Configure Booster for Installation

    To configure the booster, you need a registry mirror address. See the following example to see how you can get a booster URL from Alibaba Cloud.

    1. Log in the console of Alibaba Cloud and enter “container registry” in the search bar. Click Container Registry in the drop-down list as below.

    image-booster

    1. You can find the Booster URL in the image below as well as the official guide from Alibaba Cloud to help you configure the booster.

    Set Registry Mirror

    You can configure the Docker daemon directly or use KubeKey to set the configuration.

    Note

    Docker needs to be installed in advance for this method.

    1. Execute the following commands:
    1. Add the registry-mirrors key and value to the file.

    Make sure you replace the address within the quotation mark above with your own Booster URL.

    1. Save the file and reload Docker by executing the following commands so that the change can take effect.

      Use KubeKey to set the registry mirror

      1. After you create a config-sample.yaml file with KubeKey before installation, navigate to registry in the file.
      2.     registryMirrors: [] # For users who need to speed up downloads
      4.     privateRegistry: "" # Configure a private image registry for air-gapped installation (e.g. docker local registry or Harbor)

      Note

      If you adopt all-in-one installation, refer to the first method because a config-sample.yaml file is not needed for this mode.
