Wondering if anyone solved/hit these:

1) discarding concurrent builds - imagine I want to have pipeline triggered on git commit, it takes 1 hour to run, but if any other build of the pipeline is triggered we only keep the currently building one and the most recent one, all others are discarded.

2) pausing pipeline - if we have pipeline triggered on commit or on cron - is there a way to manually pause the schedule? (other than deleting the trigger? since deleting/re-creating trigger is involved). Looking for something similar to Jenkins enable/disable pipeline button

3) what do people use for sequential/unique build numbering - if we wanted to generate semantic versions for our builds?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

i’ve wanted to have “locks”

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

so we can have a pipeline block untili it obtains the lock.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

i’ve seen semver services

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

e.g. you can curl an API for a given service and specify if you want a new path, minor or major release

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

e.g. curl <https://semver.host.io?service=foobar&patch+=1>

michal.matyjek avatar

interesting… not exactly what I wanted but makes sense

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

one of our problems is with helm versioning

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

basically different projects have pinned to different versions of our release harness

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

which mean different versions of helm

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

one option is to always check the server and then use that version locally

Dustin how is that different from using the codefresh cli deploy the run time environment?

dustinvb avatar

That requires you allow ingress from Codefresh SaaS

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

So an engineer can kick off the deployment by cutting a release in github

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

that triggers a codefresh pipeline

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

which requests an approval via slack to the engineering manager

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

if he approves it, then the deployment proceeds.

Yes but permissions are not available yet around the process but the pipeline is stamped with the user who approved/denied.

not sure if you guys have investigated how Travis does their remote exec

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

but it’s via tmate

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

I’ve reproduced the functionality with this code snippet

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)
10:27:29 PM
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

this assumes tmate binary is in your path

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

if you run this snippet, you will get this output

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

then I can exec into the container

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

so how does this relate to codefresh?

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

You should tell me.

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

LOL

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

so if a container step you add sleep inf, that step won’t finish

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

if the step before that runs the script I shared, then it starts a reverse tunnel out to [tmate.io](http://tmate.io)

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

then I can effectively debug my codefresh container running on codefresh

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

ok, this is cool

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

We need to think about this as another option and see about a new Fresh Step

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

that’s cool!

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

i didn’t know about the composition terminal

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

though that won’t apply to pipelines, right?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

general pipelines

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

so travis has a button that basically says, on next run, start a tmate session

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

i think in the codefresh world, it would almost be like setting a break point

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

only that the container is left running

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

@michal.matyjek @Daren what do you think about something like this?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

not sure if you guys have investigated how Travis does their remote exec

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

provided a hack above

michal.matyjek avatar
michal.matyjek

would be awesome to have this built-in otherwise everytime we want to debug we need to modify a step (or inject it into all steps?)

michal.matyjek avatar
michal.matyjek

wtf is my profile…

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

yea, built-in best

michal.matyjek avatar
michal.matyjek

(or make running locally easy - like a button in the Codefresh UI to run the piepeline/step locally with breakpoint so that you can exec into the container)

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

I think the break point feature in the UI would be great to read it from yaml or be able to click a step in the UI to set a break point during execution.

A FreshStep though might should be a faster to market MVP.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

HOLY MOLY! I have brilliant idea

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

I’m going to add tmate/session as a target in our build-harness

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

then just add make tmate/session in any pipeline step for debugging

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

and it will output a temporary session

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

in the build logs

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

it will block indefinitely until the tmate session exits or a preconfigurable timeout

fyi this was the example i followed, and it did work before with the same build-harness version. https://github.com/cloudposse/statup/blob/add-helmfile/codefresh/pull-request.yml#L82

mgrube avatar

I am trying to deploy an application, with the image being pulled from cfr. I added a Secret to the helm chart so that the chart would deploy everything needed for the application, but it doesn’t create the secret first. What is the best practice for uploading the secret?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

good question.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

so there are a few ways to handle this.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

If you’re not going to be using a lot of namespaces, it would be most secure to deploy the pull secret manually as a “one off”

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

If you’re using kops, you can provision a cluster-wide pull secret

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

If you’re using helmfile, then you can deploy it by adding a release of this: https://github.com/cloudposse/charts/tree/master/incubator/dockercfg

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

haha

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

@dustinvb would be nice if there was a build-step or something we could use to automatically provision the pull secret for a namespace

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

You can use the CLI as a build step.

mgrube avatar

lol, this is all good stuff. So if I am going to have a namespace per dev team or developer, would it be best to have a helm chart that configures the namespace with all secrets needed?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

the downside with provisioning secrets with helm is that they are in clear text if you run helm get values

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

and are also surfaced in clear text in the helm UI in codefresh

mgrube avatar

thats good to know

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

Bah I am all off on my explanation… I mis read what you’re trying to do.

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

Use helm-secrets plugin

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

That’s what I used

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

the helm-secrets plugin doesn’t fix it

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

the values are still passed in clear-text to helm

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

Yes they are indeed but on the Kubernetes side it will create the secret for you using the Helm Chart.

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

hrmm

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar
Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse)

or do you mean helm-secrets will create the Secrets resource out-of-band with helm, so that it won’t be visible by helm?

dustinvb avatar
dustinvb

If you don’t want these secrets showing up in a pipeline it is best to circumvent the secret creation in CI/CD something else like https://github.com/Boostport/kubernetes-vault

@francisco said you can create a named context, then used a (currently) undocumented api call to obtain it. A cronjob pipeline can be used to clean them up

is the API call related to the test reports?

Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) avatar

you have a pipeline that writes an artifact to the shared volume

I wound up creating a new repo with just a codefresh.yaml and a values file

have you looked into helmfile?

I hadn’t ever heard of it. Looking into it now

cloudposse/helmfiles

Comprehensive Distribution of Helmfiles. Works with helmfile.d - cloudposse/helmfiles

So we use this both to distribute backing services as well as applications

and by “applications” i mean those delivered via a codefresh pipeline (e.g. web apps)

here’s our “example app”

the deploy/ folder contains the helm releases

We use this exclusively with helm

helmfile takes the pain out of dealing with values.yaml and helm releases.

plus makes it easier to make helm more 12-factor compliant

We’ve updated our example-app with our pipelines for unlimited staging, automatic destroy, release promotion, and multiple cluster deploys using tags

we use helmfile with helm

what’s notable about these updated pipelines is we avoid the classic “main clone” in every pipeline other than build

this makes it faster

the build artifact always contains the helmfile to deploy. this is an evolution of our statup demo (which is now out of date)

@dustinvb I want to add now all the clair scanning and other kinds of tests

https://steps.codefresh.io/ should have the most up-to-date documentation some testing steps requires the user to work with vendor to install server side.

One small step for your YAML, one giant leap for your pipeline.
