Configuration

A new IMAGESWAP_MODE environment variable has been added to control the imageswap logic for the webhook. The value should be LEGACY or MAPS (new default).

MAPS Mode

MAPS Mode enables a high degree of flexibility for the ImageSwap Webhook.

In MAPS mode, the webhook reads from a map file that defines one or more mappings (key/value pairs) for imageswap logic. With the map file configuration, swap logic for multiple registries and patterns can be configured. In contrast, the LEGACY mode only allowed for a single IMAGE_PREFIX to be defined for image swaps.

A map file is composed of key/value pairs separated by a :: and looks like this:

default::default.example.com
docker.io::my.example.com/mirror-
quay.io::quay.example3.com
gitlab.com::registry.example.com/gitlab
#gcr.io:: # This is a comment 
cool.io::
registry.internal.twr.io::registry.example.com
harbor.geo.pks.twr.io::harbor2.com ###### This is a comment with many symbols
noswap_wildcards::twr.io, walrus.io
# exact image mapping (full docker image name)
[EXACT]ghcr.io/fantasy/coolstuff:v1.0::my-local-registry.com/patched-coolstuff:latest
# replace image mapping (unix shell-style wildcards)
[REPLACE]ghcr.io/public*::my-local-registry.com

NOTE: Lines in the map file that are commented out with a leading # are ignored. Trailing comments following a map definition are also ignored.

NOTE: Previous versions of ImageSwap used a single : syntax to separate the key and value portions of a map definition. This syntax is deprecated as of v1.4.3 and will be removed in future versions. Please be sure to update any existing map file configurations to use the new syntax (ie. ::).

NOTE: Prior to v1.4.3 any use of a registry that includes a port for the key of a map definition will result in errors.

The only mapping that is required in the map_file is the default map. The default map alone provides similar functionality to the LEGACY mode.

A map definition that includes a key only can be used to disable image swapping for that particular registry.

A map file can also include a special noswap_wildcards mapping that disables swapping based on greedy pattern matching. Don't actually include an * in this section. A value of example is essentially equivalent to *example*. See examples below for more detail

By adding additional mappings to the map file, you can have much finer granularity to control swapping logic per registry.

Exact Image Mapping

Map definitions can become explicit mappings for individual images by using the [EXACT] prefix.

Usage:

[EXACT]<source-image>::<target-image>

Exact maps will be matched exactly against the <source-image> name and replaced with the <target-image> name. No inferences for registry (ie. docker.io/), or tag (ie. :latest) will be inferred for Exact maps.

Exact image matches are handled before all other mapping rules.

Replace Image Mapping

Image paths can be completely rewritten by using the [REPLACE] prefix.

Usage:

[REPLACE]<pattern>::<replacement>

When a <source-image> matches against a Replace rule, the image will be transformed to <replacement><image> where <image> includes the tag if it was specified as a part of <source-image>.

Replacement rules are handled after exact match rules, but before the rest.

Module used: fnmatch — Unix filename pattern matching

Example MAPS Configs

  • Disable image swapping for all registries EXCEPT gcr.io

    default:
    gcr.io::harbor.internal.example.com
    
  • Enable image swapping for all registries except gcr.io

    default::harbor.internal.example.com
    gcr.io::
    
  • Imitate LEGACY functionality as close as possible

    default::harbor.internal.example.com
    noswap_wildcards::harbor.internal.example.com
    

    With this, all images will be swapped except those that already match the harbor.internal.example.com pattern

  • Enable swapping for all registries except those that match the example.com pattern

    default::harbor.internal.example.com
    noswap_wildcards::example.com
    

    With this, images that have any part of the registry that matches example.com will skip the swap logic

    EXAMPLE:

    • example.com/image:latest
    • external.example.com/image:v1.0
    • edge.example.com/image:latest)
  • Enable swapping for all registries, but skip those that match the example.com pattern, except for external.example.com

    default:harbor.internal.example.com
    external.example.com:harbor.internal.example.com
    noswap_wildcards:example.com
    

    With this, the edge.example.com/image:latest image would skip swapping, but external.example.com/image:latest would be swapped to harbor.internal.example.com/image:latest

  • Enable different swapping for top level "library" images vs. images that are nested under a project/org

    Example library image: nginx:latest

    This format is a shortcut for docker.io/library/nginx:latest

    Official Docker documentation on image naming

    default::
    docker.io::
    docker.io/library::harbor.example.com/library
    

    This map uses a special syntax of adding /library to a registry for the key in map file.

    With this, the nginx:latest image would be swapped to harbor.example.com/library/nginx:latest, but the tmobile/magtape:latest image would be swapped to harbor.example.com/tmobile/magtape:latest

    This configuration can be useful for scenarios like Harbor's image proxy cache feature].

LEGACY Mode

DEPRECATED: This mode will be removed in a future release

Change the IMAGE_PREFIX environment variable definition in the imageswap-env-cm.yaml manifest to customize the repo/registry for the image prefix mutation.

Granularly Disable Image Swapping for a Workload

You can also customize the label used to granularly disable ImageSwap on a per workload basis. By default the k8s.twr.io/imageswap label is used, but you can override that by specifying a custom label with the IMAGESWAP_DISABLE_LABEL environment variable.

The value of the label should be disabled.

See the Break Glass: Per Workload section for more details.
