werf-actions/build

___

The action combines all the necessary steps in itself and logic may be divided into environment setup and launching werf build.

Action in Details

werf binary setup

By default, all actions setup actual werf version for 1.1 alpha channel (more details about channels, werf release cycle and compatibility promise here). Using the channel input the user can switch the release channel.

This is recommended approach to be up-to-date and to use actual werf version without changing configurations

- uses: werf/actions/build@v1.2
  with:
    channel: alpha

Withal, it is not necessary to work within release channels, and the user might specify certain werf version with version input.

- uses: werf/actions/build@v1.2
  with:
    version: v1.2.9

kubeconfig setup (optional)

The kubeconfig may be used for deployment, cleanup, distributed locks and caches. Thus, the configuration should be added before step with the action or passed as base64 encoded data with kube-config-base64-data input:

• Prepare kubeconfig (e.g. cat ~/.kube/config | base64) and save in GitHub Project Secrets (e.g. with name KUBE_CONFIG_BASE64_DATA).

• Pass secret with kube-config-base64-data input:

  - uses: werf/actions/build@v1.2
    with:
      kube-config-base64-data: ${{ secrets.KUBE_CONFIG_BASE64_DATA }}
  

werf ci-env

This command performs docker login using github-token, sets up predefined variables based on GitHub Workflow context.

Note that github-token is optional in this action, and the input is there in case you need to use a non-default token.

By default, action will use the token provided to your workflow.

Working with werf options

Any werf option can be defined with environment variables:

- uses: werf/actions/build@v1.2
  env:
    WERF_LOG_VERBOSE: "on"
