uds-capability-gitlab-runner

Platform One Gitlab Runner deployed via flux

Prerequisites

General

  • Gitlab is deployed and running in the cluster
  • Create gitlab-runner-sandbox namespace
  • Label gitlab-runner-sandbox namespace with istio-injection: enabled & zarf.dev/agent: ignore
  • Create an rbac file for the gitlab-runner service account
  • Replace zarf-created ImagePullSecret - See below

ImagePullSecret

By default Zarf will create an ImagePullSecret in any new namespace in the cluster called private-registry. Since we have specified that the gitlab-runner-sandbox namespace will not be using the zarf registry that secret must be deleted. However, the CI job pods will still require one that has the required credentials for where you expect your users to want to pull CI images from.

  • Delete the secret called private-registry in the gitlab-runner-sandbox namespace
  • Create an ImagePullSecret type secret called private-registry in the gitlab-runner-sandbox with the credentials required
    • Example using kubectl:
kubectl create secret generic private-registry --from-file=$(printf ~/.docker/config.json) --type=kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson -n gitlab-runner-sandbox

RBAC file

  • The rbac.yaml should create a ClusterRole with the name gitlab-runner-sandbox and the following values:
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: gitlab-runner-sandbox
rules:
  - apiGroups: [""]
    resources: ["configmaps", "pods", "pods/attach", "secrets", "services"]
    verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "patch", "update", "delete"]
  - apiGroups: [""]
    resources: ["pods/exec"]
    verbs: ["create", "patch", "delete"]
  • The ClusterRole should then be bound using a RoleBinding in the gitlab-runner-sandbox namespace to the service account that gitlab-runner uses example:
kind: RoleBinding
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
  name: gitlab-runner-sandbox
  namespace: gitlab-runner-sandbox
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
  name: default
  namespace: gitlab-runner
roleRef:
  apiGroup: ""
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: gitlab-runner-sandbox

Deploy

Use zarf to login to the needed registries i.e. registry1.dso.mil and ghcr.io

# Download Zarf
make build/zarf

# Login to the registry
set +o history

# registry1.dso.mil (To access registry1 images needed during build time)
export REGISTRY1_USERNAME="YOUR-USERNAME-HERE"
export REGISTRY1_TOKEN="YOUR-TOKEN-HERE"
echo $REGISTRY1_TOKEN | build/zarf tools registry login registry1.dso.mil --username $REGISTRY1_USERNAME --password-stdin

set -o history

Build and Deploy Everything via Makefile and local package

# This will run make build/all, make cluster/reset, and make deploy/all. Follow the breadcrumbs in the Makefile to see what and how its doing it.
make all
