Nodelet phases

{"L":"INFO","T":"2023-12-01T07:01:51.885Z","C":"command/command.go:120","M":"[2023-12-01 07:01:51] docker: Error response from daemon: manifest for localhost:5100/kube-proxy:v1.20.11 not found: manifest unknown: manifest unknown."}

Environment

• Platform9 Edge Cloud (PEC) - Airctl v-5.3.0-2075501

Solution

Manually push the Docker registry from DU Host to the DU VM.

Procedure to manually push the images:

Verify if the DU host has the required docker registry tar available at /opt/pf9/airctl/imgs/docker-imgs-{airctl-version}.tar.gz.

Tar on DU Host

# la /opt/pf9/airctl/imgs/docker-imgs-v-5.3.0-2075501.tar.gz

Once tar is available for the required Airctl version, proceed with the below steps to push the Docker registry from the DU host to DU VM.

1. Execute the push-images command as shown below:

On DU Host

# /opt/pf9/airctl/airctl --config /opt/pf9/airctl/conf/airctl-config.yaml advanced-du push-images --img-tar /opt/pf9/airctl/imgs/docker-imgs-v-5.3.0-2075501.tar.gz --verbose

On success

1. Verify if the images are available now.

    .
    . 
     // multiple images should list here
    .
    "prometheus-operator/prometheus-operator",
    "python"
  ]
}

1. Once confirmed with the above output, docker images are successfully extracted to the DU VM.

2. Restart the Nodeletd stack as mentioned in https://platform9.com/kb/kubernetes/how-to-restart-pmk-stack-
