Images from a private registry / auth

[mmack]

It would be great to support the auth flag like the docker driver does: https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/drivers/docker#authentication

I have been testing this plugin, eveything works fine except the registry authentication. It would be great to have this.

Yes, this is a important feature. We will try to add it soon.

I checked our options. So far i found that the http API supports only very simple username/password authentication: https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/_static/api.html#operation/libpodImagesPull . I can imagine that we rather want credential helper support for AWS ECR and that alike.

On the other hand: console allows to use credential helpers and docker compatible auth files: https://www.mankier.com/5/containers-auth.json

What's your opinions? Should we start with a simple username/password option and grow it later once there is better API available?

It's quite possible that we could use the http API with credential helpers and that only some documentation is missing, see containers/podman#8993

[towe75]

It's indeed not possible to configure credential helpers via http API. This means that i will only implement a simple username/password authentication at this time.

@towe75 Sounds great to me! 👍

Implemented via #112

can we use this method to auth from AWS ECR private repo?
