How to make Drone Docker plugin to authenticate with a self-hosted registry having a self-signed TLS certificate

I'm using Drone 1.0.0-rc1 with the Docker plugin. My docker registry is only accessible via TLS, however the certificate is self-signed. The whole docker ecosystem complains about it with a similar error message, in case of the Drone build it's this:

x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Normally I'm able to add the ca as a trusted authority to the OS running the different Docker solutions, however Drone is executing the builds (and the auth itself) inside a short-lived docker container.

How can I make it trust the cert?

A less than stellar but working solution is to add the following setting to the .drone.yml:

insecure: true

This makes it running the docker daemon with the --insecure-registry argument which according to the docs

First, try using HTTPS.

  • If HTTPS is available but the certificate is invalid, ignore the error about the certificate.
  • If HTTPS is not available, fall back to HTTP.

In my case I know that my registry isn't even exposed through HTTP so looks good enough.
