hi everyone! is there a guide showing how to use a private docker registry (ghcr.io) to pull mcps, while still using the Quickstart mode ?

Hi Vincent! Yes! Here you can find list of env variables related to MCP orchestrator. The one you need is called *`ARCHESTRA_ORCHESTRATOR_MCP_SERVER_BASE_IMAGE`*

it will be used as a base image for all mcp servers that don't have image specified

I see, thank you. I guess my question was not very clear, I wanted to *pull _private_ images*. So my question is rather, is there a way to make Archestra using docker registry credentials ? I saw it probably involves K8 config (imagePullSecrets I think ?) which I don't really want to mess with ^^ I'm just experimenting, I'll stick to public ones for now.

Ah, I understand the problem now! Thank you for clarifying! I will push the PR for that, the usecase is quite valid
