch service.
- Elasticsearch port: The port number providing the Elasticsearch service on the host you just entered. Note that the port must be accessible from all systems running the Project Quay registry. The default is TCP port 9200.
- Elasticsearch access key: The access key needed to gain access to the Elastic search service, if required.
- Elasticsearch secret key: The secret key needed to gain access to the Elastic search service, if required.
- AWS region: If you are running on AWS, set the AWS region (otherwise, leave it blank).
- Index prefix: Choose a prefix to attach to log entries.
- Logs Producer: Choose either Elasticsearch (default) or Kinesis to direct logs to an intermediate Kinesis stream on AWS. You need to set up your own pipeline to send logs from Kinesis to Elasticsearch (for example, Logstash). The following figure shows additional fields you would need to fill in for Kinesis:
If you chose Elasticsearch as the Logs Producer, no further configuration is needed. If you chose Kinesis, fill in the following:
- Stream name: The name of the Kinesis stream.
- AWS access key: The name of the AWS access key needed to gain access to the Kinesis stream, if required.
- AWS secret key: The name of the AWS secret key needed to gain access to the Kinesis stream, if required.
- AWS region: The AWS region.
When you are done, save the configuration. The Config Tool checks your settings. If there is a problem connecting to the Elasticsearch or Kinesis services, you will see an error and have the opportunity to continue editing. Otherwise, logging will begin to be directed to your Elasticsearch configuration after the cluster restarts with the new configuration.

Clair Security Scanning

What is Clair?

Clair is a set of micro services that can be used with Project Quay to perform vulnerability scanning of container images associated with a set of Linux operating systems. The micro services design of Clair makes it appropriate to run in a highly scalable configuration, where components can be scaled separately as appropriate for enterprise environments.

Clair uses the following vulnerability databases to scan for issues in your images:

Alpine SecDB database
AWS UpdateInfo
Debian Oval database
Oracle Oval database
RHEL Oval database
SUSE Oval database
Ubuntu Oval database
Pyup.io (python) database

For information on how Clair does security mapping with the different databases, see ClairCore Severity Mapping.

Note	With the release of Clair V4 (image clair), the previously used Clair V2 (image clair-jwt) is no longer used. See below for how to run V2 in read-only mode while V4 is updating.

Running Clair V4 and Clair V2 Simultaneously

While Clair V4 (quay.io/projectquay/clair:qui-gon) is the version of Clair that Project Quay uses, both it and the prior Clair V2 (quay.io/redhat/clair-jwt) can run concurrently with Project Quay. This is useful for existing Project Quay deployments that have relied on Clair V2 but wish to have no interruption of scan results using Clair V4. All new image scans will happen in Clair V4 and existing images will be re-scanned automatically. When scan results are requested through Project Quay, if the new Clair V4 results are not available, the existing Clair V2 results will be retrieved. Once the Clair V2 scan results are not needed, it may be decommissioned and removed from Project Quay’s configuration.

The progress of rescanning images may be monitored via Project Quay API. (Refer to Using The Quay API for details):

/secscan/_backfill_status

This will produce a simple JSON response with the percentage of completed manifests scanned by Clair V4:

{"backfill_percent": 73.4}

Once the majority of the images in your registry have been scanned by Clair V4, the Clair V2 deployment should be removed entirely (both running containers and removal from config).

Setting Up Clair on a Project Quay OpenShift deloyment

Deploying Via the Quay Operator

To set up Clair V4 on a new Project Quay deployment on OpenShift, it is highly recommended to use the Quay Operator. By default, the Quay Operator will install or upgrade a Clair deployment along with your Project Quay deployment and configure Clair security scanning automatically.

Manually Deploying Clair

To configure Clair V4 on an existing Project Quay OpenShift deployment running Clair V2, first ensure Project Quay has been upgraded to at least version 3.4.0. Then use the following steps to manually set up Clair V4 alongside Clair V2.

Set your current project to the name of the project in which Project Quay is running. For example:
```
$ oc project quay-enterprise
```

Create a Postgres deployment file for Clair v4 (for example, clairv4-postgres.yaml) as follows.

clairv4-postgres.yaml

Change image to latest clair image name and version.
With the Service set to clairv4, the scanner endpoint for Clair v4 is entered later into the Project Quay config.yaml in the SECURITY_SCANNER_V4_ENDPOINT as http://clairv4.

Create the Clair v4 deployment as follows:
```
$ oc create -f ./clair-combo.yaml
```
Modify the config.yaml file for your Project Quay deployment to add the following entries at the end:
```
FEATURE_SECURITY_SCANNER: true
SECURITY_SCANNER_V4_ENDPOINT: http://clairv4 (1)
```
1. Identify the Clair v4 service endpoint

Redeploy the modified config.yaml to the secret containing that file (for example, quay-enterprise-config-secret:

$ oc delete secret quay-enterprise-config-secret
$ oc create secret generic quay-enterprise-config-secret --from-file=./config.yaml

For the new config.yaml to take effect, you need to restart the Project Quay pods. Simply deleting the quay-app pods causes pods with the updated configuration to be deployed.

At this point, images in any of the organizations identified in the namespace whitelist will be scanned by Clair v4.

Setting up Clair on a non-OpenShift Project Quay deployment

For Project Quay deployments not running on OpenShift, it is possible to configure Clair security scanning manually. Project Quay deployments already running Clair V2 can use the instructions below to add Clair V4 to their deployment.

Deloy a (preferably fault-tolerant) Postgres database server. Note that Clair requires the uuid-ossp extension to be added to its Postgres database. If the user supplied in Clair’s config.yaml has the necessary privileges to create the extension then it will be added automatically by Clair itself. If not, then the extension must be added before starting Clair. If the extension is not present, the following error will be displayed when Clair attempts to start.
```
ERROR: Please load the "uuid-ossp" extension. (SQLSTATE 42501)
```

Create a Clair config file in a specific folder (e.g. /etc/clairv4/config/config.yaml) file.

config.yaml

introspection_addr: :8089
http_listen_addr: :8080
log_level: debug
indexer:
  connstring: host=clairv4-postgres port=5432 dbname=clair user=postgres password=postgres sslmode=disable
  scanlock_retry: 10
  layer_scan_concurrency: 5
  migrations: true

  name: "jaeger"
  probability: 1
  jaeger:
    agent_endpoint: "localhost:6831"
    service_name: "clair"
metrics:
  name: "prometheus"

More information about Clair’s configuration format can be found in upstream Clair documentation.

Run Clair via the container image, mounting in the configuration from the file you created.

$ podman run -p 8080:8080 -p 8089:8089 -e CLAIR_CONF=/clair/config.yaml -e CLAIR_MODE=combo -v /etc/clair4/config:/clair -d {productrepo}/{clairimage}:{productminv}

Follow the remaining instructions from the previous section for configuring Project Quay to use the new Clair V4 endpoint.

Running multiple Clair containers in this fashion is also possible, but for deployment scenarios beyond a single container the use of a container orchestrator like Kubernetes or OpenShift is strongly recommended.

Using Clair

Log in to your Project Quay cluster and select an organization for which you have configured Clair scanning.
Select a repository from that organization that holds some images and select Tags from the left navigation. The following figure shows an example of a repository with two images that have been scanned:
If vulnerabilities are found, select to under the Security Scan column for the image to see either all vulnerabilities or those that are fixable. The following figure shows information on all vulnerabilities found:

Clair Notifications

When Clair received a new vulnerability affecting a previously indexed manifest, it will notify Project Quay so that a new scan can be requested. Only the most severe vulnerabilities trigger a notification to avoid excessive scan requests. This notification mechanism is automatically set up when Clair is configured in Project Quay’s configuration.

Clair notifications can also be set up for external consumption via AMQP and STOMP protocols. For details on how to set this up please consult the upstream Clair documentation.

Configuring Clair for Disconnected Environments

Clair utilizes a set of components called Updaters to handle the fetching and parsing of data from various vulnerability databases. These Updaters are set up by default to pull vulnerability data directly from the internet and work out of the box. For customers in disconnected environments without direct access to the internet this poses a problem. Clair supports these environments through the ability to work with different types of update workflows that take into account network isolation. Using the clairctl command line utility, any process can easily fetch Updater data from the internet via an open host, securely transfer the data to an isolated host, and then import the Updater data on the isolated host into Clair itself.

The steps are as follows.

First ensure that your Clair configuration has disabled automated Updaters from running.
config.yaml
```
matcher:
  disable_updaters: true
```
Export out the latest Updater data to a local archive. This requires the clairctl tool which can be run directly as a binary, or via the Clair container image. Assume your Clair configuration is in /etc/clairv4/config/config.yaml, to run via the container image:
```
$ podman run -it --rm -v /etc/clairv4/config:/cfg:Z -v $(pwd):/updaters:Z --entrypoint /bin/clairctl {productrepo}/{clairimage}:{productminv} export-updaters --config /cfg/config.yaml /updaters/updaters.gz
```
Note that you need to explicitly reference the Clair configuration. This will create the Updater archive in /etc/clairv4/updaters/updaters.gz. If you want to ensure the archive was created without any errors from the source databases, you can supply the --strict flag to clairctl. The archive file should be copied over to a volume that is accessible from the disconnected host running Clair. From the disconnected host, use the same procedure now to import the archive into Clair.
```
$ podman run -it --rm -v /etc/clairv4/config:/cfg:Z -v $(pwd):/updaters:Z --entrypoint /bin/clairctl {productrepo}/{clairimage}:{productminv} import-updaters --config /cfg/config.yaml /updaters/updaters.gz
```

Additional Information

For detailed documentation on the internals of Clair, including how the microservices are structured, please see the Upstream Clair and ClairCore documentation.

Scan pod images with the Container Security Operator

Using the Container Security Operator, (CSO) you can scan container images associated with active pods, running on OpenShift (4.2 or later) and other Kubernetes platforms, for known vulnerabilities. The CSO:

Watches containers associated with pods on all or specified namespaces
Queries the container registry where the containers came from for vulnerability information provided an image’s registry supports image scanning (such as a Quay registry with Clair scanning)
Exposes vulnerabilities via the ImageManifestVuln object in the Kubernetes API

Using the instructions here, the CSO is installed in the marketplace-operators namespace, so it is available to all namespaces on your OpenShift cluster.

Note	To see instructions on installing the CSO on Kubernetes, select the Install button from the Container Security OperatorHub.io page.

Run the CSO in OpenShift

To start using the CSO in OpenShift, do the following:

Go to Operators → OperatorHub (select Security) to see the available Container Security Operator.
Select the Container Security Operator, then select Install to go to the Create Operator Subscription page.
Check the settings (all namespaces and automatic approval strategy, by default), and select Subscribe. The Container Security appears after a few moments on the Installed Operators screen.
Optionally, you can add custom certificates to the CSO. In this example, create a certificate named quay.crt in the current directory. Then run the following command to add the cert to the CSO (restart the Operator pod for the new certs to take effect):
```
$ oc create secret generic container-security-operator-extra-certs --from-file=quay.crt -n openshift-operators
```
Open the OpenShift Dashboard (Home → Dashboards). A link to Image Security appears under the status section, with a listing of the number of vulnerabilities found so far. Select the link to see a Security breakdown, as shown in the following figure:
You can do one of two things at this point to follow up on any detected vulnerabilities:
- Select the link to the vulnerability. You are taken to the container registry, Project Quay or other registry where the container came from, where you can see information about the vulnerability. The following figure shows an example of detected vulnerabilities from a Quay.io registry:
- Select the namespaces link to go to the ImageManifestVuln screen, where you can see the name of the selected image and all namespaces where that image is running. The following figure indicates that a particular vulnerable image is running in two namespaces:

At this point, you know what images are vulnerable, what you need to do to fix those vulnerabilities, and every namespace that the image was run in. So you can:

Alert anyone running the image that they need to correct the vulnerability
Stop the images from running (by deleting the deployment or other object that started the pod the image is in)

Note that if you do delete the pod, it may take a few minutes for the vulnerability to reset on the dashboard.

Query image vulnerabilities from the CLI

You can query information on security from the command line. To query for detected vulnerabilities, type:

$ oc get vuln --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE     NAME              AGE
default       sha256.ca90...    6m56s
skynet        sha256.ca90...    9m37s

To display details for a particular vulnerability, identify one of the vulnerabilities, along with its namespace and the describe option. This example shows an active container whose image includes an RPM package with a vulnerability:

$ oc describe vuln --namespace mynamespace sha256.ac50e3752...

Project Quay Security Scanning with Clair V2

Project Quay supports scanning container images for known vulnerabilities with a scanning engine such as Clair. This document explains how to configure Clair with Project Quay.

Note

With the release of Red Hat Quay 3.4, the default version of Clair is V4. This new version V4 is no longer being released as Technology Preview and is supported for production use. Customers are strongly encouraged to use Clair V4 for with Red Hat Quay 3.4. It is possible to run both Clair V4 and Clair V2 simultaneously if so desired. In future versions of Red Hat Quay, Clair V2 will eventually be removed.

Set up Clair V2 in the Project Quay config tool

Enabling Clair V2 in Project Quay consists of:

Starting the Project Quay config tool. See the Project Quay deployment guide for the type of deployment you are doing (OpenShift, Basic, or HA) for how to start the config tool for that environment.
Enabling security scanning, then generating a private key and PEM file in the config tool
Including the key and PEM file in the Clair config file
Start the Clair container

The procedure varies, based on whether you are running Project Quay on OpenShift or directly on a host.

Enabling Clair V2 on a Project Quay OpenShift deployment

To set up Clair V2 on Project Quay in OpenShift, see Add Clair image scanning to Project Quay.

Enabling Clair V2 on a Project Quay Basic or HA deployment

To set up Clair V2 on a Project Quay deployment where the container is running directly on the host system, do the following:

Restart the Project Quay config tool: Run the quay container again in config mode, open the configuration UI in a browser, then select Modify an existing configuration. When prompted, upload the quay-config.tar.gz file that was originally created for the deployment.
Enable Security Scanning: Scroll to the Security Scanner section and select the "Enable Security Scanning" checkbox. From the fields that appear you need to create an authentication key and enter the security scanner endpoint. Here’s how:
- Generate key: Click Create Key, then from the pop-up window type a name for the Clair private key and an optional expiration date (if blank, the key never expires). Then select Generate Key.
- Copy the Clair key and PEM file: Save the Key ID (to a notepad or similar) and download a copy of the Private Key PEM file (named security_scanner.pem) by selecting "Download Private Key" (if you lose the key, you need to generate a new one). You will need the key and PEM file when you start the Clair container later.
  
  Close the pop-up when you are done. Here is an example of a completed Security Scanner config:
Save the configuration: Click Save Configuration Changes and then select Download Configuration to save it to your local system.
Deploy the configuration: To pick up the changes enabling scanning, as well as other changes you may have made to the configuration, unpack the quay-config.tar.gz and copy the resulting files to the config directory. For example:
```
$ tar xvf quay-config.tar.gz
config.yaml  ssl.cert  ssl.key
$ cp config.yaml ssl* /mnt/quay/config
```

Next, start the Clair V2 container and associated database, as described in the following sections.

Setting Up Clair V2 Security Scanning

Once you have created the necessary key and pem files from the Project Quay config UI, you are ready to start up the Clair V2 container and associated database. Once that is done, you an restart your Project Quay cluster to have those changes take effect.

Procedures for running the Clair V2 container and associated database are different on OpenShift than they are for running those containers directly on a host.

Run Clair V2 on a Project Quay OpenShift deployment

To run the Clair V2 image scanning container and its associated database on an OpenShift environment with your Project Quay cluster, see Add Clair image scanning to Project Quay.

Run Clair V2 on a Project Quay Basic or HA deployment

To run Clair V2 and its associated database on non-OpenShift environments (directly on a host), you need to:

Start up a database
Configure and start Clair V2

Get Postgres and Clair

In order to run Clair, a database is required. For production deployments, MySQL is not supported. For production, we recommend you use PostgreSQL or other supported database:

Running on machines other than those running Project Quay
Ideally with automatic replication and failover

For testing purposes, a single PostgreSQL instance can be started locally:

To start Postgres locally, do the following:

# docker run --name postgres -p 5432:5432 -d postgres
# sleep 5
# docker run --rm --link postgres:postgres postgres \
   sh -c 'echo "create database clairtest" | psql -h \
   "$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_ADDR" -p  \
   "$POSTGRES_PORT_5432_TCP_PORT" -U postgres'

The configuration string for this test database is:

postgresql://postgres@{DOCKER HOST GOES HERE}:5432/clairtest?sslmode=disable

Pull the security-enabled Clair image:

You will need to build your own Clair container and pull it during this step. Instructions for building the Clair container are not yet available.

Make a configuration directory for Clair
```
# mkdir clair-config
# cd clair-config
```

Configure Clair V2

Clair V2 can run either as a single instance or in high-availability mode. It is recommended to run more than a single instance of Clair, ideally in an auto-scaling group with automatic healing.

Create a config.yaml file to be used in the Clair V2 config directory (/clair/config) from one of the two Clair configuration files shown here.
If you are doing a high-availability installation, go through the procedure in Authentication for high-availability scanners to create a Key ID and Private Key (PEM).
Save the Private Key (PEM) to a file (such as, $HOME/config/security_scanner.pem).
Replace the value of key_id (CLAIR_SERVICE_KEY_ID) with the Key ID you generated and the value of private_key_path with the location of the PEM file (for example, /config/security_scanner.pem).

For example, those two value might now appear as:
```
key_id: { 4fb9063a7cac00b567ee921065ed16fed7227afd806b4d67cc82de67d8c781b1 }
private_key_path: /clair/config/security_scanner.pem
```
Change other values in the configuration file as needed.

Configuring Clair V2 for TLS

To configure Clair to run with TLS, a few additional steps are required.

Using certificates from a public CA

For certificates that come from a public certificate authority, follow these steps:

Generate a TLS certificate and key pair for the DNS name at which Clair will be accessed
Place these files as clair.crt and clair.key in your Clair configuration directory
Uncomment the key_file and crt_file lines under verifier_proxies in your Clair config.yaml

If your certificates use a public CA, you are now ready to run Clair. If you are using your own certificate authority, configure Clair to trust it below.

Configuring trust of self-signed SSL

Similar to the process for setting up Docker to trust your self-signed certificates, Clair must also be configured to trust your certificates. Using the same CA certificate bundle used to configure Docker, complete the following steps:

Rename the same CA certificate bundle used to set up Quay Registry to ca.crt
Make sure the ca.crt file is mounted inside the Clair container under /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/ as in the example below: You will need to build your own Clair container and run it during this step. Instructions for building the Clair container are not yet available.

Now Clair will be able to trust the source of your TLS certificates and use them to secure communication between Clair and Quay.

Using Clair V2 data sources

Before scanning container images, Clair tries to figure out the operating system on which the container was built. It does this by looking for specific filenames inside that image (see Table 1). Once Clair knows the operating system, it uses specific security databases to check for vulnerabilities (see Table 2).

Table 2. Container files that identify its operating system
Operating system	Files identifying OS type
Redhat/CentOS/Oracle	etc/oracle-release etc/centos-release etc/redhat-release etc/system-release
Alpine	etc/alpine-release
Debian/Ubuntu:	etc/os-release usr/lib/os-release etc/apt/sources.list
Ubuntu	etc/lsb-release

The data sources that Clair uses to scan containers are shown in Table 2.

Note	You must be sure that Clair has access to all listed data sources by whitelisting access to each data source’s location. You might need to add a wild-card character (*) at the end of some URLS that may not be fully complete because they are dynamically built by code.

Integrate Project Quay into OpenShift with the Bridge Operator

Using the Quay Bridge Operator, you can replace the integrated container registry in OpenShift with a Project Quay registry. By doing this, your integrated OpenShift registry becomes a highly available, enterprise-grade Project Quay registry with enhanced role based access control (RBAC) features.

The primary goals of the Bridge Operator is to duplicate the features of the integrated OpenShift registry in the new Project Quay registry. The features enabled with this Operator include:

Synchronizing OpenShift namespaces as Project Quay organizations.
- Creating Robot accounts for each default namespace service account
- Creating Secrets for each created Robot Account (associating each Robot Secret to a Service Account as Mountable and Image Pull Secret)
- Synchronizing OpenShift ImageStreams as Quay Repositories
Automatically rewriting new Builds making use of ImageStreams to output to Project Quay
Automatically importing an ImageStream tag once a build completes

Using this procedure with the Quay Bridge Operator, you enable bi-directional communication between your Project Quay and OpenShift clusters.

Warning

You cannot have more than one OpenShift Container Platform cluster pointing to the same Project Quay instance from a Quay Bridge Operator. If you did, it would prevent you from creating namespaces of the same name on the two clusters.

Running the Quay Bridge Operator

Prerequisites

Before setting up the Bridge Operator, have the following in place:

An existing Project Quay environment for which you have superuser permissions
A Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform environment (4.2 or later is recommended) for which you have cluster administrator permissions
An OpenShift command line tool (oc command)

Setting up and configuring OpenShift and Project Quay

Both Project Quay and OpenShift configuration is required:

Project Quay setup

Create a dedicated Project Quay organization, and from a new application you create within that organization, generate an OAuth token to be used with the Quay Bridge Operator in OpenShift

Log in to Project Quay as a user with superuser access and select the organization for which the external application will be configured.
In the left navigation, select Applications.
Select Create New Application and entering a name for the new application (for example, openshift).
With the new application displayed, select it.
In the left navigation, select Generate Token to create a new OAuth2 token.
Select all checkboxes to grant the access needed for the integration.
Review the assigned permissions and then select Authorize Application, then confirm it.
Copy and save the generated Access Token that appears to use in the next section.

OpenShift Setup

Setting up OpenShift for the Quay Bridge Operator requires several steps, including:

Creating an OpenShift secret: Using the OAuth token created earlier in Quay, create an OpenShift secret.
Adding MutatingWebhookConfiguration support: To support Project Quay integration with OpenShift, any new Build requests should be intercepted so that the output can be modified to target Project Quay instead of OpenShift’s integrated registry.

Support for dynamic interception of API requests that are performed as part of OpenShift’s typical build process is facilitated through a MutatingWebhookConfiguration. A MutatingWebhookConfiguration allows for invoking an API running within a project on OpenShift when certain API requests are received.

Kubernetes requires that the webhook endpoint is secured via SSL using a certificate that makes use of the certificate authority for the cluster. Fortunately, OpenShift provides support for generating a certificate signed by the cluster.

Using the OpenShift oc command line tool, log in to OpenShift as a cluster administrator.
Choose an OpenShift namespace to use, such as openshift-operators or create a new one.
Create an OpenShift secret, replacing <access_token> with the Access Token obtained earlier from Project Quay. For example, this creates a secret with your <access_token> called quay-integration with a key called token:
```
$ oc create secret generic quay-integration --from-literal=token=<access_token>
```
The result places the newly created private key and certificate within a secret specified. The secret will be mounted into the appropriate located within the operator as declared in the Deployment of the Operator.

Create a Service for the Operator’s webhook endpoint:

quay-webhook.yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    name: quay-bridge-operator
  name: quay-bridge-operator
  namespace: openshift-operators
spec:
  ports:
    - name: https
      port: 443
      protocol: TCP
      targetPort: 8443
  selector:
    name: quay-bridge-operator
  sessionAffinity: None
  type: ClusterIP

Create the webhook service as follows:
```
$ oc create -f quay-webhook.yaml
```
Download the webhook-create-signed-cert.sh script, so you can use it to generate a certificate signed by a Kubernetes certificate authority.

Execute the following command to request the certificate:

$ ./webhook-create-signed-cert.sh --namespace openshift-operators \
   --secret quay-bridge-operator-webhook-certs \
   --service quay-bridge-operator

Execute the following command to retrieve the CA and format the result as a single line so that it can be entered into the MutatingWebhookConfiguration resource:
```
$ oc get configmap -n kube-system \
   extension-apiserver-authentication \
   -o=jsonpath='{.data.client-ca-file}' | base64 | tr -d '\n'
```

Replace the ${CA_BUNDLE} variable in the following MutatingWebhookConfiguration YAML:

quay-mutating-webhook.yaml

apiVersion: admissionregistration.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: MutatingWebhookConfiguration
metadata:
  name: quay-bridge-operator
webhooks:
  - name: quayintegration.redhatcop.redhat.io
    clientConfig:
      service:
        namespace: openshift-operators
        name: quay-bridge-operator
        path: "/admissionwebhook"
      caBundle: "${CA_BUNDLE}" (1)
    rules:
    - operations:  [ "CREATE" ]
      apiGroups: [ "build.openshift.io" ]
      apiVersions: ["v1" ]
      resources: [ "builds" ]
    failurePolicy: Fail

Replace ${CA_BUNDLE} with the output of the previous step. It will appear as one long line that you copy and paste to replace ${CA_BUNDLE}.

Create the MutatingWebhookConfiguration as follows:
```
$ oc create -f quay-mutating-webhook.yaml
```
Until the operator is running, new requests for builds will fail since the webserver the MutatingWebhookConfiguration invokes is not available and a proper is response is required in order for the object to be persisted in etcd.
Go to the OpenShift console and install the Quay Bridge Operator as follows:
- Select OperatorHub and search for Quay Bridge Operator.
- Select Install
- Choose Installation Mode (all namespaces), Update Channel, and Approval Strategy (Automatic or Manual).
- Select Subscribe
Create the custom resource (CR) called QuayIntegration. For example:
quay-integration.yaml
```
apiVersion: redhatcop.redhat.io/v1alpha1
kind: QuayIntegration
metadata:
  name: example-quayintegration
spec:
  clusterID: openshift  (1)
  credentialsSecretName: openshift-operators/quay-integration (2)
  quayHostname: https://<QUAY_URL>   (3)
  whitelistNamespaces: (4)
    - default
  insecureRegistry: false (5)
```
1. The clusterID value should be unique across the entire ecosystem. This value is optional and defaults to openshift.
2. For credentialsSecretName, replace openshift-operators/quay-integration with the name of the namespace and the secret containing the token you created earlier.
3. Replace QUAY_URL with the hostname of your Project Quay instance.
4. The whitelistNamespaces is optional. If not used, the Bridge Operator will sync all namespaces to Project Quay except the openshift prefixed project. In this example, the white listed namespace (default) will now have an associated Project Quay organization. Use any namespace you like here.
5. If Quay is using self signed certificates, set the property insecureRegistry: true.
The result is that organizations within Project Quay should be created for the related namespaces in OpenShift.
Create the QuayIntegration as follows:
```
$ oc create -f quay-integration.yaml
```

At this point a Quay integration resource is created, linking the OpenShift cluster to the Project Quay instance.

The whitelisted namespace you created should now have a Project Quay organization. If you were to use a command such as oc new-app to create a new application in that namespace, you would see a new Project Quay repository created for it instead of using the internal registry.

Repository Mirroring in Project Quay

Project Quay repository mirroring lets you mirror images from external container registries (or the local registry) into your local Project Quay cluster. Using repository mirroring you can synchronize images to Project Quay based on repository names and tags.

Overview of repository mirroring

From your Project Quay cluster with repository mirroring enabled, you can:

Choose a repository from an external registry to mirror
Add credentials to access the external registry
Set intervals at which a repository is synced
Identify specific container image repository names and tags to sync
Check the current state of synchronization

With repository mirroring, you mirror a specific subset of content, between two or more distinct registries, to selected datacenters, clusters, or regions. By contrast, Georeplication provides a single, globally distributed Project Quay to serve container images from localized storage. The two approaches to sharing content differ in the following ways:

Table 4. Project Quay Repository Mirroring vs. Georeplication
Feature / Capability	Georeplication	Repository Mirroring
What is the feature designed to do?	A shared, global registry	Distinct, different registries
What happens if replication or mirroring hasn’t been completed yet?	The remote copy is used (slower)	No image is served
Is access to all storage backends in both regions required?	Yes (all Project Quay nodes)	No (distinct storage)
Can users push images from both sites to the same repository?	Yes	No
Is all registry content and configuration identical across all regions (shared database)	Yes	No
Can users select individual namespaces or repositories to be mirrored?	No,by default	Yes
Can users apply filters to synchronization rules?	No	Yes

Here are a few tips for using Project Quay repository mirroring:

With repository mirroring, you can mirror an entire repository or selectively limit which images are synced based on a comma-separated list of tags, a range of tags, or other means of identifying tags through regular expressions and globs.
Once set as a mirrored repository, you cannot manually add other images to that repository.
Because the mirrored repository is based on the repository and tags you set, it will hold only the content represented by the repo/tag pair. In other words, if you change the tag so that some images in the repository don’t match any more, those images will be deleted.
Only the designated robot can push images to a mirrored repository, superseding any role-based access control permissions set on the repository.
With a mirrored repository, a user can pull images (given read permission) from the repository but not push images to the repository.
Changing setting on your mirrored repository is done from a Mirrors tab on the Repositories page for the mirrored repository you create.
Images are synced at set intervals, but can also be synced on demand.

Prerequisites

Before you can use repository mirroring, you must enable repository mirroring from the Project Quay configuration screen and start the repository mirroring worker. Ways of starting up this service are described in the Project Quay deployment guides:

The steps shown in the following section assumes you already have the repository mirroring service running and that you have enabled repository mirroring on your Project Quay cluster.

Create a mirrored repository

To mirror an external repository from an external container registry, do the following:

Log into your Project Quay registry.
Create a robot account to pull images for the mirrored repository:
- Select Account Settings from the drop-down in the upper right corner.
- Select the Robot Accounts button in the left column.
- Select Create Robot Account.
- Add the name and description of the robot account and select Create robot account.
- Select Close, since the mirrored repository you are adding does not exist yet.
- Select the ROBOT ACCOUNT NAME from the listing.
- When prompted, add the credentials needed by the robot to access the external registry of the repository you want to mirror, then close the Credentials window.
Select REPOSITORIES.
Select Create New Repository and give it a name.
Fill in a repository name, select Public or Private, and select Create Repository.
Select the Settings button and change the repository state to MIRROR.
Open the new repository and select the Mirroring button in the left column.

Fill in the fields to identify the repository you are mirroring in your new repository:

Registry URL: Location of the container registry you want to mirror from.
User or Organization: Typically, the account name associated with the content you are mirroring. For example, with the image registry.example.com/jsmith/myimage:latest, jsmith would be entered here.
Repository Name: The name identifying the name of the set of images. For example, with the image registry.example.com/jsmith/myimage:latest, myimage would be entered here.
Sync Interval: Defaults to syncing every 24 hours. You can change that based on hours or days.
Robot User: Select the robot account you created earlier to do the mirroring.
Username: The username for logging into the external registry holding the repository you are mirroring.
Password: The password associated with the Username. Note that the password cannot include characters that require an escape character (\).
Start Date: The date on which mirroring begins. The current date and time used by default.
Verify TLS: Check this box if you want to verify the authenticity of the external registry. Uncheck this box if, for example, you set up Project Quay for testing with a self-signed certificate or no certificate.
HTTP Proxy: Identify the proxy server needed to access the remote site, if one is required.

Tags: This field is required. You may enter a comma-separated list of individual tags or tag patterns. (See Tag Patterns section for details.)

Note	At least one Tag must be explicitly entered (ie. not a tag pattern) or the tag "latest" must exist in the remote repository. This is required for Quay to get the list of tags in the remote repository to compare to the specified list to mirror.

Here is an example of a completed Repository Mirroring screen:

Create a new Project Quay repo mirror

Select the Enable Mirror button. Here’s the resulting Repository Mirroring page:

You can return to this page later to change any of those settings.

Working with mirrored repositories

Once you have created a mirrored repository, there are several ways you can work with that repository. Select your mirrored repository from the Repositories page and do any of the following:

Enable/disable the repository: Select the Mirroring button in the left column, then toggle the Enabled check box to enable or disable the repository temporarily.
Check mirror logs: To make sure the mirrored repository is working properly, you can check the mirror logs. To do that, select the Usage Logs button in the left column. Here’s an example:
Sync mirror now: To immediately sync the images in your repository, select the Sync Now button.
Change credentials: To change the username and password, select DELETE from the Credentials line. Then select None and add the username and password needed to log into the external registry when prompted.
Cancel mirroring: To stop mirroring, which keeps the current images available but stops new ones from being synced, select the CANCEL button.
Set robot permissions: Project Quay robot accounts are named tokens that hold credentials for accessing external repositories. By assigning credentials to a robot, that robot can be used across multiple mirrored repositories that need to access the same external registry.

You can assign an existing robot to a repository by going to Account Settings, then selecting the Robot Accounts icon in the left column. For the robot account, choose the link under the REPOSITORIES column. From the pop-up window, you can:
- Check which repositories are assigned to that robot.
- Assign read, write or Admin privileges to that robot from the PERMISSION field shown in this figure:
Change robot credentials: Robots can hold credentials such as Kubernetes secrets, Docker login information, and Mesos bundles. To change robot credentials, select the Options gear on the robot’s account line on the Robot Accounts window and choose View Credentials. Add the appropriate credentials for the external repository the robot needs to access.
Check and change general setting: Select the Settings button (gear icon) from the left column on the mirrored repository page. On the resulting page, you can change settings associated with the mirrored repository. In particular, you can change User and Robot Permissions, to specify exactly which users and robots can read from or write to the repo.

Tag Patterns

As noted above, at least one Tag must be explicitly entered (ie. not a tag pattern) or the tag "latest" must exist in the report repository. (The tag "latest" will not be synced unless specified in the tag list.). This is required for Quay to get the list of tags in the remote repository to compare to the specified list to mirror.

LDAP Authentication Setup for Project Quay

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open, vendor-neutral, industry standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Project Quay supports using LDAP as an identity provider.

Set Up LDAP Configuration

In the config tool, locate the Authentication section and select “LDAP” from the drop-down menu. Update LDAP configuration fields as required.

Fill in LDAP information

Here is an example of the resulting entry in the config.yaml file:

AUTHENTICATION_TYPE: LDAP

Full LDAP URI

LDAP server URI LDAP server SSL

The full LDAP URI, including the ldap:// or ldaps:// prefix.
A URI beginning with ldaps:// will make use of the provided SSL certificate(s) for TLS setup.
Here is an example of the resulting entry in the config.yaml file:

LDAP_URI: ldaps://ldap.example.org

Team Synchronization

Team synchronization

If enabled, organization administrators who are also superusers can set teams to have their membership synchronized with a backing group in LDAP.

Team synchronization

The resynchronization duration is the period at which a team must be re-synchronized. Must be expressed in a duration string form: 30m, 1h, 1d.
Optionally allow non-superusers to enable and manage team syncing under organizations in which they are administrators.
Here is an example of the resulting entries in the config.yaml file:

FEATURE_TEAM_SYNCING: true
TEAM_RESYNC_STALE_TIME: 60m
FEATURE_NONSUPERUSER_TEAM_SYNCING_SETUP: true

Base and Relative Distinguished Names

Distinguished Names

A Distinguished Name path which forms the base path for looking up all LDAP records. Example: dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com
Optional list of Distinguished Name path(s) which form the secondary base path(s) for looking up all user LDAP records, relative to the Base DN defined above. These path(s) will be tried if the user is not found via the primary relative DN.
User Relative DN is relative to BaseDN. Example: ou=NYC not ou=NYC,dc=example,dc=org
Multiple “Secondary User Relative DNs” may be entered if there are multiple Organizational Units where User objects are located at. Simply type in the Organizational Units and click on Add button to add multiple RDNs. Example: ou=Users,ou=NYC and ou=Users,ou=SFO
The "User Relative DN" searches with subtree scope. For example, if your Organization has Organizational Units NYC and SFO under the Users OU (ou=SFO,ou=Users and ou=NYC,ou=Users), Project Quay can authenticate users from both the NYC and SFO Organizational Units if the User Relative DN is set to Users (ou=Users).
Here is an example of the resulting entries in the config.yaml file:

LDAP_BASE_DN:
- dc=example
- dc=com
LDAP_USER_RDN:
- ou=users
LDAP_SECONDARY_USER_RDNS:
- ou=bots
- ou=external

Additional User Filters

User filters

If specified, the additional filter used for all user lookup queries. Note that all Distinguished Names used in the filter must be full paths; the Base DN is not added automatically here. Must be wrapped in parens. Example: (&(someFirstField=someValue)(someOtherField=someOtherValue))
Here is an example of the resulting entry in the config.yaml file:

LDAP_USER_FILTER: (memberof=cn=developers,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com)

Administrator DN

The Distinguished Name and password for the administrator account. This account must be able to login and view the records for all user accounts. Example: uid=admin,ou=employees,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com
The password will be stored in plaintext inside the config.yaml, so setting up a dedicated account or using a password hash is highly recommended.
Here is an example of the resulting entries in the config.yaml file:

LDAP_ADMIN_DN: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
LDAP_ADMIN_PASSWD: changeme

UID and Mail attributes

UID and Mail

The UID attribute is the name of the property field in LDAP user record to use as the username. Typically "uid".
The Mail attribute is the name of the property field in LDAP user record that stores user e-mail address(es). Typically "mail".
Either of these may be used during login.
The logged in username must exist in User Relative DN.
sAMAccountName is the UID attribute for against Microsoft Active Directory setups.
Here is an example of the resulting entries in the config.yaml file:

LDAP_UID_ATTR: uid
LDAP_EMAIL_ATTR: mail

Validation

Once the configuration is completed, click on “Save Configuration Changes” button to validate the configuration.

Fill in LDAP information

All validation must succeed before proceeding, or additional configuration may be performed by selecting the "Continue Editing" button.

Common Issues

Invalid credentials

Administrator DN or Administrator DN Password values are incorrect

Verification of superuser %USERNAME% failed: Username not found The user either does not exist in the remote authentication system OR LDAP auth is misconfigured.

Project Quay can connect to the LDAP server via Username/Password specified in the Administrator DN fields however cannot find the current logged in user with the UID Attribute or Mail Attribute fields in the User Relative DN Path. Either current logged in user does not exist in User Relative DN Path, or Administrator DN user do not have rights to search/read this LDAP path.

Configure an LDAP user as superuser

Once LDAP is configured, you can log in to your Project Quay instance with a valid LDAP username and password. You are prompted to confirm your Project Quay username as shown in the following figure:

Confirm LDAP username for Project Quay

To attach superuser privilege to an LDAP user, modify the config.yaml file with the username. For example:

SUPER_USERS:
- testadmin

Restart the Red Hat Quay container with the updated config.yaml file. The next time you log in, the user will have superuser privileges.

Prometheus and Grafana metrics under Project Quay

Project Quay exports a Prometheus- and Grafana-compatible endpoint on each instance to allow for easy monitoring and alerting.

Exposing the Prometheus endpoint

The Prometheus- and Grafana-compatible endpoint on the Project Quay instance can be found at port 9092. See Monitoring Quay with Prometheus and Grafana for details on configuring Prometheus and Grafana to monitor Quay repository counts.

Setting up Prometheus to consume metrics

Prometheus needs a way to access all Project Quay instances running in a cluster. In the typical setup, this is done by listing all the Project Quay instances in a single named DNS entry, which is then given to Prometheus.

DNS configuration under Kubernetes

A simple Kubernetes service can be configured to provide the DNS entry for Prometheus. Details on running Prometheus under Kubernetes can be found at Prometheus and Kubernetes and Monitoring Kubernetes with Prometheus.

DNS configuration for a manual cluster

SkyDNS is a simple solution for managing this DNS record when not using Kubernetes. SkyDNS can run on an etcd cluster. Entries for each Project Quay instance in the cluster can be added and removed in the etcd store. SkyDNS will regularly read them from there and update the list of Quay instances in the DNS record accordingly.

Georeplication of storage in Project Quay

Georeplication allows for a single globally-distributed Project Quay to serve container images from localized storage.

When georeplication is configured, container image pushes will be written to the preferred storage engine for that Project Quay instance. After the initial push, image data will be replicated in the background to other storage engines. The list of replication locations is configurable. An image pull will always use the closest available storage engine, to maximize pull performance.

Prerequisites

Georeplication requires that there be a high availability storage engine (S3, GCS, RADOS, Swift) in each geographic region. Further, each region must be able to access every storage engine due to replication requirements.

Note	Local disk storage is not compatible with georeplication at this time.

Visit the Config Tool

Open the Project Quay Config Tool to configure storage for georeplication.

Enable storage replication

Scroll down to the section entitled Registry Storage.
Click Enable Storage Replication.
Add each of the storage engines to which data will be replicated. All storage engines to be used must be listed.
If complete replication of all images to all storage engines is required, under each storage engine configuration click Replicate to storage engine by default. This will ensure that all images are replicated to that storage engine. To instead enable per-namespace replication, please contact support.
When you are done, click Save Configuration Changes. Configuration changes will take effect the next time Project Quay restarts.
After adding storage and enabling “Replicate to storage engine by default” for Georeplications, you need to sync existing image data across all storage. To do this, you need to oc exec (or docker/kubectl exec) into the container and run:
```
# scl enable python27 bash
# python -m util.backfillreplication
```
This is a one time operation to sync content after adding new storage.

Run Project Quay with storage preferences

Copy the config.yaml to all machines running Project Quay
For each machine in each region, add a QUAY_DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_PREFERENCE environment variable with the preferred storage engine for the region in which the machine is running.

For example, for a machine running in Europe with the config directory on the host available from /mnt/quay/config:
```
# docker login quay.io
Username: yourquayuser
Password: *****
# docker run -d -p 443:8443 -p 8080:8080 -v /mnt/quay/config:/conf/stack:Z \
    -e QUAY_DISTRIBUTED_STORAGE_PREFERENCE=europestorage \
    <registry>/<repo>/quay:qui-gon
```
Note

The value of the environment variable specified must match the name of a Location ID as defined in the config panel.
Restart all Project Quay containers
