Set of actions for implementing CI/CD with werf and GitHub Actions

___

This action set allows you to organize CI/CD with GitHub Actions and werf. The set consists of several independent and complex actions:

• werf/actions/converge
• werf/actions/dismiss
• werf/actions/build
• werf/actions/run
• werf/actions/cleanup

Each action combines all the necessary steps in itself, and logic may be divided into environment setup and launching the corresponding command.

Ready-to-use GitHub Actions Workflows for different CI/CD workflows are available here.

Also, there is another action — werf/actions/install. With this action, the user can install werf and use binary within job steps for own purposes.

Versioning

When using actions, select the version corresponding to the required MAJOR.MINOR version of werf:

# Run converge using actual werf version within 1.1 alpha channel.
- uses: werf/actions/[email protected]

# Run converge using actual werf version within 1.2 alpha channel.
- uses: werf/actions/[email protected]

Environment setup in details

werf binary installation

By default, all actions install actual werf version within 1.2 alpha channel (more details about channels, werf release cycle and compatibility promise here). Using the channel input the user can switch the release channel.

This is recommended approach to be up-to-date and to use actual werf version without changing configurations.

- uses: werf/actions/[email protected]
  with:
    channel: alpha

Withal, it is not necessary to work within release channels, and the user might specify certain werf version with version input.

- uses: werf/actions/[email protected]
  with:
    version: v1.2.9

werf ci-env

This is the step where an action:

• sets the defaults for werf command options based on GitHub Workflow environment variables (e.g. container repository address to the WERF_REPO environment variable using the following pattern: ghcr.io/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY/<project-from-werf.yaml>).
• performs docker login to ghcr.io using the github-token input (only if ghcr.io used as WERF_REPO).

The github-token input is optional, and the input is there in case you need to use a non-default token. By default, an action will use the token provided to your workflow.

kubeconfig setup (optional)

The kubeconfig may be used for deployment, cleanup, distributed locks and caches. Thus, the configuration should be added before step with the action or passed as base64 encoded data with kube-config-base64-data input:

• Prepare kubeconfig (e.g. cat ~/.kube/config | base64) and save in GitHub Secrets (e.g. with name KUBE_CONFIG_BASE64_DATA).

• Pass secret with kube-config-base64-data input:

  - uses: werf/actions/[email protected]
    with:
      kube-config-base64-data: ${{ secrets.KUBE_CONFIG_BASE64_DATA }}

Working with werf options

All werf options can be defined with environment variables:

- uses: werf/actions/[email protected]
  env:
    WERF_LOG_VERBOSE: "on" # The same as using the option --log-verbose=on.

Working with container registry

Default container repository

An action generates the default container repository address and performs docker login to the registry within werf ci-env step.

For cleanup action, the user needs to create personal access token with read:packages and delete:packages scope and uses it as the WERF_REPO_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable or the github-token input. It is recommended to store the token as a secret.

- uses: werf/actions/[email protected]
  with:
    kube-config-base64-data: ${{ secrets.KUBE_CONFIG_BASE64_DATA }}
  env:
    WERF_REPO_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.WERF_CLEANUP_PAM }}

Custom container repository

An arbitrary container repository can be specified with the WERF_REPO and WERF_REPO_CONTAINER_REGISTRY environment variables. For instance, steps for GCR:

- name: Login to GCR
  uses: docker/login-action@v1
  with:
    registry: gcr.io
    username: _json_key
    password: ${{ secrets.GCR_JSON_KEY }}
    
- uses: werf/actions/[email protected]
  env:
    WERF_REPO: "gcr.io/company/app"
    WERF_REPO_CONTAINER_REGISTRY: "gcr"

To learn more about how to work with the different container registries, see the appropriate article in the werf documentation.
