How do I attach subscription data to containers running in Docker not provided by Red Hat?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Docker or Podman, as provided by Red Hat on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 or 8, automatically mounts host subscription data into containers as a secret via the /run/secrets directory.
  • Docker as provided by other vendors, or any Docker package not provided by Red Hat, may not provide methods for automatically attaching subscription data.
  • What manual steps can be taken to automatically attach host entitlement data directly into containers running non-Red Hat container solutions?

Environment

  • Non-Red Hat container solution such as Docker-CE or Docker-EE
  • Non-Red Hat Kubernetes solutions
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8
  • Red Hat provided base images such as registry.redhat.io/rhel7 or registry.redhat.io/ubi8
