# Using a Custom Image Registry for the connectware-agent Helm Chart

You can use a custom image registry, if it provides the necessary image for your agents.

To change the registry for the agent, specify the address under which the image is pull-able in the `image.registry` value inside the agents entry in `protocolMapperAgents` context of your `values.yaml` file.

**Example**

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```yaml
protocolMapperAgents:
  - name: bender-robots
    connectwareHost: connectware.cybus # adjust to actual hostname of Connectware
    image:
      registry: registry.my-company.tld/cybus
```

{% endcode %}

If your custom registry requires authentication, you must also provide a manually created `kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson` secret in the `image.pullSecrets` list inside the agents entry in `protocolMapperAgents` context of your `values.yaml` file.

**Example**

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```yaml
protocolMapperAgents:
  - name: bender-robots
    connectwareHost: connectware.cybus # adjust to actual hostname of Connectware
    image:
      registry: registry.my-company.tld/cybus
      pullSecrets:
        - name: my-company-pull-secret
```

{% endcode %}

Hint: `kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson` secrets can be created with this command:

{% code lineNumbers="true" %}

```bash
kubectl create secret <secret-name> --docker-server=<registry-address> --docker-username=<username> --docker-password=<password> --docker-email=<user-email>
```

{% endcode %}
