Tekton Chain

TektonChain custom resource allows user to install and manage Tekton Chains.

It is recommended to install the component through TektonConfig.

  • TektonChain CR is as below

    • On Kubernetes, TektonChain CR is as below:
    apiVersion: operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1
kind: TektonChain
metadata:
  name: chain
spec:
  disabled: false
  targetNamespace: tekton-pipelines
    • On OpenShift, TektonChain CR is as below:
    apiVersion: operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1
kind: TektonChain
metadata:
  name: chain
spec:
  disabled: false
  targetNamespace: openshift-pipelines

  • Check the status of installation using following command:

    kubectl get tektonchains.operator.tekton.dev

Chain Config

There are some fields which you can define on Tekton Chains CR to configure the behaviour of the chains

Properties (Mandatory)

  • targetNamespace

    Setting this field to provide the namespace in which you want to install the chains component.

Properties (Optional)

These fields don’t have default values so will be considered only if user passes them. By default, Operator won’t add these fields in CR and won’t configure for chains.

The Default values for some of these fields are already set in chains and are not set by Operator. If user passes some values then those will be set for the particular field.

Details of the field can be found in Tekton Chains Config

Chains CR will look like this after providing all the fields.
