Tekton Result

TektonResult custom resource allows user to install and manage Tekton Result.

TektonResult is an optional component and currently cannot be installed through TektonConfig. It has to be installed seperately.

NOTE: TektonResult is enabled only on Kubernetes Platform and not on OpenShift.

To install Tekton Result on your cluster follow steps as given below:

• Make sure Tekton Pipelines is installed on your cluster, using the Operator.

• Generate a database root password. A database root password must be generated and stored in a Kubernetes Secret before installing results. By default, Tekton Results expects this secret to have the following properties:

  • namespace: tekton-pipelines
  • name: tekton-results-mysql
  • contains the fields:
    • user=root
    • password=<your password>

  If you are not using a particular password management strategy, the following command will generate a random password for you: Update namespace value in the command if Tekton Pipelines is installed in a different namespace..

  $ kubectl create secret generic tekton-results-mysql --namespace=tekton-pipelines --from-literal=user=root --from-literal=password=$(openssl rand -base64 20)
  

• Generate cert/key pair. Note: Feel free to use any cert management software to do this!

  Tekton Results expects the cert/key pair to be stored in a TLS Kubernetes Secret. Update the namespace value in below export command if Tekton Pipelines is installed in a different namespace.

  # Generate new self-signed cert.
  $ export NAMESPACE="tekton-pipelines"
  $ openssl req -x509 \
  -newkey rsa:4096 \
  -keyout key.pem \
  -out cert.pem \
  -days 365 \
  -nodes \
  -subj "/CN=tekton-results-api-service.${NAMESPACE}.svc.cluster.local" \
  -addext "subjectAltName = DNS:tekton-results-api-service.${NAMESPACE}.svc.cluster.local"
  # Create new TLS Secret from cert.
  $ kubectl create secret tls -n ${NAMESPACE} tekton-results-tls \
  --cert=cert.pem \
  --key=key.pem
  

• Once the secrets are created create a TektonResult CR as below.

  kubectl apply -f config/crs/kubernetes/result/operator_v1alpha1_result_cr.yaml
  

• Check the status of installation using following command

  kubectl get tektonresults.operator.tekton.dev
