This repository holds the source code for the Red Hat Porfolio Marketing Gitea Operator. The operator can be recreated by following the steps in https://github.com/redhat-cop/openshift-lab-origin/blob/master/OpenShift4/Building_Ansible_Operator_for_Gitea.adoc.
The V2 operator can now be installed into its own namespace gitea-operator
instead of just openshift-operators
.
-
You can create the operator by simply applying the YAML files from the Github repository
oc apply -k https://github.com/rhpds/gitea-operator/OLMDeploy
-
This installs the operator cluster wide - which means you (or your users) can greate instances of
Gitea
in any project on the cluster. See below for examples of how to create Gitea instances.
-
Create a new project for your Gitea instance:
oc new-project gitea
-
All following examples can be combined. For example you can have a Gitea installation with self-managed PostgreSQL database, with e-mail integration, selecting specific storage classes for the PVCs, an Admin user created and self-provisioning turned off.
The Gitea Operator can set up a PostgreSQL database alongside the Gitea Pod. This is the default deployment.
To deploy a simple Gitea instance:
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: simple-gitea spec: giteaImageTag: 1.20.0 giteaVolumeSize: 4Gi giteaSsl: true postgresqlVolumeSize: 4Gi
Note that you can specify specific properties for postgresqlServiceName
, postgresqlDatabaseName
, postgresqlUser
and postgresqlPassword
. If you do however you must also specify the relevant properties for Gitea to connect to the database and they must match the PostgreSQL properties: giteaPostgresqlServiceName
, giteaPostgresqlDatabaseName
, giteaPostgresqlUser
and giteaPostgresqlPassword
To deploy a simple Gitea instance using OpenShift Container Storage (if the storage class ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd
is not the default storage class):
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: simple-gitea-ocs spec: giteaImageTag: latest giteaVolumeSize: 4Gi giteaVolumeStorageClass: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd giteaSsl: true postgresqlVolumeSize: 4Gi postgresqlVolumeStorageClass: ocs-storagecluster-ceph-rbd
The Operator can create an Admin User in the Gitea instance. If a Admin User ID is specified you can specify a password for the admin user as well. If no password is specified a password is generated with a certain length. The length of the generated password can be set via the password length variable.
If an Admin user has been created then you can set the variable giteaDisableRegistration: false
. This will disable user self-registration - only the admin user will be able to create other users on Gitea.
The operator will report the status of the admin user creation as well as the user password in the fields .status.adminSetupComplete: true
and .status.adminPassword
.
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: gitea-with-admin spec: giteaSsl: true giteaAdminUser: opentlc-mgr giteaAdminEmail: opentlc-mgr@redhat.com giteaAdminPassword: "" giteaAdminPasswordLength: 32
The operator can use a password from the admin user that has been pre-created in a secret. The secret must be in the same namespace as the gitea instance - and the key for the admin password must be adminPassword
.
-
Create a secret with the password:
oc create secret generic gitea-admin-password --from-literal=adminPassword=myPassw0rd
-
Tell the operator to use the password from the secret:
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: gitea-with-admin spec: giteaSsl: true giteaAdminUser: opentlc-mgr giteaAdminEmail: opentlc-mgr@redhat.com giteaAdminPasswordSecretName: gitea-admin-password
It may be useful to hide the admin password from the status
section of the Gitea custom resource. In that case set the variable giteaAdminPasswordExpose: false
. For compatibility reasons the default for that variable is true
which means that whatever password has been set for the admin user will be visible in status.adminPassword
.
The Operator can also create regular users in the Gitea instance. It is a requirement that an admin user is also being created.
The operator can create a single user - or a number of users based on a username template.
You can specify a common password for all regular users. If no password is specified a password is generated with a certain length. The length of the generated password can be set via the password length variable.
If an users have been created then you can set the variable giteaDisableRegistration: false
. This will disable user self-registration - only the admin user will be able to create additional users on Gitea.
The operator will report the status of the user creation as well as the user password in the fields .status.userSetupComplete: true
and .status.userPassword
.
Create a single user, lab-user
with a generated password of length 16:
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: gitea-with-admin spec: giteaSsl: true giteaAdminUser: opentlc-mgr giteaAdminPassword: "" giteaAdminPasswordLength: 32 giteaAdminEmail: opentlc-mgr@redhat.com giteaCreateUsers: true giteaGenerateUserFormat: lab-user giteaUserNumber: 1 giteaUserPasswordLength: 16
Create a three users, student1
, student2
and student3
with password openshift
:
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: gitea-with-users spec: giteaSsl: true giteaAdminUser: opentlc-mgr giteaAdminPassword: "" giteaAdminPasswordLength: 32 giteaAdminEmail: opentlc-mgr@redhat.com giteaCreateUsers: true giteaGenerateUserFormat: "student%d" giteaUserNumber: 3 giteaUserPassword: openshift
The operator can use a password for the created users that has been pre-created in a secret. The secret must be in the same namespace as the gitea instance - and the key for the user password must be userPassword
.
-
Create a secret with the password:
oc create secret generic gitea-user-password --from-literal=userPassword=myPassw0rd
-
Tell the operator to use the password from the secret (this example also generates a new 16 character password for the admin user):
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: gitea-with-users spec: giteaSsl: true giteaAdminUser: opentlc-mgr giteaAdminEmail: opentlc-mgr@redhat.com giteaAdminPassword: "" giteaAdminPasswordLength: 16 giteaCreateUsers: true giteaGenerateUserFormat: "student%d" giteaUserNumber: 3 giteaUserPasswordSecretName: gitea-user-password
It may be useful to hide the user password from the status
section of the Gitea custom resource. In that case set the variable giteaUserPasswordExpose: false
. For compatibility reasons the default for that variable is true
which means that whatever password has been set for the users will be visible in status.userPassword
.
If users are being created it is also possible to seed all users with repositories from another github (compatible) source. Every user will get the same repositories in their account. You can specify the source URL of the repository, the name of the migrated repository in Gitea and if the migrated repository should be a private repository or not.
If the migration was successful the operator sets the field .status.repoMigrationComplete: true
.
Create 2 users lab-user-1
and lab-user-2
and migrate two repositories from GitHub to Gitea for each user:
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: gitea-with-repositories spec: giteaSsl: true giteaAdminUser: opentlc-mgr giteaAdminPassword: "" giteaAdminPasswordLength: 32 giteaAdminEmail: opentlc-mgr@redhat.com giteaCreateUsers: true giteaGenerateUserFormat: "lab-user-%d" giteaUserNumber: 2 giteaUserPassword: openshift giteaMigrateRepositories: true giteaRepositoriesList: - repo: https://github.com/repository1.git name: repository1 private: false - repo: https://github.com/repository2.git name: another-repository private: true
See https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/email-setup for more information on how to set up e-mail services with Gitea.
-
Set the variable
giteaMailerEnabled: true
. If this is set to true then the othergiteaMailer*
variables need to be set as well. If the e-mail account you are using uses two-factor authentication (for example GMail) you may need to create an app-specific password to be used.Once e-mail is enabled you can use the variables
giteaRegisterEmailConfirm
andgiteaEnableNotifyMail
to turn on e-mail verification and notification.Example for GMail--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: gitea-with-email spec: giteaMailerEnabled: true giteaMailerFrom: gmail-user@gmail.com giteaMailerProtocol: smtps giteaMailerHost: smtp.gmail.com giteaMailerPort: 465 giteaMailerUser: gmail-user@gmail.com giteaMailerPassword: gmail-user-app-specific-password giteaMailerHeloHostname: example.com giteaRegisterEmailConfirm: true giteaEnableNotifyMail: true
If you want to manage your PostgreSQL database separately from the Gitea pod then you can deploy it first. You can either use the OpenShift template or you can use a PostgreSQL operator to manage your database.
-
Create a PostgreSQL database from the OpenShift template:
oc new-app postgresql-persistent \ --param DATABASE_SERVICE_NAME=postgresql-gitea \ --param POSTGRESQL_USER=gitea_user \ --param POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=gitea_pass \ --param POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=gitea \ --param VOLUME_CAPACITY=10Gi
NoteYou can not specify a storage class when using the OpenShift template. If you need a specific storage class make that storage class the default storage class before creating the database. You can switch back to another default storage class once the persistent volume has been created. -
Create a Gitea instance. When using a self-managed database you must set
postgresqlSetup: false
and specify connection information to the database.
--- apiVersion: pfe.rhpds.com/v1 kind: Gitea metadata: name: gitea-unmanaged-db spec: postgresqlSetup: false giteaPostgresqlServiceName: postgresql-gitea giteaPostgresqlDatabaseName: gitea giteaPostgresqlUser: gitea_user giteaPostgresqlPassword: gitea_pass giteaVolumeSize: 10Gi
A rather advanced use case is to create the app.ini
configuration for Gitea yourself rather than having the operator create it.
Usually the operator generates the app.ini
configuration file based on the content of the variables in the Gitea custom resource. However not every single configuration option for Gitea is exposed as Gitea variables. Maybe because they are rather uncommon or because they only got added to a Gitea version that got released after the operator was built.
One use case could be enabling ssh
cloning capability for the Gitea repository.
Another use case could be setting up OAuth2 authorization for the repository.
The suggested approach is this:
-
Set up a Gitea instance with all variables that are available.
-
Wait until the Gitea instance is running
-
Extract (save) the ConfigMap that has been created (usually in
<gitea-name>-config
)oc get configmap gitea-config -n gitea -o yaml >$HOME/configmap.yaml
-
Edit the file
app.ini
in the configmap as desired (the file name always must beapp.ini
). -
Delete the Gitea config.
Now you can re-create the configuration from scratch. You can have the Gitea operator create the PostgreSQL database - but of course you must specify a user name and password for the PostgreSQL database that matches what you will provide in your app.ini
config map.
-
Create the project
-
Determine what the
hostname
of your Gitea installation will be. This hostname must match in the configmap’sapp.ini
file and in the parametergiteaHostname
(which must be provided in case an external configmap is provided) -
Create the ConfigMap (from file or otherwise) making sure the URLs match the desired hostname and the database connectivity matches your PostgreSQL database (either pre-setup of setup by the operator)
Example[...] [database] DB_TYPE = postgres HOST = postgresql-gitea:5432 NAME = giteadb USER = gitea_user PASSWD = gitea_pass SSL_MODE = disable [...] [server] ROOT_URL = https://gitea-gitea.apps.cluster-hyper.hyper.dev.redhatworkshops.io SSH_DOMAIN = gitea-gitea.apps.cluster-hyper.hyper.dev.redhatworkshops.io DOMAIN = gitea-gitea.apps.cluster-hyper.hyper.dev.redhatworkshops.io [...]
-
Create Gitea making sure the
giteaHostname
is part of thespec
.
