I think I solved the issue on the invalid reference format, I used

<http://registry.gitlab.com|registry.gitlab.com>

for the registry argument.. now after importing the tag.. its just showing connection refused.. but I think its because of my secret. so I might need to look into it.

@most-butcher-45295 did you figure out the connection refused issue? I’m getting the same thing (https://rancher-users.slack.com/archives/C04PPGWAWNR/p1727723726322019?thread_ts=1727712074.667999&channel=C04PPGWAWNR&message_ts=1727723726.322019).

check your authentication.. make sure you created the secret under

cattle-ui-plugin-system

In my case it’s a public repo on harbor so there shouldn’t be any authentication. And that IP looks like it’s a Kubernetes service on the local rancher cluster… it’s not the IP of my harbor image registry.

if im not mistaken, dont quote me, that IP is pointed somewhere in rancher, might be deployments or pod, which it will be the one who will communicate on your registry, which on your setup is

harbor

but im not very sure, maybe check your firewalls, maybe its blocking rancher to communicate with harbor..

Ok thanks for the thoughts. I’ll check that out.
