Installation

Install Shipwright on your Kubernetes cluster.

The Shipwright Build APIs and controllers can be installed directly with our release deployment, or with our operator.

Prerequsites

  • Kubernetes 1.21 or later.

  • Tekton pipelines v0.41 or later.

    kubectl apply --filename https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/pipeline/latest/release.yaml
    

Installing Shipwright Builds with the Operator

The Shipwright operator is designed to be installed with the Operator Lifecycle Manager (“OLM”). Before installation, ensure that OLM has been deployed on your cluster by following the OLM installation instructions.

Installation

Once OLM has been deployed, use the following command to install the latest operator release from operatorhub.io:

$ kubectl apply -f https://operatorhub.io/install/shipwright-operator.yaml

Usage

To deploy and manage Shipwright Builds in your cluster, first make sure this operator is installed and running.

Next, create the following:

---
apiVersion: operator.shipwright.io/v1alpha1
kind: ShipwrightBuild
metadata:
  name: shipwright-operator
spec:
  targetNamespace: shipwright-build

The operator will deploy Shipwright Builds in the provided targetNamespace. When .spec.targetNamespace is not set, the namespace will default to shipwright-build. Refer to the ShipwrightBuild documentation for more information about this custom resource.

Installing Shipwright Builds Directly

We also publish a Kubernetes manifest that installs Shipwright directly into the shipwright-build namespace. Applying this manifest requires cluster administrator permissions:

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/shipwright-io/build/releases/latest/download/release.yaml

Installing Sample Build Strategies

The Shipwright community maintains a curated set of build strategies for popular build tools. These can be optionally installed after Shipwright Builds has been deployed:

$ kubectl apply -f https://github.com/shipwright-io/build/releases/latest/download/sample-strategies.yaml
