External dependencies
This features allows kapitan to fetch files from online repositories/sources during compile and store in a particular target directory.
Author: @yoshi-1224
Specification
Specify the files to be fetched as follows:
parameters:
kapitan:
dependencies:
- type: git | http[s]
output_path: <output_path>
source: <git/http[s]_url>
The output path is the path to save the dependency into. For example, it could be /components/external/manifest.jsonnet. Then, the user can specify the fetched file as a kapitan.compile item along with the locally-created files.
Git type may also include ref and subdir parameters as illustrated below:
- type: git
output_path: <output_path>
source: <git_url>
subdir: relative/path/in/repository
ref: <commit_hash/branch/tag>
force_fetch: <bool>
If the file already exists at output_path, the fetch will be skipped. For fresh fetch of the dependencies, users may add --fetch option as follows:
kapitan compile --fetch
Users can also add the force_fetch: true option to the kapitan.dependencies in the inventory in order to force fetch of the dependencies of the target every time.
