EDB private image registries
The images for the EDB Postgres Distributed for Kubernetes and EDB Postgres for
Kubernetes operators, as well as various operands, are kept in private
container image registries under docker.enterprisedb.com.
Important
Access to the private registries requires an account with EDB and is reserved for EDB customers with a valid subscription plan. Credentials are run through your EDB account. For trials, see Trials.
Which repository to choose?
EDB Postgres Distributed for Kubernetes is available as part of the Extreme High Availability Add-On on top of either the EDB Enterprise Plan or EDB Standard Plan.
Depending on your subscription plan, EDB Postgres Distributed for Kubernetes is in one of the following repositories.
| Plan | Repository |
|---|---|
| EDB Standard Plan | k8s_standard_pgd |
| EDB EnterpriseDB Plan | k8s_enterprise_pgd |
Use the name of the repository as the username when you
log in to the EDB container registry, for example, through docker login or a
kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson pull secret.
Important
Each repository contains all the images you can access with your plan. You don't need to connect to different repositories to access different images, such as operator or operand images.
How to retrieve the token
In the repos page in EDB, is an EDB Repos 2.0 section where a repo token appears obscured.
Next to the repo token is a Copy Token button to copy the token and an eye icon for looking at the content of the token.
Use the repo token as the password when you log in to the EDB container registry.
Example with docker login
You can log in using Docker from your terminal. We suggest that you
copy the repo token using Copy Token. The docker command prompts you for a username and a password.
The username is the repo you're trying to access, and the password is the token you just copied:
$ docker login docker.enterprisedb.com
Username: k8s_enterprise_pgd
Password:

If you're a trialist or a preview user, use k8s_enterprise_pgd as the name
of the repository, and follow the instructions in
How to retrieve the token for the token.
Operand images
EDB Postgres Distributed for Kubernetes is an operator that supports running EDB Postgres Distributed (PGD) version 5 on three PostgreSQL distributions:
- PostgreSQL
- EDB Postgres Advanced Server
- EDB Postgres Extended
Important
See Choosing a Postgres distribution in the PGD documentation for details and a comparison of PGD on the different supported PostgreSQL distributions.
Due to the immutable application container adoption in EDB operators, the operator expects for the container images to include all the binaries required to run the requested version of PGD on top of the required distribution and version of Postgres.
These images follow the requirements and the conventions described in
Container image requirements
in the EDB Postgres for Kubernetes documentation, adding the bdr5
extension.
The table shows the image name prefix for each Postgres distribution.
| Postgres distribution | Versions | Image name | Repositories |
|---|---|---|---|
| EDB Postgres Extended | 15, 14 | edb-postgres-extended-pgd | k8s_standard_pgd, k8s_enterprise_pgd |
| EDB Postgres Advanced | 15, 14 | edb-postgres-advanced-pgd | k8s_enterprise_pgd |
