Quadlets and image pull secrets

[christian-2]

Can Podman quadlets pull images that require image pull secrets ? I've seen no suitable option in quadlet(5), however this seems like a frequent and relevant use case. How can it be addressed?

Thanks for raising this.

IIRC there was already a discussion about this and a similar one about supporting the creation of secrets in general.
The main issue is where would you store the text data. Once we decide on a solution for this, the support could be added. For example, by adding a .registry file that other Quadlet files can depend one.

Did you have something in mind?

Thanks for your reply. For my purposes it would be sufficient if systemd .container (or for that matter registry) units would support an ImagePullSecret=. I would then place this option in a systemd drop-in unit with suitably restricted access rights.
