Description
One of the Webapp team's epics for Q2 is to use the Gitpod installer to deploy to Gitpod SaaS. In order to do that we will need to add additional configuration to the installer to make the output suitable for a SaaS deployment as opposed to a self-hosted deployment.
This PR adds an
experimental.common.staticMessagebusPassword
field to set a message bus password, rather than having the installer render a fresh password on every invocation. cf this comment from @mrsimonemms.Related Issue(s)
Part of #9097
How to test
Create an installer config file containing this
experimental
section:Get a
versions.yaml
for use with the installer:Then invoke the installer as:
The message bus password will be the value set in the config. If the
experimental
config section is omitted, or thestaticMessagebusPassword
is set to an empty string, a password will be generated.Release Notes
Documentation
None.
