oesgul / gitops-deploy

What is this?

This is a simple repo that is parte of a guided exercise for the Red Hat course DO380 Red Hat OpenShift Administration III: Scaling Kubernetes Deployments in the Enterprise

If nothing else, this can be used as an example of things used in a GitOps Jenkins deployment

What you need to do

In OpenShift:

oc new-project gitops-deploy

Get a list of Jenkins templates:

oc get template -n openshift | grep jenkins

Pick one and create a new app for it:

oc new-app --template jenkins-persistent

As an admin user in OpenShift, grant the Jenkins service account permissions to create projects:

oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user self-provisioner -z jenkins -n gitops-deploy

(This creates a cluster role binding resource, which is NOT namespaced, and references a service account which IS namespaced. Thus the need for -n

This should create a Jenkins pod and you will need to log into the Jenkins pod and set up your pipeline.

When logged into Jenkins, Click New Item on the Dashboard page, give it a name and select Multibranch Pipeline Under the Branch Sources heading, select Add Source -> Git and put in the repo address you are using in the Project Repository field. Save and move on.

This should go through the pipeline and then hang on test because the pipeline is waiting for verification.
