CatalogSource

How to debug a failing CatalogSource

The Catalog operator will constantly update the Status of CatalogSources to reflect its current state. You can check the Status of your CatalogSource with the following command:

$ kubectl -n my-namespace get catsrc my-catalog -o yaml | yq r - status

Note: It is possible that the Status is missing, which suggests that the Catalog operator is encountering an issue when processing the CatalogSource in a very early stage.

If the Status block does not provide enough information, check the Catalog operator’s logs.

If you are still unable to identify the cause of the failure, check if a pod was created for the CatalogSource. If a pod exists, review the pod’s yaml and logs:

$ kubectl -n my-namespace get pods
NAME                                READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
my-catalog-ltdlp         1/1     Running   0          8m31s

$ kubectl -n my-namespace get pod my-catalog-ltdlp -o yaml
...

$ kubectl -n my-namespace logs my-catalog-ltdlp
...

I’m not sure if a specific version of an operator is available in a CatalogSource

First verify that the CatalogSource contains the operator that you want to install:

$ kubectl -n my-namespace get packagemanifests
NAME                               CATALOG             AGE
...
portworx                           My Catalog Source   14m
postgres-operator                  My Catalog Source   14m
postgresql                         My Catalog Source   14m
postgresql-operator-dev4devs-com   My Catalog Source   14m
prometheus                         My Catalog Source   14m
...

If the operator is present, check if the version you want is available:

$ kubectl -n my-namespace get packagemanifests my-operator -o yaml

My CatalogSource cannot pull images from a private registry

If you are attempting to pull images from a private registry, make sure to specify a secret key in the CatalogSource.Spec.Secrets field.
