@tsze From 4.6 onwards, the whole "Creating a mirror registry for installation in a restricted network" section is removed from the installation configuration book. See https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.8/installing/install_config/installing-customizing.html

Should the whole section be included again? Could there be a reason why it was removed in the first place?

Comment 4 To Hung Sze 2021-10-04 12:44:38 UTC
In my opinion, yes, I believe the whole section on how to create registry should be restored.

I do not know why it was removed - before my time. When I asked about it,I think I was just told "there was restructuring".

Not sure what that link about customizing nodes has to do with this topic.

Comment 5 Chinmayi Chandrasekhar 2021-10-12 13:42:30 UTC
@tsze: "Creating a mirror registry" was deliberately excluded from 4.6+ and "Adding the registry to your pull secret" is already here - https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/installing/installing-mirroring-installation-images.html#installation-adding-registry-pull-secret_installing-mirroring-installation-images.

Please let me know if we can close this bug.

@cchandra @tsze Is this what the team is looking for in 4.6+?

Comment 7 To Hung Sze 2021-10-14 14:07:54 UTC
When I wrote this bz, I was looking to have instructions on how to create the mirror registry included.
If it was removed on purpose, and that decision is still valid, then I will close this ticket.

Comment 8 Red Hat Bugzilla 2023-09-15 00:47:55 UTC
The needinfo request[s] on this closed bug have been removed as they have been unresolved for 500 days
