gitops-backend

This is a service for getting files from a remote Git API.

Installation

First of all, generate a GitHub access token.

You will need to create a secret in the correct namespace:

$ kubectl create -f deploy/namespace.yaml

$ kubectl create secret generic -n pipelines-app-delivery \
  pipelines-app-gitops --from-literal=token=GENERATE_ME

Then you can deploy the resources with:

$ kubectl apply -k deploy

Usage

Deploy the Deployment and Service into your cluster.

You can fetch with https://...?url=https://github.com/org/repo.git?secretNS=my-ns&secretName=my-secret

You'll need to provide your OpenShift authentication token (oc whoami --show-token) as a Bearer token.

$ curl -H "Authorization: $(oc whoami --show-token)" https://...?url=https://github.com/org/repo.git?secretNS=my-ns&secretName=my-secret

This token is used to authenticate the Kube client request to load the secret by name/namespace to authenticate the call to the upstream Git provider.

The token field in the named secret will be extracted and used to authenticate the request to the upstream Git hosting service.
