Tekton CI Demo

This Demo repository will deploy and configure a Tekton CI System. The Project will automatically bootstrap a K3d cluster with Flux.

Layout of the Demo

CI of the Tekton CI

This repository uses GitHub Actions to validate the Tekton config. Every commit triggers a cluster creation and validation. The up-to-date bootstrap process is documented in the GitHub Actions workflow you can find in this repo.

Cluster Bootstrap

On a high level you need to provide a Github token with the following scopes: repo_status, public_repo. You can find the management dialog here. This token is used by the flux operator to connect to the git repository and roll-out the desired cluster state based on this repository.

1. Create K3d cluster that exposes a http ingress

k3d cluster create -p "8081:80@loadbalancer" --agents 2

This might take some time.

2. Switch kubectl to K3d context & inspect cluster-info

kubectl config use-context k3d-k3s-default
kubectl cluster-info

3. Install Flux components with flux bootstrap:

  GITHUB_TOKEN=<token> GITHUB_USER=<username> flux bootstrap github \
  --owner=<username-of-the-repo-owner> \
  --repository=tekton-demo \
  --private=false \
  --personal=true \
  --branch=main \
  --path=clusters/local

4. Check the progress of the deployment

kubectl get Kustomization -n flux-system -w

5.(optional) Connect to the Tekton Dashboard

The Dashboard is deployed and accessible via the tekton-dashboard service on port 9097.

kubectl --namespace tekton-pipelines port-forward svc/tekton-dashboard 9097:9097

Using the Tekton sample pipeline

You can inspect the deployed tasks and pipelines by issuing those commands. Before following along make sure to install the CLI tools.

tkn task list
tkn pipeline list

Create a pipeline run as follows and issue it via kubectl create -f hello-goodbye-pipeline-run.yaml. This command will return the created pipelinerun which you need for reference later. E.g. enter tkn pr logs $PIPELINE_RUN_NAME to get the log output of the pipeline.
