can't pull image from http registry using podman

[k19810703]

I edited config file as below, added private insecure registry.

$ cat /etc/containers/registries.conf
[[registry]]
prefix = "9.197.12.29:5000"
location = "9.197.12.29:5000"
insecure = true

When I use podman to pull image , got below error

podman pull 9.197.12.29:5000/myimage
Trying to pull 9.197.12.29:5000/myimage:latest...
Error: initializing source docker://9.197.12.29:5000/myimage:latest: pinging container registry 9.197.12.29:5000: Get "https://9.197.12.29:5000/v2/": http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client

Any advice to fix that.

Looks like there is no container registry listening at this port?

That configuration looks reasonable at a first glance.

Please provide the full output of podman --log-level=debug pull … (and in particular, verify that the expected config files are read).

No,

http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client

indicates that there is a server and it is responding.

Oh, this is remote Podman? In that case the relevant /etc/containers/registries.conf should be one on the server, not the one on the client. I’m not sure how/if ever that is automatically populated from the client, that’s a Podman question.

[rhatdan]

No you need to update the registries.conf in the server.
You can join the server with
podman machine ssh

@k19810703 did you manage to get this working?

[mtrmac]

Assuming this is no longer an issue; please reopen if that’s not the case.
