Connecting to codefresh image registry via kubectl, problem with secrets

Question

I am trying to deploy an application via kubectl using an image stored on Codefresh. I have it running perfectly when i place the image on a public registry.

The problem is when I apply the deployment.yaml I get a "ImagePullBackOff" error on the pods. I'm assuming, i think correctly, that this is because I need a secret to be able to access my Codefresh image.

This is the container part of my current deployment.yaml:

spec:
      containers:
        - name: dockapp
        #States the image that will be put inside the pod. Secret to get access is declared below
        #registry.hub.docker.com/jamiedovu/dockapp:latest
          image:  r.cfcr.io/jamiew87/my-app-image:master
          ports:
          - containerPort: 8080
            name: http
      imagePullSecrets:
      - name: regcred

My question is, what is it i need to put into the secret "regcred" to be able to connect to this private registry. The Kubernetes documentation only demonstrates how to do one for docker.

I think it's explained in the docs.

export DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER=r.cfcr.io
export DOCKER_USER=YOUR_USERNAME
export DOCKER_PASSWORD=YOUR_REGISTRY_PASSWORD
export DOCKER_EMAIL=YOUR_EMAIL

kubectl create secret docker-registry cfcr\
 --docker-server=$DOCKER_REGISTRY_SERVER\
 --docker-username=$DOCKER_USER\
 --docker-password=$DOCKER_PASSWORD\
 --docker-email=$DOCKER_EMAIL
