This readme contains guidance for developers. covering building the kraan-controller, setting up a development environment and testing the kraan-controller.
clone [Kraan repository] or fork it and clone your fork.
This project requires the following software:
golangci-lint version = 1.38.0
golang version >= 1.14.6
mockgen = v1.4.4
kubebuilder = v2.3.1
flux = latest
helm - v3.3.4
You can install kubebuilder, golangci-lint, mockgen, helm, kind and flux using the ‘setup.sh’ script:
bin/setup.sh
The Makefile in the project’s top level directory will compile, build and test all components.
make
Alternatively you can run make in a docker container.
make check
If you change the golang source in the api directory such that the custom resource definition is changed you need to rin make manifests to regenerate the crd yaml in config/crd/bases/kraan.io_addonslayers.yaml and then cut an paste the contents of this file into chart/templates/kraan/crd.yaml, retaining the first and last line of this file.
A shell script is provided to perform goimports, gofmt, run linter and tests on a per package basis.
bin/package.sh <relative path to package>
For example to run this on the kubectl package:
bin/package.sh pkg/internal/kubectl
To build docker image type:
export REPO=<name of docker repository>
export VERSION=<version> # use to generate the image tag
make dev-build
If you require a proxy to access the internet set the DOCKER_BUILD_PROXYS environmental variable before doing ‘make build’, e.g.
export DOCKER_BUILD_PROXYS="--build-arg HTTP_PROXY=$HTTP_PROXY --build-arg HTTPS_PROXY=$HTTPS_PROXY"
For security reasons the image created uses gcr.io/distroless/static:latest with user nobody. When debugging issues it is sometimes useful to be able to access a shell in the pod container and install additional tools. To facilitate this a dev-build make target is provided which builds an image using ubuntu and allows root access. When deploying this development image use the --kraan-dev option when running the scripts/deploy.sh utility (see Deployment section below) to allow writes to the container filesystem.
Then to deploy the docker container:
docker login <docker repository>
make docker-push-prerelease
If the VERSION is not set the contents of the VERSION file will be used. The REPO will default to docker.pkg.github.com/fidelity/kraan which only users with privileges on the fidelity organization will be able to push to. However if you fork the Kraan repository then the default will be docker.pkg.github.com/<org/user you forked to>/kraan. To use docker hub, set the REPO environmental variable to kraan.
The offical releases use docker hub repository: kraan/kraan-controller. The ‘master’ tag will be contain a version of kraan built from the master branch. Release versions will be deployed to this repository for public use.
Helm Charts are deployed to github pages so can be accessed via repo: kraan https://fidelity.github.io/kraan/
helm repo add kraan https://fidelity.github.io/kraan/
helm search repo --regexp kraan --versions
To create a release set VERSION to the Kraan-Controller version, REPO to ‘kraan’ and CHART_VERSION to the chart version, then build and push the image:
export REPO=kraan
make clean-build
make build
make docker-push
export CHART_VERSION=v0.1.xx
make release
The ‘release’ target will update the tag in the values file, package the chart and deploy it to gh-pages.
Finally use github web interface to create a tag.
To update the gitops toolkit components (Helm Controller and Source Controller) run the deploy.sh script with the ‘–toolkit’ option
scripts/deploy.sh --toolkit
Then compare the file produced with the equivalent sections in the chart directory and updat the chart files accordingly. Once the changes are tested and merged into master, create a new chart release as described above.
./VERSION a new release will be made according to the below scenariosmaster automatically triggers a lint, test, build, and prerelease of the container image tag version kraan/kraan-controller-prerelease:<VERSION>.master triggers a lint, test, build, and release of the container image tag and helm chart version kraan/kraan-controller:<VERSION> if VERSION has changed.A shell script is provided to deploy the artifacts necessary to test the kraan-controller to a kubernetes cluster. It does this using a helm client to install a helm chart containing the Kraan Controller and the GitOps Toolkit (flux) components it uses.

Install the Kraan Addon Manager and gitops source controller to a Kubernetes cluster
Options:
'--helm' perform helm upgrade or install, if you don't specify either script will not deploy helm chart.
'--kraan-image-pull-secret' set to 'auto' to generate image pull secrets from ~/.docker/config.json
or supply name of file containing image pull secret defintion to apply.
The secret should be called 'kraan-regcred'.
'--kraan-image-reg' provide image registry to use for Kraan, defaults to empty for docker hub
'--kraan-image-repo' provide image repository prefix to use for Kraan, defaults to 'kraan' for docker hub org.
'--kraan-image-name' the name of the kraan image to use, defaults to kraan-controller.
'--kraan-tag' the tag of the kraan image to use.
'--kraan-loglevel' loglevel to use for kraan controller, 0 for info, 1 for debug, 2 for trace.
'--kraan-dev' select development mode, makes pod filesystem writable for debugging purposes.
'--gitops-image-reg' provide image registry to use for gitops toolkit components, defaults to 'ghcr.io'.
'--gitops-image-pull-secret' set to 'auto' to generate image pull secrets from ~/.docker/config.json
or supply name of file containing image pull secret defintion to apply.
The secret should be called 'gotk-regcred'.
'--gitops-proxy' set to 'auto' to generate proxy setting for gotk components using value of HTTPS_PROXY
environment variable or supply the proxy url to use.
'--values-files' provide a comma separated list of yaml files containing values you want to set.
see samples directory for examples.
'--deploy-kind' create a new kind cluster and deploy to it. Otherwise the script will deploy to an existing
cluster. The KUBECONFIG environmental variable or ~/.kube/config should be set to a cluster
admin user for the cluster you want to use. This cluster must be running API version 16 or
greater.
'--prometheus' install promethus stack in specified namespace
'--testdata' deploy testdata comprising addons layers and source controller custom resources to the target cluster.
'--git-url' set the URL for the git repository from which Kraan should pull AddonsLayer configs.
'--git-user' set (or override) the GIT_USER environment variables.
'--git-token' set (or override) the GIT_CREDENTIALS environment variables.
'--no-git-auth' to indicate that no authorization is required to access git repository'
'--toolkit' to generate GitOps toolkit components.
'--debug' for verbose output.
'--dry-run' to generate yaml but not deploy to cluster. This option will retain temporary work directory.
To deploy to a cluster build the docker image and then deploy to the cluster. The following will build the docker image and push it to the Github packages then deploy to your Kubernetes cluster.
export VERSION=v0.1.xx
make clean-build
make build
docker login docker.pkg.github.com -u <github user> -p <github token>
make docker-push
scripts/deploy.sh --kraan-tag $VERSION --kraan-image-reg docker.pkg.github.com/fidelity --kraan-image-pull-secret auto
To deploy the image to your account in docker.io:
make clean-build
export REPO=<docker user>
make build
docker login -u <docker user> -p <docker password>
make docker-push
scripts/deploy.sh --kraan-tag $VERSION --kraan-image-repo $REPO
Set REPO to kraan to push to the kraan organisation in docker.io.
To test the kraan-controller you can run it on your local machine against a kubernetes cluster:
scripts/run-controller.sh --help
USAGE: run-controller.sh [--log-level N] [--debug]
Run the Kraan Addon Manager on local machine
options:
'--log-level' N, where N is 1 for debug message and 2 or higher for trace level debugging
'--debug' for verbose output
This script will create a temporary directory call /tmp/kraan-local-exec which the kraan-controller
will use as its root directory when storing files it retrieves from this git repository
The kraan-controller will reprocess all AddonsLayers perioidically. This period defaults to 1 minute but can be set using a command line argument.
kraan-controller -sync-period=2m
The reprocessing period can also be set to a period in seconds using the ‘s’ suffix, i.e. 20s.
The SC_TIMEOUT environmental variable can be used to set the timeout period for retrieving data from the source controller, default is 15 seconds.
export SC_TIMEOUT=30s
The SC_HOST environmental variable can be used to set the host component of the source controller’s artifact url. This is useful when running the kraan-controller out of cluster to enable it to access the source controller via a local address using kubectl port-forward, i.e.
kubectl -n gotk-system port-forward svc/source-controller 8090:80 &
export SC_HOST=localhost:8090
If you elected to use the --testdata option when setting up the cluster test data wil be added. Alternatively, you can do this by applying .testdata/addons/addons-source.yaml and .testdata/addons/addons.yaml to deploy the source controller custom resource and AddonsLayers custom resources respectively. This will cause the kraan-controller to operate on the testdata in the ./testdata directory of this repository using the master branch.
To run integration tests:
make integration
If running with proxy access to github
export GITOPS_USE_PROXY=auto
If image pull secret is required to access public repositories, provide a image pull secret file
export IMAGE_PULL_SECRET_SOURCE=${HOME}/gotk-regcred.yaml
export IMAGE_PULL_SECRET_NAME=gotk-regcred
The Kraan Controller emits json format log records. Most log record contains a number of common fields that can be used to select log messages to display when examining log data.
| field name | Description |
|---|---|
| function | The function name, in format package.interface/object.method/function |
| source | The source file, just file name, not full path name |
| line | The line number |
| kind | The kind for log messages relating to owned or watched objects |
| layer | The layer name for log messages relating to addons layers |
| msg | The message text |
| logger | name of the logger, one of controller-runtime.manager, controller-runtime, metrics, initialization, kraan.controller.applier, kraan.controller.reconciler or kraan.manager.controller |
| level | Level of message. This will be info, debug or Level(-N), where ‘N’ is the trace level. Levels 2 to 4 are currently used.Level 4 is exclusively used by tracing of function entry and exit. |
| ts | timestamp of log message |
