Wipe local container storage clean

To ensure that container images with sigstore signatures are correctly downloaded and verified, you must clear existing local storage. Removing previous container data prevents configuration conflicts when you update security policies for MicroShift.

Prerequisites
  • You have administrator access to the MicroShift host.

  • You enabled sigstore on your mirror registries.

Procedure
  1. Stop the CRI-O container runtime service and MicroShift by running the following command:

    $ sudo systemctl stop crio microshift
  2. Wipe the CRI-O container runtime storage clean by running the following command:

    $ sudo crio wipe --force
  3. Restart the CRI-O container runtime service and MicroShift by running the following command:

    $ sudo systemctl start crio microshift
Verification

Verify that all pods are running in a healthy state by entering the following command:

$ oc get pods -A
