CLI Manager Operator

Run the CLI Manager in your OpenShift cluster to distribute CLIs.

Deploy the operator

Quick Development

1. Build and push the operator image to a registry:
2. Ensure the image spec in deploy/07_deployment.yaml refers to the operator image you pushed
3. Run oc create -f deploy/.

OperatorHub install with custom index image

This process refers to building the operator in a way that it can be installed locally via the OperatorHub with a custom index image

1. Build and push the operator image to a registry:

   export QUAY_USER=${your_quay_user_id}
   export IMAGE_TAG=${your_image_tag}
   podman build -t quay.io/${QUAY_USER}/openshift-cli-manager-operator:${IMAGE_TAG} -f Dockerfile
   podman login quay.io -u ${QUAY_USER}
   podman push quay.io/${QUAY_USER}/openshift-cli-manager-operator:${IMAGE_TAG}

2. Export your desired/current version:

   export OPERATOR_VERSION=${your_version}

3. Update the .spec.install.spec.deployments[0].spec.template.spec.containers[0].image field in the SSO CSV under ./manifests/${OPERATOR_VERSION}/openshift-cli-manager-operator.v${OPERATOR_VERSION}.0.clusterserviceversion.yaml to point to the newly built image.

4. build and push the metadata image to a registry (e.g. https://quay.io):

   podman build -t quay.io/${QUAY_USER}/openshift-cli-manager-operator-metadata:${IMAGE_TAG} -f Dockerfile.metadata .
   podman push quay.io/${QUAY_USER}/openshift-cli-manager-metadata:${IMAGE_TAG}

5. build and push image index for operator-registry (pull and build https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-registry/ to get the opm binary)

   opm index add --bundles quay.io/${QUAY_USER}/openshift-cli-manager-operator-metadata:${IMAGE_TAG} --tag quay.io/${QUAY_USER}/openshift-cli-manager-operator-index:${IMAGE_TAG}
   podman push quay.io/${QUAY_USER}/openshift-cli-manager-operator-index:${IMAGE_TAG}

   Don't forget to increase the number of open files, .e.g. ulimit -n 100000 in case the current limit is insufficient.

6. create and apply catalogsource manifest (remember to change <<QUAY_USER>> and <<IMAGE_TAG>> to your own values):

   apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
   kind: CatalogSource
   metadata:
     name: openshift-cli-manager-operator
     namespace: openshift-marketplace
   spec:
     sourceType: grpc
     image: quay.io/<<QUAY_USER>>/openshift-cli-manager-operator-index:<<IMAGE_TAG>>

7. create openshift-cli-manager-operator namespace:

   $ oc create ns openshift-cli-manager-operator
   

8. open the console Operators -> OperatorHub, search for CLI Manager operator and install the operator
