Bitbucket Cloud

Use Pipelines-as-Code with Bitbucket Cloud #

Pipelines-As-Code supports on Bitbucket Cloud through a webhook.

Follow the Pipelines-As-Code installation according to your Kubernetes cluster.

Create Bitbucket Cloud App Password #

Follow this guide to create an app password:

https://support.atlassian.com/bitbucket-cloud/docs/app-passwords/

Check these boxes to add the permissions to the token:

  • Account: Email, Read
  • Workspace membership: Read, Write
  • Projects: Read, Write
  • Issues: Read, Write
  • Pull requests: Read, Write

NOTE: If you are going to configure webhook through CLI, you must also add additional permission

  • Webhooks: Read and write
Refer to this screenshot to verify you have properly configured the app password.

Keep the generated token noted somewhere, or otherwise you will have to recreate it.

Create a Repository and configure webhook #

There are two ways to create the Repository and configure the webhook:

Create a Repository and configure webhook using the tkn pac tool #

  • Use the tkn pac create repo command to configure a webhook and create the Repository CR.

    You need to have a App Password created. tkn pac will use this token to configure the webhook, and add it in a secret in the cluster which will be used by Pipelines-As-Code controller for accessing the Repository.

Below is the sample format for tkn pac create repo

$ tkn pac create repo

? Enter the Git repository url (default: https://bitbucket.org/workspace/repo):
? Please enter the namespace where the pipeline should run (default: repo-pipelines):
! Namespace repo-pipelines is not found
? Would you like me to create the namespace repo-pipelines? Yes

โ„น You can test your pipeline by pushing the generated template to your git repository

Create a Repository and configure webhook manually #

  • From the left navigation pane of your Bitbucket Cloud repository, go to Repository settings –> Webhooks tab and click on the Add webhook button.

    • Set a Title (i.e: Pipelines-as-Code)

    • Set the URL to Pipelines-as-Code controller public URL. On OpenShift, you can get the public URL of the Pipelines-as-Code controller like this:

      echo https://$(oc get route -n pipelines-as-code pipelines-as-code-controller -o jsonpath='{.spec.host}')
      
    • The individual events to select are :

      • Repository -> Push
      • Pull Request -> Created
      • Pull Request -> Updated
      • Pull Request -> Comment created
      [Refer to this screenshot](/images/bitbucket-cloud-create-webhook.png) to verify you have properly configured the webhook.
      
    • Click on Save.

  • You can now create a Repository CRD. It will have:

    • A Username (i.e: your Bitbucket username).
    • A reference to a Kubernetes Secret containing the App Password as generated previously for Pipelines-as-Code operations.
  • Create the secret with the app password in the target-namespace:

    kubectl -n target-namespace create secret generic bitbucket-cloud-token \
            --from-literal provider.token="APP_PASSWORD_AS_GENERATED_PREVIOUSLY"
    
  • Create the Repository CRD with the secret field referencing it. For example:

  ---
  apiVersion: "pipelinesascode.tekton.dev/v1alpha1"
  kind: Repository
  metadata:
    name: my-repo
    namespace: target-namespace
  spec:
    url: "https://bitbucket.com/workspace/repo"
    branch: "main"
    git_provider:
      user: "yourbitbucketusername"
      secret:
        name: "bitbucket-cloud-token"
        # Set this if you have a different key in your secret
        # key: โ€œprovider.tokenโ€œ

Bitbucket Cloud Notes #

  • The git_provider.secret key cannot reference to a secret in another namespace. Pipelines as code always assumes that it will be in the same namespace where the Repository has been created.

  • The tkn pac create and tkn pac bootstrap commands are not supported on Bitbucket Server.

You can only reference a user by the ACCOUNT_ID in a owner file. For reason see here:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/bitbucket-api-changes-gdpr/#introducing-atlassian-account-id-and-nicknames

  • There is no webhook secret support in Bitbucket Cloud. To secure the payload and prevent hijacking of the CI, Pipelines-as-Code will fetch the IP addresses list from https://ip-ranges.atlassian.com/ and ensure that the webhook receptions come only from the Bitbucket Cloud IPs.

  • If you want to add some IP addresses or networks, you can add them to the bitbucket-cloud-additional-source-ip key in the pipelines-as-code ConfigMap in the pipelines-as-code namespace. You can add multiple network or IPs separated by a comma.

  • If you want to disable this behavior you can set the bitbucket-cloud-check-source-ip key to false in the pipelines-as-code ConfigMap in the pipelines-as-code namespace.

Add webhook secret #

  • For an existing Repository, if webhook secret has been deleted (or you want to add a new webhook to project settings) for Bitbucket Cloud, use tkn pac webhook add command to add a webhook to project repository settings, as well as update the webhook.secret key in the existing Secret object without updating Repository.

Below is the sample format for tkn pac webhook add

$ tkn pac webhook add -n repo-pipelines

โœ“ Setting up Bitbucket Webhook for Repository https://bitbucket.org/workspace/repo
? Please enter your bitbucket cloud username:  <username>
๐Ÿ‘€ I have detected a controller url: https://pipelines-as-code-controller-openshift-pipelines.apps.awscl2.aws.ospqa.com
? Do you want me to use it? Yes
โœ“ Webhook has been created on repository workspace/repo
๐Ÿ”‘ Secret workspace-repo has been updated with webhook secret in the repo-pipelines namespace.

Note: If Repository exist in a namespace other than the default namespace, use tkn pac webhook add [-n namespace]. In the above example, Repository exist in the repo-pipelines namespace rather than the default namespace; therefore the webhook was added in the repo-pipelines namespace.

Update token #

There are two ways to update the provider token for the existing Repository:

Update using tkn pac cli #

Below is the sample format for tkn pac webhook update-token

$ tkn pac webhook update-token -n repo-pipelines

? Please enter your personal access token:  ************************************
๐Ÿ”‘ Secret workspace-repo has been updated with new personal access token in the repo-pipelines namespace.

NOTE: If Repository exist in a namespace other than the default namespace, use tkn pac webhook update-token [-n namespace]. In the above example, Repository exist in the repo-pipelines namespace rather than the default namespace; therefore the webhook token updated in the repo-pipelines namespace.

Update by changing Repository YAML or using kubectl patch command #

When you have regenerated an app password, you must update it in the cluster. For example, you can replace $password and $target_namespace with their respective values:

You can find the secret name in the Repository CR.

spec:
  git_provider:
    secret:
      name: "bitbucket-cloud-token"
kubectl -n $target_namespace patch secret bitbucket-cloud-token -p "{\"data\": {\"provider.token\": \"$(echo -n $password|base64 -w0)\"}}"
