gcb-task

Google Cloud Build for Tekton

This repo provides an experimental Tekton Custom Task that executes a Google Cloud Build.

The intention is to demonstrate the kinds of things a Custom Task can do, and to demonstrate how to write a Custom Task.

Install

Install and configure ko.

ko apply -f config/

This will build and install the controller on your cluster, in the namespace cloudbuild-task.

Service Account Setup

Builds need to be created by a Service Account with appropriate permissions.

Create a GCP Service Account with the Cloud Build Editor role, create and download a key file for that SA, and create a K8s Secret with that Service Account Key:

kubectl create secret generic sa-key --from-file=key.json=PATH-TO-KEY-FILE.json -n cloudbuild-task

Run a Build

Create a Run that refers to a Build:

$ kubectl create -f gcb-run.yaml 
run.tekton.dev/gcb-run-j2w5p created
$ kubectl get runs -w
NAME            SUCCEEDED   REASON         STARTTIME   COMPLETIONTIME
gcb-run-j2w5p   Unknown     BuildWorking   15s         
gcb-run-j2w5p   True        BuildSucceeded   31s         1s

Outstanding Work

Thanks!😊 There's plenty more to do though.

Namely:

• Don't hard-code a trivial GCB build, either let users define their build using a CRD, and/or read a build config from a repo or parameter value.
• Accept a source archive in GCS as an input parameter, to integrate with other Tasks in a Pipeline.
• Emit the build ID as an output result.
