Chapter 3. Using Pipelines as Code with a Git repository hosting service provider After installing Pipelines as Code, cluster administrators can configure a Git repository hosting service provider. Currently, the following services are supported: GitHub App GitHub Webhook GitLab Bitbucket Server Bitbucket Cloud Note GitHub App is the recommended service for using with Pipelines as Code. 3.1. Using Pipelines as Code with a GitHub App GitHub Apps act as a point of integration with Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines and bring the advantage of Git-based workflows to OpenShift Pipelines. Cluster administrators can configure a single GitHub App for all cluster users. For GitHub Apps to work with Pipelines as Code, ensure that the webhook of the GitHub App points to the Pipelines as Code controller route (or ingress endpoint) that listens for GitHub events. There are three ways to set up a GitHub app for Pipelines as Code: Use the tkn command line utility. Use the Administrator perspective of the web console. Set up the app manually in GitHub and then create a secret for Pipelines as Code. By default, Pipelines as Code can communicate with one GitHub app. If you configured additional Pipelines as Code controllers to communicate with additional GitHub apps, configure each of the GitHub apps separately. You must set up GitHub apps for any additional controllers manually. 3.1.1. Configuring a GitHub App using the command line interface You can use the tkn command line utility to create a GitHub app and configure the Pipelines as Code controller for the GitHub app. Important If you created additional Pipelines as Code controllers to support additional GitHub apps, you can use this procedure only for the main controller. To create a GitHub app for an additional controller, use the manual procedure. Prerequisites You are logged on to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster as a cluster administrator. You installed the tkn command line utility with the tkn pac plugin. Procedure Enter the following command: USD tkn pac bootstrap github-app This command assumes that your account uses a standard github.com API endpoint. If you use a different GitHub API endpoint, for example, if you use GitHub Enterprise, use the --github-api-url option to specify the endpoint, as in the following example: Example command USD tkn pac bootstrap github-app --github-api-url https://github.com/enterprises/example-enterprise 3.1.2. Creating a GitHub App in administrator perspective As a cluster administrator, you can configure your GitHub App with the OpenShift Container Platform cluster to use Pipelines as Code. This configuration allows you to execute a set of tasks required for build deployment. Important If you created additional Pipelines as Code controllers to support additional GitHub apps, you can use this procedure only for the main controller. To create a GitHub app for an additional controller, use the manual procedure. Prerequisites You have installed the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines pipelines-1.15 operator from the Operator Hub. Procedure In the administrator perspective, navigate to Pipelines using the navigation pane. Click Setup GitHub App on the Pipelines page. Enter your GitHub App name. For example, pipelines-ci-clustername-testui . Click Setup . Enter your Git password when prompted in the browser. Click Create GitHub App for <username> , where <username> is your GitHub user name. Verification After successful creation of the GitHub App, the OpenShift Container Platform web console opens and displays the details about the application. The details of the GitHub App are saved as a secret in the openShift-pipelines namespace. To view details such as name, link, and secret associated with the GitHub applications, navigate to Pipelines and click View GitHub App . 3.1.3. Configuring a GitHub App manually and creating a secret for Pipelines as Code You can use the GitHub user interface to create a GitHub app. Then you must create a secret that configures Pipelines as Code to connect to GitHub app. If you created additional Pipelines as Code controllers to support additional GitHub apps, you must use this procedure for the additional controllers. Procedure Sign in to your GitHub account. In the GitHub menu, select Settings Developer settings GitHub Apps , then click New GitHub App . Provide the following information in the GitHub App form: GitHub Application Name : OpenShift Pipelines Homepage URL : OpenShift Console URL Webhook URL : The Pipelines as Code route or ingress URL. You can find it by running the following command: USD echo https://USD(oc get route -n openshift-pipelines pipelines-as-code-controller -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}') Alternatively, to configure the GitHub app for an additional Pipelines as Code controller, replace pipelines-as-code-controller with the name of the controller that you configured, as in the following example: Example command USD echo https://USD(oc get route -n openshift-pipelines pac_controller_2 -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}') Webhook secret : An arbitrary secret. You can generate a secret by running the following command: USD openssl rand -hex 20 Select the following items in the Repository permissions section: Checks : Read & Write Contents : Read & Write Issues : Read & Write Metadata : Read-only Pull request : Read & Write Select the following items in the Organization permissions section: Members : Read-only Plan : Read-only Subscribe to the following events: Check run Check suite Commit comment Issue comment Pull request Push Click Create GitHub App . On the Details page of the newly created GitHub App, note the App ID displayed at the top. In the Private keys section, click Generate Private key to automatically generate and download a private key for the GitHub app. Securely store the private key for future reference and usage. Install the created App on a repository that you want to use with Pipelines as Code. Configure Pipelines as Code to access the newly created GitHub App by entering the following command: USD oc -n openshift-pipelines create secret generic pipelines-as-code-secret \ 1 --from-literal github-private-key="USD(cat <PATH_PRIVATE_KEY>)" \ 2 --from-literal github-application-id="<APP_ID>" \ 3 --from-literal webhook.secret="<WEBHOOK_SECRET>" 4 1 If you created additional Pipelines as Code controllers to support additional GitHub apps and you are configuring the app for an additional controller, replace pipelines-as-code-secret with the name that you configured in the secretName parameter for the controller. 2 The path to the private key you downloaded while configuring the GitHub App. 3 The App ID of the GitHub App. 4 The webhook secret provided when you created the GitHub App. Note Pipelines as Code works automatically with GitHub Enterprise by detecting the header set from GitHub Enterprise and using it for the GitHub Enterprise API authorization URL. Additional resources Configuring additional Pipelines as Code controllers to support additional GitHub apps 3.1.4. Scoping the GitHub token to additional repositories Pipelines as Code uses the GitHub app to generate a GitHub access token. Pipelines as Code uses this token to retrieve the pipeline payload from the repository and to enable the CI/CD processes to interact with GitHub repositories. By default, the access token is scoped only to the repository from which Pipelines as Code retrieves the pipeline definition. In some cases, you might want the token to have access to additional repositories. For example, there might be a CI repository where the .tekton/pr.yaml file and source payload are located, but the build process defined in pr.yaml fetches tasks from a separate private CD repository. You can extend the scope of the GitHub token in two ways: Global configuration : You can extend the GitHub token to a list of repositories in different namespaces. You must have administrative permissions to set this configuration. Repository level configuration : You can extend the GitHub token to a list of repositories that exist in the same namespace as the original repository. You do not need administrative permissions to set this configuration. Procedure In the TektonConfig custom resource (CR), in the pipelinesAsCode.settings spec, set the secret-github-app-token-scoped parameter to false . This setting enables scoping the GitHub token to private and public repositories listed in the global and repository level configuration. To set global configuration for scoping the GitHub token, in the TektonConfig CR, in the pipelinesAsCode.settings spec, specify the additional repositories in the secret-github-app-scope-extra-repos parameter, as in the following example: apiVersion: operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1 kind: TektonConfig metadata: name: config spec: platforms: openshift: pipelinesAsCode: enable: true settings: secret-github-app-token-scoped: false secret-github-app-scope-extra-repos: "owner2/project2, owner3/project3" To set repository level configuration for scoping the GitHub token, specify the additional repositories in the github_app_token_scope_repos parameter of the Repository CR, as in the following example: apiVersion: "pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/v1alpha1" kind: Repository metadata: name: test namespace: test-repo spec: url: "https://github.com/linda/project" settings: github_app_token_scope_repos: - "owner/project" - "owner1/project1" In this example, the Repository custom resource is associated with the linda/project repository in the test-repo namespace. The scope of the generated GitHub token is extended to the owner/project and owner1/project1 repositories, as well as the linda/project repository. These repositories must exist under the test-repo namespace. Note The additional repositories can be public or private, but must reside in the same namespace as the repository with which the Repository resource is associated. If any of the repositories do not exist in the namespace, the scoping of the GitHub token fails with an error message: failed to scope GitHub token as repo owner1/project1 does not exist in namespace test-repo Result The generated GitHub token enables access to the additional repositories that you configured in the global and repository level configuration, as well as the original repository where the Pipelines as Code payload files are located. If you provide both global configuration and repository level configuration, the token is scoped to all the repositories from both configurations, as in the following example. TektonConfig custom resource apiVersion: operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1 kind: TektonConfig metadata: name: config spec: platforms: openshift: pipelinesAsCode: enable: true settings: secret-github-app-token-scoped: false secret-github-app-scope-extra-repos: "owner2/project2, owner3/project3" Repository custom resource apiVersion: "pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/v1alpha1" kind: Repository metadata: name: test namespace: test-repo spec: url: "https://github.com/linda/project" settings: github_app_token_scope_repos: - "owner/project" - "owner1/project1" The GitHub token is scoped to the owner/project , owner1/project1 , owner2/project2 , owner3/project3 , and linda/project respositories. 3.2. Using Pipelines as Code with GitHub Webhook Use Pipelines as Code with GitHub Webhook on your repository if you cannot create a GitHub App. However, using Pipelines as Code with GitHub Webhook does not give you access to the GitHub Check Runs API. The status of the tasks is added as comments on the pull request and is unavailable under the Checks tab. Note Pipelines as Code with GitHub Webhook does not support GitOps comments such as /retest and /ok-to-test . To restart the continuous integration (CI), create a new commit to the repository. For example, to create a new commit without any changes, you can use the following command: USD git --amend -a --no-edit && git push --force-with-lease <origin> <branchname> Prerequisites Ensure that Pipelines as Code is installed on the cluster. For authorization, create a personal access token on GitHub. To generate a secure and fine-grained token, restrict its scope to a specific repository and grant the following permissions: Table 3.1. Permissions for fine-grained tokens Name Access Administration Read-only Metadata Read-only Content Read-only Commit statuses Read and Write Pull request Read and Write Webhooks Read and Write To use classic tokens, set the scope as public_repo for public repositories and repo for private repositories. In addition, provide a short token expiration period and note the token in an alternate location. Note If you want to configure the webhook using the tkn pac CLI, add the admin:repo_hook scope. Procedure Configure the webhook and create a Repository custom resource (CR).

Interfacing Pipelines as Code with custom certificates To configure Pipelines as Code with a Git repository that is accessible with a privately signed or custom certificate, you can expose the certificate to Pipelines as Code. Procedure If you have installed Pipelines as Code using the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator, you can add your custom certificate to the cluster using the Proxy object. The Operator exposes the certificate in all Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines components and workloads, including Pipelines as Code. Additional resources Enabling the cluster-wide proxy 3.7. Using private repositories with Pipelines as Code Pipelines as Code supports private repositories by creating or updating a secret in the target namespace with the user token. The git-clone task from Tekton Hub uses the user token to clone private repositories. Whenever Pipelines as Code creates a new pipeline run in the target namespace, it creates or updates a secret with the pac-gitauth-<REPOSITORY_OWNER>-<REPOSITORY_NAME>-<RANDOM_STRING> format. You must reference the secret with the basic-auth workspace in your pipeline run and pipeline definitions, which is then passed on to the git-clone task. ... workspace: - name: basic-auth secret: secretName: "{{ git_auth_secret }}" ... In the pipeline, you can reference the basic-auth workspace for the git-clone task to reuse: ... workspaces: - name basic-auth params: - name: repo_url - name: revision ... tasks: workspaces: - name: basic-auth workspace: basic-auth ... tasks: - name: git-clone-from-catalog taskRef: name: git-clone 1 params: - name: url value: USD(params.repo_url) - name: revision value: USD(params.revision) ... 1 The git-clone task picks up the basic-auth workspace and uses it to clone the private repository. You can modify this configuration by setting the secret-auto-create parameter to either a false or true value, as required, in the TektonConfig custom resource, in the pipelinesAsCode.settings spec.
