Install Istio by using istioctl from private registry

I need to install istio from a private registry, I can set the private registry with "--set hub=xxx.xxx.io" but didn't find a way to provide image pull secrets as my registry is login required.

Solution

I think the value you're looking for is global.imagePullSecrets. There is related github issue and documentation about that.

global.imagePullSecrets []  Lists the secrets you need to use to pull Istio images from a private registry.

You should be able to change it either with

istioctl

istioctl install --set values.global.imagePullSecrets

or

istio operator

apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
  values:
    global:
      imagePullSecrets:

Additionally there is thread on discuss.istio about that.
