Warning Drone cloud stopped working for months and as the developers of Drone seemed to stop caring I'm no longer able to fully test this nor will I longer have any use of it, as a result I'm stopping all development of this plugin.

drone-kubernetes-apply

CI/CD build status:

Code coverage:

Drone plugin for deploying to kubernetes that allows injecting variables into the kubernetes YAML files & supports everything kubectl supports inside said YAML by running kubectl apply for you.

Usage

This plugin can be used to deploy applications to a Kubernetes cluster, it will create\update the given kubernetes deployments/cron jobs/pods/etc as needed.

The below pipeline configuration demonstrates simple usage:

In addition to the .drone.yml file you will need to create a injected_deployment.yaml file that contains the kubernetes configuration you want to deploy.

kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: default

steps:
- name: kubernetes_deploy
  image: naorlivne/drone-kubernetes-apply
  settings:
    kubernetes_token: my...vary...long...kube...token
    kubernetes_api_host: https://mykubecluster.example.com
    kubernetes_yaml_file: injected_deployment.yaml

Value substitution

Example configuration with values substitution:

kind: pipeline
type: docker
name: default

steps:
- name: kubernetes_deploy
  image: naorlivne/drone-kubernetes-apply
  settings:
    kubernetes_token: my...vary...long...kube...token
    kubernetes_api_host: https://mykubecluster.example.com
    kubernetes_yaml_file: injected_deployment.yaml
    my_image_tag: my_dynamic_image

In the injected_deployment.yaml file (please note the $ before the PLUGIN_MY_IMAGE_TAG key):

{
  ...
  "image": "myrepo/myimage:$PLUGIN_MY_IMAGE_TAG",
  ...
}

will result in:

{
  ...
  "image": "myrepo/myimage:my_dynamic_image",
  ...
}

Parameter Reference

kubernetes_api_host

The kubernetes API server URL (no trailing slash should be used), alternately mount a kubeconfig into the container /root/.kube/config

kubernetes_token

The token used to auth against the kubernetes API, alternately mount a kubeconfig into the container /root/.kube/config

kubernetes_yaml_file

The kubernetes deployment configuration file location relative to the root folder of the repo, defaults to injected_deployment.yaml
