GitHub

To link the Edge Compute Stack host to GitHub, perform the following steps:

Procedure

1. Edit the ks.cfg file in the root of the VMware Edge Compute Stack Deployment Media.
2. Find the section that starts with the following:

   # -->8--
   # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   # Sample: Optional: Inject workload through gitops
   # Must provide:
   # - a k8s `Secret` for git repo access
   # - a flux `GitRepository` custom resource for git repo (also referring
   #   above Secret object)
   # - a flux `Kustomization` custom resource for applying yamls in above git
   #   repo into VMware Edge Cloud Orchestrator k8s cluster (referring to above GitRepository object)
   # Replace all strings with `replace-with-...` values in below yamls.
   # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    

   In Visual Studio Code, click Edit > Toggle Line Comment to show the sample workload that injects a workload directly.

3. Uncomment the lines starting with the following line: cat <<EOT > $KESWICK_FIRSTBOOT_DIR/03-flux_create.yaml and ending with EOT.
4. Change the replace-with-some-access-token entry with the access token you created and stored earlier. For example:
   password: ghp_PmiypzR5JGLA2V7u3AkGBJ2yWmH2nI45VRWx
5. Change the replace-with-some-username entry with your Git username. For example:
   username: alanrenouf
6. Change the replace-with-some-branch-name entry with your Git branch name. If you have not created a branch, this value is main, by default. For example:
   branch: main
7. Change the https://git.com/replace-with-some-username/replace-with-somereponame.git entry with your Git URL. You can find the URL by clicking the Code button in your Git repository and copying the HTTPs address. For example:
   url: https://github.com/alanrenouf/EdgeApp.git
8. Save the file.
