Tekton development environment

• go : installation depends on your operating system
• ko : go get -u github.com/google/go-containerregistry/cmd/ko
• kubernetes
  • minikube
  • minishift
  • …

We need to configure ko (using KO_DOCKER_REPO) so that it can deploy the working copy code into our development cluster.

• minikube (or minishift) with docker as container runtime

  1. Make sure your local docker command-line points to the VM daemon

     eval $(minikube docker-env)
     # eval $(minishift docker-env) # for minishift
     

  2. Use ko.local as KO_DOCKER_REPO — it’s a special case handled by ko

     export KO_DOCKER_REPO=ko.local
     

• for any cluster using another runtime (or a remote cluster), you need to use a registry that will be accessible from the cluster (gcr.io or your own – the docker hub doesn’t work with ko).

1. tektoncd/pipeline needs to sit on the right place in your GOPATH

   $ echo $GOPATH
   /home/vincent
   $ pwd
   /home/vincent/src/github.com/tektoncd/pipeline
   

2. Deploy 💃

   $ ko apply -f ./config

Let’s validate it works by running a simple example

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: build-simple
spec:
  steps:
  - name: build-simple
    image: docker.io/library/busybox
    command:
    - /bin/sh
    args:
    - -c
    - "echo hello world"
---
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1alpha1
kind: TaskRun
metadata:
  name: build-simple
spec:
  taskRef:
    name: build-simple
  trigger:
    type: manual

$ kubectl apply -f ./test.yaml
task.tekton.dev/build-simple created
taskrun.tekton.dev/build-simple created

Let’s now look at what’s in our namespace

$ kubectl get all
NAME                          READY     STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
pod/build-simple-pod-ada879   0/2       Completed   0          10s

service/kubernetes   ClusterIP   10.96.0.1    <none>        443/TCP   26m

NAME                           AGE
