Github Action for Okteto

With the Okteto Context action you can automate your workflow to configure your Okteto context using an API token. This action is a prerequisite for the rest of the Okteto actions.

Configure your Okteto API Token

Copy your Okteto API token and save it as a secret with the name OKTETO_TOKEN in the GitHub repository.

Inputs

`token`

Required Your Okteto API token.

`url`

Required Your Okteto instance URL.

`log-level`

Log level used. Supported values are: debug, info, warn, error. (defaults to warn)

Example usage

This example runs the context action and then activates a namespace.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:

  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    
    - uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        url: https://okteto.example.com
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
    
    - name: "Build"
      uses: okteto/build@latest

Advanced usage

Custom Certification Authorities or Self-signed certificates

You can specify a custom certificate authority or a self-signed certificate by setting the OKTETO_CA_CERT environment variable. When this variable is set, the action will install the certificate in the container, and then execute the action.

Use this option if you're using a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate in your Okteto SH instance. We recommend that you store the certificate as an encrypted secret, and that you define the environment variable for the entire job, instead of doing it on every step.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:
  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      OKTETO_CA_CERT: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_CA_CERT }}
    steps:
    
    - uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        url: https://okteto.example.com
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
    
    - name: "Build"
      uses: okteto/build@latest
