Partner Demo of GitOps flow for Coder Admin
A demonstration project showcasing GitOps workflows and best practices for Coder administration. This repo is meant to be used in conjunction with our Kubernetes Devcontainer template, which creates a Coder Workspace a Coder Admin can use for deployment and template administration. The .devcontainer specification contained in this repo will deploy a Workspace that has terraform, helm, and kubectl utilities provisioned that are commonly used by Platform Engineering teams supporting Coder.
IaC is provided as terraform scripts along with bash script templates_gitops.sh that enable Coder templates to be created and versioned within this repo using a terraform-based GitOps flow.
- Coder 2.X deployment on K8S
- Coder Admin User access
- Kubernetes Devcontainer template installed
- Fork or copy this repo into your own Git account
- Create a Workspace from the Kubernetes Devcontainer template
- Use the repo you forked/copied for the Repository parameter of the created Workspace
The GitOps workflow implemented in this demo uses terraform IaC, the Coder CLI, and a supplied bash script:
- template_versions.tf - Coder Template resource definitions
- templates/.. - Subdirectory for Coder Template IaC source code referenced in template_versions.tf
- From Coder Workspace, open a terminal and cd to templates
- Initialize your Workspace terraform environment
terraform init- Use the Coder CLI, and login into Coder and obtain Coder Session Token
coder login $CODER_AGENT_URL- Create and update templates defined in template_versions.tf
./templates_gitops.sh <Coder Session Token>- Demonstrates Coder Kubernetes Devcontainer Workspaces for Platform Engineering
- Implements basic GitOps workflow for Coder Template adminstration using Coder CLI, Terraform, and Git for template change management
- Other template source available at the Coder Template Registry
