Anybody have any hints for deploying an EKS cluster via Codefesh, the example in their repo fails as described in the CF repo issue https://github.com/codefresh-io/eks-installer/issues/5
Running freestyle step: Save Terraform statefile to Codefresh context Pulling image codefresh/cli:0.8.54 Digest: sha256:ff73c256681cbf6e6ef8304748d50e6f54903096b7dad9116554694b5fedfbb6 Status: Imag…

Let me escalate this to engineering.

I do not have another example of automated creation and addition in a pipeline looks like this needs a fix to the API call responsible for adding the EKS cluster to our Kubernetes cluster integration.

Awesome, 10pm here - that sounds like my home/bed time as im a total newbie and could not help other that test works after a change

thanks @dustinvb

Hey, general question - say I’ve built a docker image in a codefresh pipeline (tagged in the CF registry and also pushed out to ECR) and want to use that as the image in a different pipelines freestyle step - how do I auth to the private registry to pull the image? Dont mind if CF is the easiest, but can’t seem to find a way to use my ECR credentials which let me push images to also pull images?

#office-hours starting now! ask questions, get answers. free for everyone. https://zoom.us/j/508587304

So - I’ve got a new pipeline stuck in “pending” state - is there any way to get info on what that means / why that is? zero other builds are running
2019-09-05

anyone running codefresh pipeline invoked by another pipeline successfully with variables being passed in? (the official step is called codefresh-run) the pipeline being invoked doesn’t seem to be getting the variables for me

i think the cloudposse example app might have that… i have a “release” pipeline that triggers off a github release, and it calls deploy pipelines conditionally based on the release tag format

Example application for CI/CD demonstrations of Codefresh - cloudposse/example-app

We have a disabled trigger on the target pipeline, but I can’t quite remember what that solved at the moment

yeah im using their official codefresh-run step instead of invoking the cli, i might just end up going back to the cli command

i might just end up going back to the cli command
FWIW this is what we did for similar reasons.

I have a step using the codefresh cli and I have an identical step using their official one and using the official one doesn’t work :/

I am sorry this example is not working can you please send me the URL to verify and fix?
Here is a working example of a matrix pipeline using the codefresh-run to call the dvt pipeline.

Spinnaker vs Codefresh? Thoughts

I’d love to have an opinion on this. I want to like Spinnaker but never had a chance to demo it due to a high cost to start. Lots of operations and dev time involved in running your own CICD system. CodeFresh on the other hand is flipping expensive in and of itself, but probably really cost effective until maybe 10 or so concurrency.

Thanks for the input.
New firm very keen to use Spinnaker (invest the time) instead of investing the constant money into Codefresh each month (we’d want enterprise onpremise so we don’t have to expose internal infrastructure to WWW… @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) any opinions on that exposure & a solution?)

look into concourse ci, argo, and spinnaker.

Codefresh guy sharing his thoughts…
I often beat Spinnaker in side-by-sides just b/c of the high cost of implementation (often it is not even running by the end of the Codefresh evaluation)
There are other costs often not taken into account for running any services on-premise.
- Installation
- Maintenance
- Availability
These all translate to someone’s time which translates to money. This includes running Codefresh on-premise.
With our Hybrid offering we assume these costs in our product pricing and assume the responsibilities above which would normally be left to engineering.
We offer a unique Hybrid solution where we deploy a runner agent as a pod to a behind-the-firewall Kubernetes cluster requiring only egress out to Codefresh API to operate. The operations will take place on customer’s the Kubernetes cluster the pod itself will upgrade itself and scale out jobs to the capacity of the cluster.
https://codefresh.io/docs/docs/enterprise/behind-the-firewall/
If you’re looking at running Codefresh on premise there is a Helm chart available to install and upgrade but there is a cost in engineering effort behind this as well as any other on-premise service.
Also, I noticed you no longer are representing your moose hat here in Slack…

Morning guys

Struggling here, a pipe was working now failing – big change could be is my EKS was bumped from 1.13 to 1.14
Executing command: /cf-deploy-kubernetes /codefresh/volume/cf-generated/deployment.yml
Server minor version: 14
Warning: No variable was found in /codefresh/volume/cf-generated/deployment.yml, syntax is {{VAR}}
---> Kubernetes objects to deploy in /codefresh/volume/cf-generated/deployment.yml :
Nothing obvious to me - I’ve put YAML in the pipe from prior working runs

Can you share the pipeline yaml?

So, I’m having an issue. I’m trying to conditionally do a pipeline step based off both a condition and an approval step match, but I can’t find the right YAML voodoo to make it work, and there are ZERO examples that I can find in the docs as well.
example yaml step:
deploy_helmfile_sqitch:
title: Deploy with helmfile
stage: Deploy
image: "${{TOOL_DOCKER_REPO_PREFIX}}/${{AWS_ENV_NAME}}:latest"
working_directory: /conf/
environment:
- 'KUBECONFIG=${{CF_KUBECONFIG_PATH}}'
- 'REPO_ROOT=${{CF_VOLUME_PATH}}/${{CF_REPO_NAME}}'
shell: bash
commands:
# Announce the release version
- echo "* Preparing to deploy ${RELEASE_NAME} with image ${IMAGE_NAME}:${IMAGE_TAG}"
- echo "* with flavor \"$FLAVOR\" into namespace ${RELEASE_NAMESPACE}"
- kubectl config use-context "${KUBE_CONTEXT}"
- cd $(conf-directory helmfiles) && echo Working directory is now $PWD
- helmfile --namespace="${RELEASE_NAMESPACE}" --environment="${FLAVOR}"
-f "${REPO_ROOT}/deploy/releases/sqitch.yaml" sync
when:
steps:
- name: ask_for_permission
on:
- approved
conditions:
any:
comment_is_not_airflow: '"${{COMMENT}}" != "airflow"'

This returns Line: 113 | deploy_helmfile_sqitch: "conditions" is not allowed. Current value: [object Object]

@Alex Siegman have you tried to play with field when
for approval step ?

How to pause pipelines for manual approval

How to pause pipelines for manual approval

yeah, i can get the when
step to work with either a steps
section or a conditions
section, but not both

unless I need to do something like:
when:
all:
steps:
#steps go here
conditions:
# conditions go here
I didn’t think to try that

@dustinvb

@Kristofer Svardstal can you take a look? Still no power at my home.

Wow! That’s horrible

Hey hey!

I believe this should be possible, so just bear with me while I get an example together.

@Alex Siegman Hey, so, under when
, conditions
should be condition
.

Sometimes it’s the small things in life. Will try that, thank you

@Igor Rodionov

Any tips

Afternoon. Im rebuilding my k8s and codefresh - my first, built two weeks back, got tangled.
When i try to delete or edit a service in kube-system i hit replicasets.extensions is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:codefresh-user" cannot list resource "replicasets" in API group "extensions" in the namespace "kube-system".

This has been applied without error - which i thought would give control to the SA codefresh user over kube-system

Can you try editing the apiGroups to: - apiGroups: ["extensions", ""]

Ignore above - the problem here was the nodes did not fully come up on the az, fixed my terraform and now working

Im hitting an RBAC problem,
Message services "dev-mm-user-fe-default-srv" is forbidden: User
"system:serviceaccount:kube-system:codefresh-user" cannot get resource "services" in API group ""
in the namespace "eu-dev-public-ns"
Ive applying the following, that i hoped would allow DF to deploy to this ns/svc - but didnt
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: codefresh-user
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: codefresh-role
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: codefresh-user
namespace: eu-dev-public-ns

any hints would be greatly received

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

We use Helmfile and deploy the Codefresh account like this

Not sure if it is helpful…

Hi @Erik Osterman (Cloud Posse) thanks for the link - it might be useful. I’m very much learning as i go, do i need to add this as a helm repo ?

will read on helmfile.d

Actually Helmfile is a way to manage helm releases

Helmfile will add the repos for you
