How to pass image pull secret while using ‘kubectl run’ command?

You can use the overrides if you specify it right, it’s an array in the end, that took me a bit to figure out, the below works on Kubernetes of at least 1.6:

--overrides="{ "spec": { "template": { "spec": { "imagePullSecrets": [{"name": "your-registry-secret"}] } } } }"

for example

kubectl run -i -t hello-world --rm --generator=run-pod/v1 \
--image=eu.gcr.io/your-registry/hello-world \
--image-pull-policy="IfNotPresent" \
--overrides="{ "spec": { "template": { "spec": { "imagePullSecrets": [{"name": "your-registry-secret"}] } } } }"
