kubernetes : Containers not starting using private registry - docker

Question

I have a working installation with kubernetes 1.1.1 running on debian
I also have a private registry working nice running in v2 ..
I am facing a weird problem.
defining a pod in master
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx
labels:
app: nginx
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: docker-registry.hiberus.com:5000/debian:ssh
imagePullSecrets:
- name: myregistrykey
I also have the secret on my master
myregistrykey kubernetes.io/dockercfg 1 44m
and my config.json is made this way
{
"auths": {
"https://docker-registry.hiberus.com:5000": {
"auth": "anNhdXJhOmpzYXVyYQ==",
"email": "jsaura#heraldo.es"
}
}
}
and so I did the base64 and created my secret.
simple as hell
on my node the image gets pulled without any problem
docker images

it loops internally trying to start but it never does
the weird thing is that if y do a run command on my node manually the container starts without any problem, but using the pod pulls the image but never starts ..
am I doing something wrong?
if I use a public image for my pod it starts without any problem .. this only happens to me when using private images ..
I have also moved from debian to ubuntu, no luck same problem
I have also linked the secret to de default service account, still no luck
cloned last git version, compiled, no luck ..
It is clear for me that the problem is using private registry, but I have applied and followed all info I have read and still no luck.

Answer 1

A docker container could exit if it's main process has exit.
Could you share container logs ?
if you do docker ps -a you should see all running and exited containers
Run docker container logs container_id
Also try running your container in interactive and daemon mode and see if it fails only in daemon mode.
Running in daemon mode -
docker run -d -t Image_name
Running in interactive mode -
docker run -it Image_name
for interactive daemon mode docker run -idt Image_name
