Just a note as it was not easy to find documentation on this in Rancher Desktop / Kubernertes docs. Ended up following some dead ends.

If you want to point to foo.internal.images for your images you can try this:

kubectl create secret docker-registry yourcred -n your-namespace   
–docker-server=foo.internal.images   
–docker-username=   
–docker-password=   
–docker-email=

then configure your pods to use the pull secret

Also for some reason I think I may have had to do docker login foo.internal.images to get it to work.

I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future references when working with Rancher Desktop and Kubernetes.

It’s always helpful to have these specific steps documented, as they can save a lot of time and frustration. Thanks for sharing!
