forklift deployment in dark / DMZ clusters

[jsakil14]

I am looking for options to deploy forklift on kubevirt cluster which is running in DMZ zone without access to quay.io repo. Can we build the images to local artifactory? any reference to doc will be helpful.

I'm not sure if you still need this reply at this point. In my recent attempts, I referred to the instructions in kubev2v/forklift/release-2.7 README. You can also use skopeo to sync images from Quay to your own private registry. Once the image is available in your private registry, you can create a subscription (subs) and inject the image name as an environment variable via config: env. After that, it should work as expected.

Let me know if you need further assistance!

Here’s an example Subscription YAML that demonstrates how to configure the forklift-operator with custom image names injected via environment variables. This aligns with the approach I mentioned earlier (syncing images to a private registry and specifying them in the config: env section). Below is the sample configuration:

apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: Subscription

    cpaas.io/target-namespaces: ""
