The generic-addon

Introduction

The generic-addon is simply used to generate different manifest for running an addon with the generic controller. You pass in the kind, group, and channel for the addon and it gives you all the necessary manifest required.

List of Manifest

The list of manifests it generates are:

1. A CustomResourceDefinition for the addon
2. A CustomResource of the addon
3. RBAC(Clusterrole and clusterrolebinding) for creating, deleting, updating the custom resource
4. A Generic resource for the addon
5. The rbac for the addon manifest(The generic controller requires this to apply the manifest)

Usage

1. Get the code

go get https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-addons

1. Build

cd $GOPATH/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-addons/tools/generic-addon
go install

1. Run the go program

generic-addon <KIND> <GROUP> <CHANNEL>

Example:

generic-addon Dashboard addons.x-k8s.io ../channels

This command generates two files - dashboard_crd_rbac.yaml and dashboard_sample.yaml

You can apply this to your cluster. Remember to apply the crd file as that creates the CRD. This also assumes you have already applied the CRD for the Generic resource.

Have fun! 🎉
