I have a kubernetes cluster with 1 master and 2 workers. All nodes have their IP address. Let's call them like this:

  • master-0
  • worker-0
  • worker-1

The network pod policy and all my nodes communication are setting up correctly, all works perfectly. If I specify this infrastructure, it's just to be more specific about my case.

Using helm I have created a chart which deploy a basic nginx. It's a docker image that I build on my private gitlab registry.

With the gitlab ci, I have created a job which used two functions:

# Init helm client on k8s cluster for using helm with gitlab runner
function init_helm() {
  docker login -u "$CI_REGISTRY_USER" -p "$CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD" "$CI_REGISTRY"
  mkdir -p /etc/deploy
  echo ${kube_config} | base64 -d > ${KUBECONFIG}
  kubectl config use-context ${K8S_CURRENT_CONTEXT}
  helm init --client-only
  helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com/
  helm repo add incubator https://kubernetes-charts-incubator.storage.googleapis.com/
  helm repo update
}

# Deploy latest tagged image on k8s cluster
function deploy_k8s_cluster() {
  echo "Create and apply secret for docker gitlab runner access to gitlab private registry ..."
  kubectl create secret -n "$KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE_OVERWRITE" \
    docker-registry gitlab-registry \
    --docker-server="https://registry.gitlab.com/v2/" \
    --docker-username="${CI_DEPLOY_USER:-$CI_REGISTRY_USER}" \
    --docker-password="${CI_DEPLOY_PASSWORD:-$CI_REGISTRY_PASSWORD}" \
    --docker-email="$GITLAB_USER_EMAIL" \
    -o yaml --dry-run | kubectl replace -n "$KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE_OVERWRITE" --force -f -
  echo "Build helm dependancies in $CHART_TEMPLATE"
  cd $CHART_TEMPLATE/
  helm dep build
  export DEPLOYS="$(helm ls | grep $PROJECT_NAME | wc -l)"
  if [[ ${DEPLOYS}  -eq 0 ]]; then
    echo "Creating the new chart ..."
    helm install --name ${PROJECT_NAME} --namespace=${KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE_OVERWRITE} . -f values.yaml
  else
  echo "Updating the chart ..."
    helm upgrade ${PROJECT_NAME} --namespace=${KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE_OVERWRITE} . -f values.yaml
  fi
} 

The first function allow the gitlabrunner to login with docker, init helm and kubectl. The second to deploy on the cluster my image.

All the process works well, e-g my jobs are passed on the gitlab ci, no error occurred except for the deployment of the pod.

Indeed I have this error:

Failed to pull image "registry.gitlab.com/path/to/repo/project/image:TAG_NUMBER": rpc error: code

As you can see, I created a secret on my ci job, no error occurred here too. In my chart, I declare this same secret (by his name) in values.yaml file, which allow deployment.yaml to use it.

So I do not understand where I am wrong. Why I get this error ?

Can't be a network policy it seems to me, since forbidden is a remote host response.Daniel Farrell
Seems that your docker registry could not recognize docker-username or docker-passwordNick_Kh

Extending my last comment, I suppose that TAG_NUMBER variable is somewhere in your CI Gitlab job. However, you are not able to be authorized with the assigned variables in --docker-username and --docker-password docker flags. Have you checked the credentials used for the connection to docker-registry? Or it might be the option to manage secret within a GitLab Runner Helm Chart template.
