Uploading SR Linux container images for Digital Sandbox

This procedure describes how to upload SR Linux container images to Fabric Services Systems deployed with a Digital Sandbox.

Ensure that the software catalog is updated with the latest SR Linux container image. To update the software catalog, see Adding a new network operating system version to the software catalog.

Select the option for your deployment scenario.
- If the deployer VM has access to the Internet, go to Step 2.
- If the deployer VM does not have access to the Internet, go to Step 3.

Use the built-in Skopeo tool to upload the SR Linux container images.

Enter the following command:

skopeo copy  --src-tls-verify=false --dest-tls-verify=false docker://ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:<SRL Version> docker://localhost/registry.gitlabsr.nuq.ion.nokia.net/sr/linux/fsp/srl-registry/srlinux:<SRL Version>

[root@fss-deployer-vm ~]# skopeo copy  --src-tls-verify=false --dest-tls-verify=false docker://ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:22.6.1-281 docker://localhost/registry.gitlabsr.nuq.ion.nokia.net/sr/linux/fsp/srl-registry/srlinux:22.6.1-281

[root@blrsrlfsp12-deployer-vm ~]#

Go to Step 4.

If the deployer VM does not have access to the Internet, use the Docker CLI to upload the container images.

You must have machine/VM (referred to as docker-host in this procedure) with Internet access and Docker installed. Run the below commands on the docker-host.

Pull the required SR Linux container image from the ghcr.io repository to the docker-host.

Use the following command:

docker pull ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:<SRL Version>

[usr@docker-host ~]$ docker pull ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:22.6.4-90
22.6.4-90: Pulling from nokia/srlinux
72e3470bdea0: Pull complete
Digest: sha256:edcd5354061c91201361cf0e42cdb9e428b2f3d9847a3ecb58c896a3582a668d
Status: Downloaded newer image for ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:22.6.4-90
ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:22.6.4-90

Tag the image for the deployer VM.

Use the following command:

[usr@docker-host ~]$ docker tag ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:<SRL Version> <deployer VM IP>/registry.gitlabsr.nuq.ion.nokia.net/sr/linux/fsp/srl-registry/srlinux:<SRL Version>

[usr@docker-host ~]$ docker tag ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:22.6.4-90 10.10.10.123/registry.gitlabsr.nuq.ion.nokia.net/sr/linux/fsp/srl-registry/srlinux:22.6.4-90

Update the deployer VM IP address under the insecure-registries section of the /etc/docker/daemon.json file in the docker-host.

[usr@docker-host ~]$ cat /etc/docker/daemon.json
{
    "registry-mirrors": [
        https://docker-registry-remote.artifactory-espoo1.int.net.abc.com,
        https://docker-registry-remote.artifactory-espoo2.int.net.abc.com,
        https://docker-registry-remote.artifactory-fpark1.int.net.abc.com,
        https://docker-registry-remote.artifactory-blr1.int.net.abc.com
    ],
    "insecure-registries" : [
        "registry.gitlabsr.nuq.ion.abc.net",
        "10.10.10.123"
    ]
}

Push the container image to the deployer VM.

Use the following command:

[usr@docker-host ~]$ docker push <deployer VM IP>/registry.gitlabsr.nuq.ion.nokia.net/sr/linux/fsp/srl-registry/srlinux:<SRL Version>

Go to Step 4.

Display the SR Linux container images in the deployer repository.

[root@fss-deployer-vm ~]# docker_img_list.sh list localhost registry.gitlabsr.nuq.ion.nokia.net/sr/linux/fsp/srl-registry/srlinux
