Chapter 2. Installing Service Registry on OpenShift

This chapter explains how to install Service Registry on OpenShift Container Platform:

Prerequisites

Important

Service Registry is a Technology Preview feature only. Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend using them in production.

These features provide early access to upcoming product features, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about the support scope of Red Hat Technology Preview features, see https://access.redhat.com/support/offerings/techpreview.

2.1. Installing Service Registry from the OpenShift OperatorHub

You can install the Service Registry Operator on your OpenShift cluster from the OperatorHub. The OperatorHub is available from the OpenShift Container Platform web console and provides an interface for cluster administrators to discover and install Operators. For more details, see the OpenShift documentation.

Note

You can install more than one instance of Service Registry depending on your environment. The number of instances depends on the number and type of artifacts stored in Service Registry and on your chosen storage option.

Prerequisites

  • You must have cluster administrator access to an OpenShift cluster.

Procedure

  1. In the OpenShift Container Platform web console, log in using an account with cluster administrator privileges.

  2. Create a new OpenShift project:

    1. In the left navigation menu, click Home, Project, and then Create Project.
    2. Enter a project name, for example, my-project, and click Create.
  3. In the left navigation menu, click Operators and then OperatorHub.
  4. In the Filter by keyword text box, enter registry to find the Red Hat Integration - Service Registry Operator.
  5. Read the information about the Operator, and click Install to display the Operator subscription page.

  6. Select your subscription settings, for example:

    • Update Channel: Select one of the following:

      • 2.0.x: Includes patch updates only, such as 2.0.1 and 2.0.2. For example, an installation on 2.0.x automatically ignores 2.1.x.
      • 2.x: Includes all minor and patch updates, such as 2.1.0 and 2.0.1. For example, an installation on 2.0.x automatically upgrades to 2.1.x.

    • Installation Mode: Select one of the following:

      • All namespaces on the cluster (default)
      • A specific namespace on the cluster and then my-project
    • Approval Strategy: Select Automatic or Manual
  7. Click Install, and wait a few moments until the Operator is ready for use.
