operator-controller

The operator-controller is the central component of Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) v1. It extends Kubernetes with an API through which users can install Operators.

Description

OLM v1 is the follow-up to OLM v0, located here. It consists of four different components, including this one, which are as follows:

• operator-controller
• deppy
• rukpak
• catalogd

Getting Started

You’ll need a Kubernetes cluster to run against. You can use KIND to get a local cluster for testing, or run against a remote cluster. Note: Your controller will automatically use the current context in your kubeconfig file (i.e. whatever cluster kubectl cluster-info shows).

Running on the cluster

1. Install Instances of Custom Resources:

kubectl apply -f config/samples/

2. Build and push your image to the location specified by IMG:

make docker-build docker-push IMG=<some-registry>/operator-controller:tag

3. Deploy the controller to the cluster with the image specified by IMG:

make deploy IMG=<some-registry>/operator-controller:tag

Uninstall CRDs

To delete the CRDs from the cluster:

make uninstall

Undeploy controller

UnDeploy the controller to the cluster:

make undeploy

Contributing

Refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for more information.

How it works

This project aims to follow the Kubernetes Operator pattern

It uses Controllers which provides a reconcile function responsible for synchronizing resources untile the desired state is reached on the cluster

Test It Out

Install the CRDs and the operator-controller into a new KIND cluster:

make run

This will build a local container image of the operator-controller, create a new KIND cluster and then deploy onto that cluster. This will also deploy the catalogd, rukpak and cert-manager dependencies.

Modifying the API definitions

If you are editing the API definitions, generate the manifests such as CRs or CRDs using:

make manifests

NOTE: Run make help for more information on all potential make targets
