Installation Through Operator #

The easiest way to install Pipelines as Code on OpenShift is with the Red Hat Openshift Pipelines Operator.

On the OpenShift Pipelines Operator, the default namespace is openshift-pipelines.

Note:

When Pipelines as Code is installed through the Tekton Operator the configurations of Pipelines as Code is controlled by TektonConfig Custom Resource. That means Tekton Operator will revert the configurations changes done directly on pipeline-as-code configmap or OpenShiftPipelinesAsCode custom resource.

The default configurations for Pipelines as Code in TektonConfig looks like below

apiVersion: operator.tekton.dev/v1alpha1
kind: TektonConfig
metadata:
  name: config
spec:
  platforms:
    openshift:
      pipelinesAsCode:
        enable: true
        settings:
          bitbucket-cloud-check-source-ip: 'true'
          remote-tasks: 'true'
          application-name: Pipelines as Code CI
          auto-configure-new-github-repo: 'false'
          error-log-snippet: 'true'
          error-detection-from-container-logs: 'false'
          hub-url: 'https://api.hub.tekton.dev/v1'
          hub-catalog-name: tekton
          error-detection-max-number-of-lines: '50'
          error-detection-simple-regexp: >-
            ^(?P<filename>[^:]*):(?P<line>[0-9]+):(?P<column>[0-9]+):([
            ]*)?(?P<error>.*)            
          secret-auto-create: 'true'
          secret-github-app-token-scoped: 'true'

You can add or update all supported configuration keys for Pipelines as Code under settings. After you change the TektonConfig custom resource, the operator updates the configuration of your pipelines-as-code configmap automatically.

Note:

By default, Tekton Operator installs Pipelines as Code, default value of enable is true as in the following example:

spec:
  platforms:
    openshift:
      pipelinesAsCode:
        enable: true
        settings:

To disable installation of Pipelines as Code, you can set enable: false as in the following example:

spec:
  platforms:
    openshift:
      pipelinesAsCode:
        enable: false
        settings:
