Describe the bug

/ $ argocd-image-updater test gouthamappsmith/tests-argocd:release --update-strategy latest
DEBU[0000] Creating in-cluster Kubernetes client

My registries configmap look as follows

apiVersion: v1

      api_url: none
      credentials: pullsecret:argocd/appsmith

Same creds work when i do a docker login

I created the secret as follows

kubectl create -n argocd secret docker-registry appsmith --docker-username=xxxx --docker-password=xxx

and it is working in the same cluster as imagePullSecrets. Also, occasionally i see Too many pull Requests despite providing my credentials and authenticating myself

Am i missing anything? anyhelp would be off great use Thankyou

I tried the following and it worked.

Create a secret using dockerhub PAT using the following link

cat docker-secret.yaml
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: dockerhub
  namespace: argocd
type: Opaque
stringData:
  token: gouthamappsmith:xxxxxxxxxx

argocd-image-updater.yaml as the following

---
image:
  tag: "latest"

metrics:
  enabled: true

config:
  registries:
    - name: Docker Hub
      credentials: secret:argocd/dockerhub#token
      api_url: https://registry-1.docker.io
      ping: yes
      default: true

Installed argcd-image-updater using the following

helm upgrade -i updater -n argocd argo/argocd-image-updater -f argocd-image-updater.yaml

However, upon deploying i see these logs

time="2024-01-02T08:54:12Z" level=info msg="Successfully updated the live application spec" application=appsmith
time="2024-01-02T08:54:12Z" level=info msg="Processing results: applications=1 images_considered=2 images_skipped=0 images_updated=2 errors=0"

But, I don't see the image not getting updated. Anything i am missing ? I deliberately , didn't go with git commits ?

Just wanted to add some traffic to this, we have a similar situation.

We use Azure Container Registry, and when I tried to configure a registry-wide pull secret, it wouldn't auth (but I could curl the same /tag/list endpoint with the same creds).

When I set each image in the image list to use the same pull secret individually, it works.

So I think there's a disconnect somewhere between the registry-wide config (which uses https://????.azurecr.io for it's api url), and the image list which omits the https when defining images.

I'm guessing when it goes to compare to decide if it needs to use that specific registry, it doesn't consider it a match? Just a stab in the dark.
