+## Pulling Docker images from private repositories
+To pull Docker Image from private repository you can use `imagePullSecrets`.
+
+Please follow the instructions on [creating a secret with a docker config](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/containers/images/?origin_team=T42NTAGHM#creating-a-secret-with-a-docker-config).
+
+### Docker Hub Configuration
+To use Docker Hub additional steps are required.
+
+Edit the previously created secret:
+```bash
+kubectl -n <namespace> edit secret <name>
+```
+
+The `.dockerconfigjson` key's value needs to be replaced with a modified version.
+
+After modifications it needs to be encoded as Base64 value before setting the `.dockerconfigjson` key:q.
+
+Example config file to modify and use:
+```
+{
+    "auths":{
+        "https://index.docker.io/v1/":{
+            "username":"user",
