Warning: development has moved to https://github.com/openshift/ci-tools.git
ci-operator automates and simplifies the process of building and testing
OpenShift component images (e.g. any openshift/origin-{component} images).
Given a Git repository reference and a component-specific configuration file, describing base images and which images should be built and tested and how, ci-operator builds the component images within an OpenShift cluster and runs the tests. All artifacts are built in a new namespace named using a hash of all inputs, so the artifacts can be reused when the inputs are identical.
ci-operator is mainly intended to be run inside a Pod in a cluster, triggered
by the Prow CI infrastructure, but it is also possible to run it as a CLI tool
on a developer laptop.
More information on the architecture can be found in the ARCHITECTURE.md.
Note: ci-operator orchestrates builds and tests, but should not be confused with Kubernetes operator which make managing software on top of Kubernetes easier.
Currently, users must download the source and build it themselves:
$ git clone https://github.com/openshift/ci-operator.git
$ cd ci-operator
$ make build
ci-operator is mainly intended to be run automatically by the CI system, but after you build it, you can also run it locally:
./ci-operator --config component.yaml --git-ref=openshift/{repo}@master
For more information about ci-operator options, use the --help parameter:
./ci-operator --help
See ONBOARD.md for more information about how to write component repository configuration file. See the configuration reference at CONFIGURATION.md for details on the configuration file keys.
A number of OpenShift components are already using ci-operator.
