community.okd.openshift_build module – Start a new build or Cancel running, pending, or new builds.

Note

This module is part of the community.okd collection (version 2.3.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.okd. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.okd.openshift_build.

New in community.okd 2.3.0

Synopsis

  • This module starts a new build from the provided build config or build name.

  • This module also cancel a new, pending or running build by requesting a graceful shutdown of the build. There may be a delay between requesting the build and the time the build is terminated.

  • This can also restart a new build when the current is cancelled.

  • Analogous to oc cancel-build and oc start-build.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 3.6

  • kubernetes >= 12.0.0

Choices:

  • "Pending"

  • "Running"

Default: []

ca_cert

aliases: ssl_ca_cert

path

Path to a CA certificate used to authenticate with the API. The full certificate chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable.

client_cert

aliases: cert_file

path

Path to a certificate used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CERT_FILE environment variable.

client_key

aliases: key_file

path

Path to a key file used to authenticate with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KEY_FILE environment variable.

commit

string

Specify the source code commit identifier the build should use; requires a build based on a Git repository.

context

string

The name of a context found in the config file. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_CONTEXT environment variable.

env_vars

list / elements=dictionary

Specify a list of key-value pair for an environment variable to set for the build container.

name

string / required

Environment variable name.

value

string / required

Environment variable value.

host

string

Provide a URL for accessing the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_HOST environment variable.

impersonate_groups

list / elements=string

added in kubernetes.core 2.3.0

Group(s) to impersonate for the operation.

Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_IMPERSONATE_GROUPS environment. Example: Group1,Group2

impersonate_user

string

added in kubernetes.core 2.3.0

Username to impersonate for the operation.

Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_IMPERSONATE_USER environment.

incremental

boolean

Overrides the incremental setting in a source-strategy build, ignored if not specified.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

kubeconfig

any

Path to an existing Kubernetes config file. If not provided, and no other connection options are provided, the Kubernetes client will attempt to load the default configuration file from ~/.kube/config. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_KUBECONFIG environment variable.

Multiple Kubernetes config file can be provided using separator ‘;’ for Windows platform or ‘:’ for others platforms.

The kubernetes configuration can be provided as dictionary. This feature requires a python kubernetes client version >= 17.17.0. Added in version 2.2.0.

namespace

string / required

Specify the namespace for the build or the build config.

no_cache

boolean

Overrides the noCache setting in a docker-strategy build, ignored if not specified.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

no_proxy

string

added in kubernetes.core 2.3.0

The comma separated list of hosts/domains/IP/CIDR that shouldn’t go through proxy. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_NO_PROXY environment variable.

Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. NO_PROXY).

This feature requires kubernetes>=19.15.0. When kubernetes library is less than 19.15.0, it fails even no_proxy set in correct.

example value is “localhost,.local,.example.com,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16”

password

string

Provide a password for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PASSWORD environment variable.

Please read the description of the username option for a discussion of when this option is applicable.

persist_config

boolean

Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable.

When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new refresh token to the kube config file.

Default to false.

Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support setting this flag to True yet.

The fix for this k8s python library is here: https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python-base/pull/169

Choices:

  • false

  • true

proxy

string

The URL of an HTTP proxy to use for the connection. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY environment variable.

Please note that this module does not pick up typical proxy settings from the environment (e.g. HTTP_PROXY).

proxy_headers

dictionary

added in kubernetes.core 2.0.0

The Header used for the HTTP proxy.

Documentation can be found here https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference/urllib3.util.html?highlight=proxy_headers#urllib3.util.make_headers.

basic_auth

string

Colon-separated username:password for basic authentication header.

Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_BASIC_AUTH environment.

proxy_basic_auth

string

Colon-separated username:password for proxy basic authentication header.

Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_PROXY_BASIC_AUTH environment.

user_agent

string

String representing the user-agent you want, such as foo/1.0.

Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_PROXY_HEADERS_USER_AGENT environment.

state

string

Determines if a Build should be started ,cancelled or restarted.

When set to restarted a new build will be created after the current build is cancelled.

Choices:

  • "started" ← (default)

  • "cancelled"

  • "restarted"

username

string

Provide a username for authenticating with the API. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_USERNAME environment variable.

Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth. If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift), this option will not work as expected and you should look into the community.okd.k8s_auth module, as that might do what you need.

validate_certs

aliases: verify_ssl

boolean

Whether or not to verify the API server’s SSL certificates. Can also be specified via K8S_AUTH_VERIFY_SSL environment variable.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

wait

boolean

When state=started, specify whether to wait for a build to complete and exit with a non-zero return code if the build fails.

When state=cancelled, specify whether to wait for a build phase to be Cancelled.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

wait_sleep

integer

Number of seconds to sleep between checks.

Ignored if wait=false.

Default: 5

wait_timeout

integer

How long in seconds to wait for a build to complete.

Ignored if wait=false.

Default: 120

Notes

Note

  • To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when validate_certs is True, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ca_cert or in the kubeconfig file.
