Chapter 6. Red Hat Quay build enhancements

Procedure

1. Log in to your Red Hat Quay cluster using a cluster administrator account.

2. Create a new project where your virtual builders will be run, for example, virtual-builders, by running the following command:

   $ oc new-project virtual-builders

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3. Create a ServiceAccount in the project that will be used to run builds by entering the following command:

   $ oc create sa -n virtual-builders quay-builder

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

4. Provide the created service account with editing permissions so that it can run the build:

   $ oc adm policy -n virtual-builders add-role-to-user edit system:serviceaccount:virtual-builders:quay-builder

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

5. Grant the Quay builder anyuid scc permissions by entering the following command:

   $ oc adm policy -n virtual-builders add-scc-to-user anyuid -z quay-builder

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
   Note

   This action requires cluster admin privileges. This is required because builders must run as the Podman user for unprivileged or rootless builds to work.

6. Obtain the token for the Quay builder service account.

   1. If using OpenShift Container Platform 4.10 or an earlier version, enter the following command:

      oc sa get-token -n virtual-builders quay-builder

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   2. If using OpenShift Container Platform 4.11 or later, enter the following command:

      $ oc create token quay-builder -n virtual-builders

      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

      Example output

      eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6IldfQUJkaDVmb3ltTHZ0dGZMYjhIWnYxZTQzN2dJVEJxcDJscldSdEUtYWsifQ...

7. Determine the builder route by entering the following command:

   $ oc get route -n quay-enterprise

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   Example output

   NAME                                  HOST/PORT                                                                    PATH   SERVICES                              PORT   TERMINATION     WILDCARD
   ...

   ...

8. Generate a self-signed SSL/TlS certificate with the .crt extension by entering the following command:

   $ oc extract cm/kube-root-ca.crt -n openshift-apiserver

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   Example output

   ca.crt

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

9. Rename the ca.crt file to extra_ca_cert_build_cluster.crt by entering the following command:

   $ mv ca.crt extra_ca_cert_build_cluster.crt

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

10. Locate the secret for you configuration bundle in the Console, and select Actions Edit Secret and add the appropriate builder configuration:

    FEATURE_USER_INITIALIZE: true
    BROWSER_API_CALLS_XHR_ONLY: false
    SUPER_USERS:

    The build route is obtained by running oc get route -n with the name of your OpenShift Operator’s namespace. A port must be provided at the end of the route, and it should use the following format: [quayregistry-cr-name]-quay-builder-[ocp-namespace].[ocp-domain-name]:443.

    2

    If the JOB_REGISTRATION_TIMEOUT parameter is set too low, you might receive the following error: failed to register job to build manager: rpc error: code = Unauthenticated desc = Invalid build token: Signature has expired. It is suggested that this parameter be set to at least 240.

    3

    If your Redis host has a password or SSL/TLS certificates, you must update accordingly.

    4

    Set to match the name of your virtual builders namespace, for example, virtual-builders.

    5

    For early access, the BUILDER_CONTAINER_IMAGE is currently quay.io/projectquay/quay-builder:3.7.0-rc.2. Note that this might change during the early access window. If this happens, customers are alerted.

    6

    The K8S_API_SERVER is obtained by running oc cluster-info.

    7

    You must manually create and add your custom CA cert, for example, K8S_API_TLS_CA: /conf/stack/extra_ca_certs/build_cluster.crt.

    8

    Defaults to 5120Mi if left unspecified.

    9

    For virtual builds, you must ensure that there are enough resources in your cluster. Defaults to 1000m if left unspecified.

    10

    Defaults to 3968Mi if left unspecified.

    11

    Defaults to 500m if left unspecified.

    12

    Obtained when running oc create sa.

Procedure

1. Log in to your Red Hat Quay repository.
2. Click Create New Repository and create a new registry, for example, testrepo.

3. On the Repositories page, click the Builds tab on the navigation pane. Alternatively, use the corresponding URL directly:

   https://example-registry-quay-quay-enterprise.apps.docs.quayteam.org/repository/quayadmin/testrepo?tab=builds

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
   Important

   In some cases, the builder might have issues resolving hostnames. This issue might be related to the dnsPolicy being set to default on the job object. Currently, there is no workaround for this issue. It will be resolved in a future version of Red Hat Quay.

4. Click Create Build Trigger Custom Git Repository Push.

5. Enter the HTTPS or SSH style URL used to clone your Git repository, then click Continue. For example:

   https://github.com/gabriel-rh/actions_test.git

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
6. Check Tag manifest with the branch or tag name and then click Continue.
7. Enter the location of the Dockerfile to build when the trigger is invoked, for example, /Dockerfile and click Continue.
8. Enter the location of the context for the Docker build, for example, /, and click Continue.
9. If warranted, create a Robot Account. Otherwise, click Continue.
10. Click Continue to verify the parameters.
11. On the Builds page, click Options icon of your Trigger Name, and then click Run Trigger Now.
12. Enter a commit SHA from the Git repository and click Start Build.
