Registering a deployment repository#

In addition to setting up a git repository, it is essential to generate an access token. This token authorizes the pkgserver to perform the necessary CRUD operations with the required permissions.

Here is an example how this can be performed. Set the following environment variable

GITHUB_USERNAME=<username>
GITHUB_TOKEN=<token>

using this command a git-pat secret is created

kubectl create secret generic git-pat \
  --from-literal=username=${GITHUB_USERNAME} \
  --from-literal=password=${GITHUB_TOKEN} \
  --type=kubernetes.io/basic-auth

With the following command a deployment repository is created that can be used for deployment and has the proper access right to perform the full lifecycle management of packages within this repository

kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: config.pkg.pkgserver.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Repository
metadata:
  name: repo-target
spec:
  type: git
  deployment: true
  git:
    url: https://github.com/pkgserver-dev/pkgserver-demo-target.git
    credentials: git-pat
EOF

k get repositories.config.pkg.pkgserver.dev repo-target 

NAME          READY   DEPLOYMENT   TYPE   ADDRESS
repo-target   True    true         git    https://github.com/pkgserver-dev/pkgserver-demo-target.git

Discovery is NOT performed by the pkgserver for deployment repositories. As such packages are not discovered automatically be the pkgserver.
