Chapter 3. Specifying remote pipelines, tasks, and step actions using resolvers

Pipelines and tasks are reusable blocks for your CI/CD processes. You can reuse pipelines or tasks that you previously developed, or that were developed by others, without having to copy and paste their definitions. These pipelines or tasks can be available from several types of sources, from other namespaces on your cluster to public catalogs.

In a pipeline run resource, you can specify a pipeline from an existing source. In a pipeline resource or a task run resource, you can specify a task from an existing source.

Step actions, defined in StepAction custom resources (CRs), are reusable actions that a single step within a task completes. When specifying a step, you can reference a StepAction definition from an existing source.

In these cases, the resolvers in Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines retrieve the pipeline, task, or StepAction definition from the specified source at run time.

The following resolvers are available in a default installaton of Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines:

Hub resolver: Retrieves a task, pipeline, or StepAction definition from the Pipelines Catalog available on Artifact Hub or Tekton Hub.
Bundles resolver: Retrieves a task, pipeline, or StepAction definition from a Tekton bundle, which is an OCI image available from any OCI repository, such as an OpenShift container repository.
Git resolver: Retrieves a task, pipeline, or StepAction definition from a Git repository. You must specify the repository, the branch, and the path.
HTTP resolver: Retrieves a task, pipeline, or StepAction definition from a remote HTTP or HTTPS URL. You must specify the URL for authentication.
Cluster resolver: Retrieves a task or pipeline that is already created on the same OpenShift Container Platform cluster in a specific namespace.
Note
In OpenShift Pipelines version 1.16, the cluster resolver does not support retrieving StepAction definitions.

An OpenShift Pipelines installation includes a set of standard tasks that you can use in your pipelines. These tasks are located in the OpenShift Pipelines installation namespace, which is normally the openshift-pipelines namespace. You can use the cluster resolver to access the tasks.

OpenShift Pipelines also provides a standard StepAction definition. You can use the HTTP resolver to access this definition.

3.1. Specifying a remote pipeline, task, or step action from a Tekton catalog

You can use the hub resolver to specify a remote pipeline, task, or StepAction definition that is defined either in a public Tekton catalog of Artifact Hub or in an instance of Tekton Hub.

Important

The Artifact Hub project is not supported with Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines. Only the configuration of Artifact Hub is supported.

3.1.1. Configuring the hub resolver

You can change the default hub for pulling a resource, and the default catalog settings, by configuring the hub resolver.

Procedure

To edit the TektonConfig custom resource, enter the following command:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
```
oc edit TektonConfig config
```
```
$ oc edit TektonConfig config
```

In the TektonConfig custom resource, edit the pipeline.hub-resolver-config spec:

1: The default Tekton Hub catalog for pulling a resource.
2: The default Artifact Hub catalog for pulling a task resource.
3: The default Artifact Hub catalog for pulling a pipeline resource.
4: The default object kind for references.
5: The default hub for pulling a resource, either artifact for Artifact Hub or tekton for Tekton Hub.
6: The Tekton Hub API used, if the default-type option is set to tekton.
7: Optional: The Artifact Hub API used, if the default-type option is set to artifact.

Important

If you set the default-type option to tekton, you must configure your own instance of the Tekton Hub by setting the tekton-hub-api value.

If you set the default-type option to artifact then the resolver uses the public hub API at https://artifacthub.io/ by default. You can configure your own Artifact Hub API by setting the artifact-hub-api value.

3.1.2. Specifying a remote pipeline, task, or step action using the hub resolver

When creating a pipeline run, you can specify a remote pipeline from Artifact Hub or Tekton Hub. When creating a pipeline or a task run, you can specify a remote task from Artifact Hub or Tekton Hub. When creating a step within a task, you can reference a remote StepAction definition from Artifact Hub or Tekton Hub.

Procedure

To specify a remote pipeline, task, or StepAction definition from Artifact Hub or Tekton Hub, use the following reference format in the pipelineRef, taskRef, or step.ref spec:

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

...
...

# ...
  resolver: hub
  params:
  - name: catalog
    value: <catalog>
  - name: type
    value: <catalog_type>
  - name: kind
    value: [pipeline|task]
  - name: name
    value: <resource_name>
  - name: version
    value: <resource_version>
# ...

Table 3.1. Supported parameters for the hub resolver
Parameter	Description	Example value
`catalog`	The catalog for pulling the resource.	Default: `tekton-catalog-tasks` (for the `task` kind); `tekton-catalog-pipelines` (for the `pipeline` kind).
`type`	The type of the catalog for pulling the resource. Either `artifact` for Artifact Hub or `tekton` for Tekton Hub.	Default: `artifact`
`kind`	Either `task` or `pipeline`.	Default: `task`
`name`	The name of the task or pipeline to fetch from the hub.	`golang-build`
`version`	The version of the task or pipeline to fetch from the hub. You must use quotes (`"`) around the number.	`"0.5.0"`

If the pipeline or task requires additional parameters, specify values for these parameters in the params section of the specification of the pipeline, pipeline run, or task run. The params section of the pipelineRef or taskRef specification must contain only the parameters that the resolver supports.

3.3. Specifying a remote pipeline, task, or step action with anonymous Git cloning

You can use the Git resolver to access a remote pipeline, task, or StepAction definition from a Git repository. The repository must include a YAML file that defines the pipeline or task. For anonymous access, you can clone repositories with the resolver without needing authentication credentials.

3.3.1. Configuring the Git resolver for anonymous Git cloning

If you want to use anonymous Git cloning, you can configure the default Git revision, fetch timeout, and default repository URL for pulling remote pipelines and tasks from a Git repository.

Procedure

To edit the TektonConfig custom resource, enter the following command:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
```
oc edit TektonConfig config
```
```
$ oc edit TektonConfig config
```

In the TektonConfig custom resource, edit the pipeline.git-resolver-config spec:

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

apiVersion: operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1
kind: TektonConfig
metadata:
  name: config
spec:

    git-resolver-config:
      default-revision: main


      fetch-timeout: 1m


      default-url: https://github.com/tektoncd/catalog.git

1: The default Git revision to use if none is specified.
2: The maximum time any single Git clone resolution may take, for example, 1m, 2s, 700ms. Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines also enforces a global maximum timeout of 1 minute on all resolution requests.
3: The default Git repository URL for anonymous cloning if none is specified.

3.3.2. Specifying a remote pipeline, task, or step action by using the Git resolver for anonymous cloning

When creating a pipeline run, you can specify a remote pipeline from a Git repository by using anonymous cloning. When creating a pipeline or a task run, you can specify a remote task from a Git repository. When creating a step within a task, you can reference a remote StepAction definition from a Git repository.

Procedure

To specify a remote pipeline, task, or StepAction definition from a Git repository, use the following reference format in the pipelineRef, taskRef, or step.ref spec:

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

...
...

# ...
  resolver: git
  params:
  - name: url
    value: <git_repository_url>
  - name: revision
    value: <branch_name>
  - name: pathInRepo
    value: <path_in_repository>
# ...

Table 3.3. Supported parameters for the Git resolver
Parameter	Description	Example value
`url`	The URL of the repository, when using anonymous cloning.	`https://github.com/tektoncd/catalog.git`
`revision`	The Git revision in the repository. You can specify a branch name, a tag name, or a commit SHA hash.	`aeb957601cf41c012be462827053a21a420befca` `main` `v0.38.2`
`pathInRepo`	The path name of the YAML file in the repository.	`task/golang-build/0.3/golang-build.yaml`

Note

To clone and fetch the repository anonymously, use the url parameter. Do not specify the url parameter and the repo parameter together.

If the pipeline or task requires additional parameters, provide these parameters in params.

3.4. Specifying a remote pipeline, task, or step action with an authenticated Git API

You can specify a remote pipeline, task, or StepAction definition from a Git repository by using the Git resolver. The repository must contain a YAML file that defines the pipeline or task. You can securely access repositories by using an authenticated API, which supports user authentication.

3.4.1. Configuring the Git resolver for an authenticated API

For an authenticated Source Control Management (SCM) API, you must set the configuration for the authenticated Git connection.

You can use Git repository providers that are supported by the go-scm library. Not all go-scm implementations have been tested with the Git resolver, but the following providers are known to work:

github.com and GitHub Enterprise
gitlab.com and self-hosted Gitlab
Gitea
BitBucket Server
BitBucket Cloud

Note

You can configure Git connections by using the authenticated SCM API. You can provide a security token that enables all users on your cluster to access one repository. Additionally, you can specify different SCM providers and tokens for specific pipelines or tasks.
If you configure the Git resolver to use the authenticated SCM API, you can also use anonymous Git clone references to retrieve pipelines and tasks.

Procedure

To edit the TektonConfig custom resource, enter the following command:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
```
oc edit TektonConfig config
```
```
$ oc edit TektonConfig config
```

In the TektonConfig custom resource, edit the pipeline.git-resolver-config spec:

1: The default Git revision to use if none is specified.
2: The maximum time any single Git clone resolution may take, for example, 1m, 2s, 700ms. Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines also enforces a global maximum timeout of 1 minute on all resolution requests.
3: The SCM provider type.
4: The base URL for use with the authenticated SCM API. This setting is not required if you are using github.com, gitlab.com, or BitBucket Cloud.
5: The name of the secret that contains the SCM provider API token.
6: The key within the token secret that contains the token.
7: The namespace containing the token secret, if not default.
8: Optional: The default organization for the repository, when using the authenticated API. This organization is used if you do not specify an organization in the resolver parameters.

Note

The scm-type, api-token-secret-name, and api-token-secret-key settings are required to use the authenticated SCM API.

3.4.2. Specifying a remote pipeline, task, or step action using the Git resolver with the authenticated SCM API

When creating a pipeline run, you can specify a remote pipeline from a Git repository using the authenticated SCM API. When creating a pipeline or a task run, you can specify a remote task from a Git repository. When creating a step within a task, you can reference a remote StepAction definition from a Git repository.

Prerequisites

If you want to use the authenticated SCM API, you must configure the authenticated Git connection for the Git resolver.

Procedure

To specify a remote pipeline, task, or StepAction definition from a Git repository, use the following reference format in the pipelineRef, taskRef, or step.ref spec:

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

...
...

# ...
  resolver: git
  params:
  - name: org
    value: <git_organization_name>
  - name: repo
    value: <git_repository_name>
  - name: revision
    value: <branch_name>
  - name: pathInRepo
    value: <path_in_repository>
# ...

Table 3.4. Supported parameters for the Git resolver
Parameter	Description	Example value
`org`	The organization for the repository, when using the authenticated SCM API.	`tektoncd`
`repo`	The repository name, when using the authenticated SCM API.	`test-infra`
`revision`	The Git revision in the repository. You can specify a branch name, a tag name, or a commit SHA hash.	`aeb957601cf41c012be462827053a21a420befca` `main` `v0.38.2`
`pathInRepo`	The path name of the YAML file in the repository.	`task/golang-build/0.3/golang-build.yaml`

Note

To clone and fetch the repository anonymously, use the url parameter. To use the authenticated SCM API, use the repo parameter. Do not specify the url parameter and the repo parameter together.

3.6. Specifying a pipeline or task from the same cluster

You can use the cluster resolver to specify a pipeline or task that is defined in a namespace on the OpenShift Container Platform cluster where Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines is running.

In particular, you can use the cluster resolver to access tasks that OpenShift Pipelines provides in its installation namespace, which is normally the openshift-pipelines namespace.

3.6.1. Configuring the cluster resolver

You can change the default kind and namespace for the cluster resolver, or limit the namespaces that the cluster resolver can use.

Procedure

To edit the TektonConfig custom resource, enter the following command:
Copy to Clipboard Copied! Toggle word wrap Toggle overflow
```
oc edit TektonConfig config
```
```
$ oc edit TektonConfig config
```

In the TektonConfig custom resource, edit the pipeline.cluster-resolver-config spec:

      blocked-namespaces: namespace3, namespace4

1: The default resource kind to fetch, if not specified in parameters.
2: The default namespace for fetching resources, if not specified in parameters.
3: A comma-separated list of namespaces that the resolver is allowed to access. If this key is not defined, all namespaces are allowed.
4: An optional comma-separated list of namespaces which the resolver is blocked from accessing. If this key is not defined, all namespaces are allowed.

3.6.2. Specifying a pipeline or task from the same cluster using the cluster resolver

When creating a pipeline run, you can specify a pipeline that exists on the same cluster. When creating a pipeline or a task run, you can specify a task that exists on the the same cluster.

Procedure

To specify a pipeline or task from the same cluster, use the following reference format in the pipelineRef or taskRef spec:

Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

...
...

# ...
  resolver: cluster

3.7. Tasks provided in the OpenShift Pipelines namespace

ClusterTask functionality is deprecated since OpenShift Pipelines 1.10 and is planned for removal in a future release. If your pipelines use ClusterTasks, you can re-create them with the tasks that are available from the OpenShift Pipelines installation namespace by using the cluster resolver. However, certain changes are made in these tasks compared to the existing ClusterTasks.

You cannot specify a custom execution image in any of the tasks available in the OpenShift Pipelines installation namespace. These tasks do not support parameters such as BUILDER_IMAGE, gitInitImage, or KN_IMAGE. If you want to use a custom execution image, create a copy of the task and replace the image by editing the copy.

buildah

The buildah task builds a source code tree into a container image and then pushes the image to a container registry.

skopeo-copy

The skopeo-copy task executes the skopeo copy command.

Skopeo is a command-line tool for working with remote container image registries, which does not require a daemon or other infrastructure to load and run the images. The skopeo copy command copies an image from one remote registry to another, for example, from an internal registry to a production registry. Skopeo supports authorization on image registries using credentials that you provide.

3.8. Step action provided with OpenShift Pipelines

OpenShift Pipelines provides a standard StepAction definition that you can use in your tasks. Use the HTTP resolver to reference this definition.

git-clone

The git-clone step action uses Git to initialize and clone a remote repository on a workspace. You can use this step action to define a task that clones a repository at the start of a pipeline that builds or otherwise processes this source code.

To reference this step action in a task, use the HTTP resolver with the following URL:

Table 3.52. Supported parameters for the git-clone step action
Parameter	Description	Type	Default value
`OUTPUT_PATH`	A directory for the fetched Git repository. Cloned repo data is placed in the root of the directory or in the relative path defined by the `SUBDIRECTORY` parameter	`string`
`SSH_DIRECTORY_PATH`	A `.ssh` directory with the private key, `known_hosts`, `config`, and other files as necessary. If you provide this directory, the task uses it for authentication to the Git repository. Bind the workspace providing this directory to a `Secret` resource for secure storage of authentication information.	`string`
`BASIC_AUTH_PATH`	A directory containing a `.gitconfig` and `.git-credentials` files. If you provide this directgory, the task uses it for authentication to the Git repository. Use a `SSH_DIRECTORY_PATH` directory for authentication instead of `BASIC_AUTH_PATH` whenever possible. Bind the workspace providing this directory to a `Secret` resource for secure storage of authentication information.	`string`
`SSL_CA_DIRECTORY_PATH`	A workspace containing CA certificates. If you provide this workspace, Git uses these certificates to verify the peer when interacting with remote repositories using HTTPS.	`string`
`CRT_FILENAME`	Certificate authority (CA) bundle filename in the `ssl-ca-directory` workspace.	`string`	`ca-bundle.crt`
`HTTP_PROXY`	HTTP proxy server (non-TLS requests).	`string`
`HTTPS_PROXY`	HTTPS proxy server (TLS requests).	`string`
`NO_PROXY`	Opt out of proxying HTTP/HTTPS requests.	`string`
`SUBDIRECTORY`	Relative path in the `output` workspace where the task places the Git repository.	`string`
`USER_HOME`	Absolute path to the Git user home directory in the pod.	`string`	`/home/git`
`DELETE_EXISTING`	Delete the contents of the default workspace, if they exist, before running the Git operations.	`string`	`true`
`VERBOSE`	Log the executed commands.	`string`	`false`

3.9. About non-versioned and versioned tasks

The openshift-pipelines namespace includes versioned tasks alongside standard non-versioned tasks. For example, installing the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator version 1.16 creates the following items:

buildah-1-16-0 versioned task
buildah non-versioned task

Non-versioned and versioned tasks have the same metadata, behavior, and specifications, including params, workspaces, and steps. However, they behave differently when you disable them or upgrade the Operator.

Before adopting non-versioned or versioned tasks as a standard in production environments, cluster administrators might consider their advantages and disadvantages.

Table 3.54. Advantages and disadvantages of non-versioned and versioned tasks
	Advantages	Disadvantages
Non-versioned tasks	If you prefer deploying pipelines with the latest updates and bug fixes, use non-versioned tasks. Upgrading the Operator upgrades the non-versioned tasks, which consumes fewer resources than multiple versioned tasks.	If you deploy pipelines that use non-versioned tasks, they might break after an Operator upgrade if the automatically upgraded tasks are not backward-compatible.
Versioned tasks	If you prefer pipelines in production that do not change after a version update, use versioned tasks. When you install a new version of the Operator, the versioned tasks from the current minor version and the immediate previous minor version are retained.	If you continue using the earlier versions, you might miss the latest features and critical security updates. After an upgrade, the Operator cannot manage the earlier versioned tasks. If you delete the earlier versions manually, you cannot restore them. After an upgrade, the Operator can delete versioned tasks from versions earlier than the previous minor release. When you install a new version of and the versioned tasks from an earlier version are deleted, pipelines that use the versioned tasks from the earlier version stop working.

Non-versioned and versioned tasks have different naming conventions, and the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator upgrades them differently.

Table 3.55. Differences between non-versioned and versioned tasks
	Nomenclature	Upgrade
Non-versioned tasks	Non-versioned tasks only contain the name of the task. For example, the name of the non-versioned task of Buildah installed with Operator v1.16 is `buildah`.	When you upgrade the Operator, it updates the non-versioned tasks with the latest changes. The name remains unchanged.
Versioned tasks	Versioned tasks contain the name, followed by the version as a suffix. For example, the name of the versioned task of Buildah installed with Operator v1.16 is `buildah-1-16-0`.	Upgrading the Operator installs the latest version of versioned tasks, retains the immediate previous version, and deletes the earlier versions. The latest version corresponds to the upgraded Operator. For example, installing Operator 1.18 installs the `buildah-1-18-0` task, retains the `buildah-1-17-0` task, and deletes earlier versions such as `buildah-1-16-0`.
