On the stager, the stager process is running with -insecureDockerRegistry

-logLevel=info. Shouldn't theregistryname also be in stager arguments?

No, that flag is simply a boolean switch [1].

The error:

2015-08-27T18:43:00.50-0400 [STG/0] ERR builder exited with error:

certificate signed by unknown authority. If this private registry supports
only HTTP or HTTPS with an unknown CA certificate, please add
`--insecure-registry theregistryname` to the daemon's arguments. In the
case of HTTPS, if you have access to the registry's CA certificate, no need
for the flag; simply place the CA certificate at /etc/docker/certs.d/
theregistryname/ca.crt

This message comes from `docker_app_lifecycle` [2]. It looks like that's
called by the stager, but for some reason the stager isn't passing the
right args through to it in your case. I'm afraid I don't know the Diego
code well enough to speculate as to why, but if you want to continue
tracing it through, you might want to start at [3], which is where the
stager works out what args it will pass to `docker_app_lifecycle`.

Hope that helps!

A registry with a private/self-signed cert fails at the stager.
I've got the name of the registry in insecure_docker_registry_list and
insecure_docker_registry: true in the manifest.
On the cell, the garden-linux process is running with
-insecureDockerRegistryList=theregistryname.
On the stager, the stager process is running with -insecureDockerRegistry

Shouldn't theregistryname also be in stager arguments?

(change the hostname to "theregistryname" in this message...the real
hostname can be resolved and reached on each machine)
