Config Context

ConfigOption​

func ConfigOption(optionName string) string

Returns the value of the config option as a string.

For information about the config screen and associated options, see Config in the Custom Resources section.

'{{repl ConfigOption "hostname" }}'

ConfigOption returns the base64 encoded value of the file config option.

'{{repl ConfigOption "ssl_key"}}'

To use files in a Secret, use ConfigOption:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: tls-secret
type: kubernetes.io/tls
data:
  tls.crt: '{{repl ConfigOption "tls_certificate_file" }}'
  tls.key: '{{repl ConfigOption "tls_private_key_file" }}'

For more information about using TLS certificates, see Using TLS Certificates.

ConfigOptionData​

func ConfigOptionData(optionName string) string

ConfigOptionData returns the base64 decoded value of a file config option.

'{{repl ConfigOptionData "ssl_key"}}'

To use files in a ConfigMap, use ConfigOptionData:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: tls-config
data:
  tls.crt: |
    repl{{- ConfigOptionData "tls_certificate_file" | nindent 4 }}

  tls.key: |
    repl{{- ConfigOptionData "tls_private_key_file" | nindent 4 }}

ConfigOptionFilename​

func ConfigOptionFilename(optionName string) string

ConfigOptionFilename returns the filename associated with a file config option. It will return an empty string if used erroneously with other types.

'{{repl ConfigOptionFilename "pom_file"}}'

As an example, if you have the following Config Spec defined:

apiVersion: kots.io/v1beta1
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: my-application
spec:
  groups:
    - name: java_settings
      title: Java Settings
      description: Configures the Java Server build parameters
      items:
        - name: pom_file
          type: file
          required: true

You can use ConfigOptionFilename in a Pod Spec to mount a file like so:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: configmap-demo-pod
spec:
  containers:
    - name: some-java-app
      image: busybox
      command: ["bash"]
      args:
      - "-C"
      - "cat /config/{{repl ConfigOptionFilename pom_file}}"
      volumeMounts:
      - name: config
        mountPath: "/config"
        readOnly: true
  volumes:
    - name: config
      configMap:
        name: demo-configmap
        items:
        - key: data_key_one
          path: repl{{ ConfigOptionFilename pom_file }}
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: demo-configmap
data:
  data_key_one: repl{{ ConfigOptionData pom_file }}

ConfigOptionEquals​

func ConfigOptionEquals(optionName string, expectedValue string) bool

Returns true if the configuration option value is equal to the supplied value.

'{{repl ConfigOptionEquals "http_enabled" "1" }}'

ConfigOptionNotEquals​

func ConfigOptionNotEquals(optionName string, expectedValue string) bool

Returns true if the configuration option value is not equal to the supplied value.

'{{repl ConfigOptionNotEquals "http_enabled" "1" }}'

LocalRegistryAddress​

func LocalRegistryAddress() string

Returns the local registry host or host/namespace that's configured. This will always return everything before the image name and tag.

LocalRegistryHost​

func LocalRegistryHost() string

Returns the host of the local registry that the user configured. Alternatively, for air gap installations with Replicated Embedded Cluster or Replicated kURL, LocalRegistryHost returns the host of the built-in registry.

Includes the port if one is specified.

LocalRegistryNamespace​

func LocalRegistryNamespace() string

Returns the namespace of the local registry that the user configured. Alternatively, for air gap installations with Embedded Cluster or kURL, LocalRegistryNamespace returns the namespace of the built-in registry.

LocalImageName​

func LocalImageName(remoteImageName string) string

Given a remoteImageName, rewrite the remoteImageName so that it can be pulled to local hosts.

A common use case for the LocalImageName function is to ensure that a Kubernetes Operator can determine the names of container images on Pods created at runtime. For more information, see Referencing Images in the Packaging a Kubernetes Operator Application section.

LocalImageName rewrites the remoteImageName in one of the following ways, depending on if a private registry is configured and if the image must be proxied:

  • If there is a private registry configured in the customer's environment, such as in air gapped environments, rewrite remoteImageName to reference the private registry locally. For example, rewrite elasticsearch:7.6.0 as registry.somebigbank.com/my-app/elasticsearch:7.6.0.

  • If there is no private registry configured in the customer's environment, but the image must be proxied, rewrite remoteImageName so that the image can be pulled through the proxy registry. For example, rewrite "quay.io/orgname/private-image:v1.2.3" as proxy.replicated.com/proxy/app-name/quay.io/orgname/private-image:v1.2.3.

  • If there is no private registry configured in the customer's environment and the image does not need to be proxied, return remoteImageName without changes.

For more information about the Replicated proxy registry, see About the Proxy Registry.

LocalRegistryImagePullSecret​

func LocalRegistryImagePullSecret() string

Returns the base64 encoded local registry image pull secret value. This is often needed when an operator is deploying images to a namespace that is not managed by Replicated KOTS. Image pull secrets must be present in the namespace of the pod.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: my-image-pull-secret
  namespace: my-namespace
type: kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson
data:
  .dockerconfigjson: '{{repl LocalRegistryImagePullSecret }}'
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: dynamic-pod
  namespace: my-namespace
spec:
  containers:
    - image: '{{repl LocalImageName "registry.replicated.com/my-app/my-image:abcdef" }}'
      name: my-container
  imagePullSecrets:
    - name: my-image-pull-secret

ImagePullSecretName​

func ImagePullSecretName() string

Returns the name of the image pull secret that can be added to pod specs that use private images. The secret will be automatically created in all application namespaces. It will contain authentication information for any private registry used with the application.

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: my-deployment
spec:
  template:
    spec:
      imagePullSecrets:
      - name: repl{{ ImagePullSecretName }}

HasLocalRegistry​

func HasLocalRegistry() bool

Returns true if the environment is configured to rewrite images to a local registry. HasLocalRegistry is always true for air gap installations. HasLocalRegistry is true in online installations if the user pushed images to a local registry.
