flux bootstrap gitlab

flux bootstrap gitlab

Deploy Flux on a cluster connected to a GitLab repository

Synopsis

The bootstrap gitlab command creates the GitLab repository if it doesn’t exists and commits the Flux manifests to the specified branch. Then it configures the target cluster to synchronize with that repository. If the Flux components are present on the cluster, the bootstrap command will perform an upgrade if needed.

flux bootstrap gitlab [flags]

Examples

  # Create a GitLab API token and export it as an env var
  export GITLAB_TOKEN=<my-token>

  # Run bootstrap for a private repository using HTTPS token authentication
  flux bootstrap gitlab --owner=<group> --repository=<repository name> --token-auth

  # Run bootstrap for a private repository using SSH authentication
  flux bootstrap gitlab --owner=<group> --repository=<repository name>

  # Run bootstrap for a repository path
  flux bootstrap gitlab --owner=<group> --repository=<repository name> --path=dev-cluster

  # Run bootstrap for a public repository on a personal account
  flux bootstrap gitlab --owner=<user> --repository=<repository name> --private=false --personal --token-auth

  # Run bootstrap for a private repository hosted on a GitLab server
  flux bootstrap gitlab --owner=<group> --repository=<repository name> --hostname=<domain> --token-auth

  # Run bootstrap for a an existing repository with a branch named main
  flux bootstrap gitlab --owner=<organization> --repository=<repository name> --branch=main --token-auth
