Repositories

By Repositories (aka Repos), we mean any "Git" repository, which are specific project locations in either GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, etc. As you've read, KAOPS is a platform based on GitOps, and gets the majority of its configuration from your git repositories. For example, KAOPS deploys the following things and many more from your git repos:

  • Applications
  • CRDs
  • Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Crossplane, Ansible, Pulumi, etc)
  • Tools (e.g. Istio, Kubevirt, etc)
  • Secrets/Sealed Secrets

To do this, you first create a "Repo" in KAOPS, which tells KAOPS where to look in your git.

Creating a Repo

Click on the Repo page in the left Nav bar KAOPS Reops

In your personal account, we have an example repo for you, point to KAOPS example apps at GitHub KAOPS Example Apps

To create another Repo, do one of the following:

  • click on the "New -> Repository" at the top of the page
  • click on the "*" next to the Repositories page in the left Nav bar
  • click on the "Click to Create Repo" at the top of the Network page

This will bring up the Repo configuration dialog...

Notice the URL of the repo, this should match the URL that Git tells you how to access the repo.

Public

For public repos, no credentials are required.

Private

For Private repos, you must give KAOPS credentials to access these repos. There are several methods to do this, including password, personal access tokens, and SSH keys.

NOTE: Each Repo card has a 'status' which is determined by the Hub cluster KAOPS agent. If the KAOPS agent is able to access the repo, the status will be "UP".
