Example of a CUPS print server from within OpenShift or Kubernetes.

MAINTENANCE

This repository is no longer maintained and is now archived. For your cups-in-a-container needs, I highly recommend if you have an active Red Hat subscription the registry.redhat.io/rhel9-cups container image which this project helped spur on.

About

This is a series of sample YAML files that stand up a CUPS print server running from within OpenShift or Kubernetes. It uses the quay.io/robbmanes/cups:latest image for the CUPS server, which is built from registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora-minimal. The Dockerfile for this image can be found within this repository.

Deployment

To deploy this example directly to your OpenShift or Kubernetes cluster do:

$ kubectl create -f namespace.yaml -f cups-conf.yaml -f cups-files.yaml -f pod.yaml -f service.yaml

Teardown

To remove this example from your cluster, do:

$ kubectl delete pods,jobs,svc,cm,namespace -l=app=cups

Testing

A simple test job has been provided to check your service connectivity to the CUPS server.

To deploy the job, do:

$ kubectl create -f cups-test.yaml

Inspect it like so:

$ kubectl get jobs
NAME        COMPLETIONS   DURATION   AGE
cups-test   0/1           6s         6s

$ kubectl get pods
NAME              READY     STATUS      RESTARTS   AGE
cups              1/1       Running     0          29s
cups-test-2m8sw   0/1       Completed   0          19s

Inspect the pod it creates; success has a code of "200":

$ kubectl logs cups-test-2m8sw
200

Delete the job like so:

$ kubectl delete job cups-test
