Running Greenhouse Operator Locally

An extensive guide is available in the localenv documentation.

This is a quick note on running the operator with Dex storage backend configuration

Using kubernetes as the Dex storage backend

When running the operator locally the kubernetes mode is automatically detected:

1. KUBECONFIG environment variable - example - export KUBECONFIG=/path/to/config (Priority 1)
2. kube config from the recommended dir and file - example - $HOME/.kube/config (Priority 2)
3. Running inside a kubernetes cluster, in-cluster mode is used. (Priority 3)

Using postgres as the Dex storage backend

If you are using postgres as the dex storage backend, you need to set the following environment variables:

• PG_DATABASE=<postgres-database> ex: postgres (defaults to postgres if not set)
• PG_PORT=<postgres-port> ex: 5432 (defaults to 5432 if not set)
• PG_USER=<postgres-user> ex: postgres (defaults to postgres if not set)
• PG_HOST=<postgres-host> ex: localhost (required)
• PG_PASSWORD=<postgres-password> ex: password (required)

Running Catalog Controller Locally

To run the Catalog Controller locally, you need to port-forward flux source-watcher SVC to your localhost.

Example command:

kubectl -n flux-system port-forward svc/source-watcher 5050:80

Then set the following environment variable when running the operator (IDE Debugger or Shell):

ARTIFACT_DOMAIN=localhost:5050
