+## Deploy from a Private Registry
+
+In addition to creating the Component and Workload resources as shown above, pulling images from a private registry requires setting up authentication. You need to:
+
+1. Store your registry credentials in your secret store
+2. Add an ExternalSecret resource to your ComponentType to sync the credentials
+3. Add `imagePullSecrets` to the Deployment in your ComponentType
+
+### Store Registry Credentials
+
+:::note
+This example uses the `default` ClusterSecretStore included with the default OpenChoreo installation. For production environments, see [Secret Management](../operations/secret-management.mdx) to configure a proper secret backend.
+:::
+
+Here's an example using Docker Hub:
+
+**1. Generate the auth string** (base64-encoded `username:password`):
+
+```bash
+echo -n "your-dockerhub-username:your-access-token" | base64
+```
+
+**2. Create the Docker config JSON:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "auths": {
+    "https://index.docker.io/v1/": {
+      "auth": "<your-base64-auth-string>"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**3. Store the credentials in the ClusterSecretStore:**
+
+```bash
+kubectl patch clustersecretstore default --type='json' -p='[
+  {
+    "op": "add",
+    "path": "/spec/provider/fake/data/-",
+    "value": {
+      "key": "registry-credentials",
+      "value": "{\"auths\":{\"https://index.docker.io/v1/\":{\"auth\":\"<your-base64-auth-string>\"}}}"
+    }
+  }
+]'
+```
+
+Replace `<your-base64-auth-string>` with the value generated in step 1.
+
+### Update Your ComponentType
+
+Add an ExternalSecret resource to sync the registry credentials:
+
+```yaml
+- id: registry-pull-secret
+  template:
+    apiVersion: external-secrets.io/v1
+    kind: ExternalSecret
+    metadata:
+      name: registry-pull-secret
+      namespace: ${metadata.namespace}
+    spec:
+      refreshInterval: 15s
+      secretStoreRef:
+        name: ${dataplane.secretStore}
+        kind: ClusterSecretStore
+      target:
+        name: registry-pull-secret
+        creationPolicy: Owner
+        template:
+          type: kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson
+      data:
+        - secretKey: .dockerconfigjson
+          remoteRef:
+            key: registry-credentials
+```
+
+Then add `imagePullSecrets` to your Deployment template:
+
+```yaml
+- id: deployment
+  template:
+    apiVersion: apps/v1
+    kind: Deployment
+    metadata:
+      name: ${metadata.name}
+      namespace: ${metadata.namespace}
+    spec:
+      template:
+        spec:
+          imagePullSecrets:
+            - name: registry-pull-secret
+          containers:
+            - name: main
+              image: ${workload.containers.main.image}
+              # ... rest of container config
+```
