flotta-operator

Installation

To install the operator CRDs in the cluster pointed to by kubectl configuration execute (it may take some time):

make install

When the CRDs are present in the cluster, the operator can either be run outside or inside the cluster.

Prerequisites/Dependencies

Go

The operator requires Go 1.17, Go 1.18 is not supported yet.

podman

This project relies strongly on Podman. It is used in the edge devices and also in the operator. Supported Podman version is 3.4.4

cert-manager

We use admission webhooks for managing the CRDs. Therefore, there's a need for TLS certificates and keys management. When deploying in a cluster, webhooks are enabled and require cert-manager. Refer to its installation instructions for installing it.

Disabling webhooks is done by setting environment variable ENABLE_WEBHOOKS=false for the manager's container.

Getting started

Outside the cluster

Run make run to start the operator.

Inside the cluster

Deployment

• Build and push operator images:

  IMG=<image repository and tag> make docker-build docker-push

  for example: IMG=quay.io/jdzon/flotta-operator:latest make docker-build docker-push

On OpenShift cluster

• Deploy the operator: IMG=<image registry and tag> TARGET=ocp make deploy.
• Get HTTP server address by running: HTTP_SERVER=$(oc get routes flotta-operator-controller-manager -n flotta --no-headers -o=custom-columns=HOST:.spec.host).
• Start yggdrasil with from the yggdrasil repository directory:

   sudo ./yggd \
   --log-level info \
   --protocol http \
   --path-prefix api/flotta-management/v1 \
   --client-id $(cat /etc/machine-id) \
   --cert-file /etc/pki/consumer/cert.pem \
   --key-file /etc/pki/consumer/key.pem \
   --server $HTTP_SERVER
  

On minikube

• Deploy the operator: IMG=<image registry and tag> HOST=<host name> TARGET=k8s make deploy.
• Add to /etc/hosts: <minikube ip> <host name>.
• Start yggdrasil with from the yggdrasil repository directory:

   sudo ./yggd \
   --log-level info \
   --protocol http \
   --path-prefix api/flotta-management/v1 \
   --client-id $(cat /etc/machine-id) \
   --cert-file /etc/pki/consumer/cert.pem \
   --key-file /etc/pki/consumer/key.pem \
   --server $HOST
