This topic tells you how to install Source Controller from the Tanzu Application Platform (commonly known as TAP) package repository.

Note
Follow the steps in this topic if you do not want to use a profile to install Source Controller. For more information about profiles, see Components and installation profiles.

Prerequisites

Before installing Source Controller:

Complete all prerequisites to install Tanzu Application Platform. For more information, see Prerequisites.
Install cert-manager on the cluster. For more information, see Install cert-manager.

Install

To install Source Controller:

List version information for the package by running:

tanzu package available list controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com --namespace tap-install

For example:

$ tanzu package available list controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com --namespace tap-install
- Retrieving package versions for controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com...
  NAME                                     VERSION  RELEASED-AT
  controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com  0.3.1    2022-01-23 19:00:00 -0500 -05
  controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com  0.3.2    2022-02-21 19:00:00 -0500 -05
  controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com  0.3.3    2022-03-03 19:00:00 -0500 -05
  controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com  0.4.1    2022-06-09 19:00:00 -0500 -05
  controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com  0.9.0    2024-03-19 00:00:00 -0500 -05

(Optional) Gather the values schema:

tanzu package available get controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com/VERSION-NUMBER --values-schema --namespace tap-install

Where VERSION-NUMBER is the version of the package listed in step 1 above.

For example:

tanzu package available get controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com/0.9.0-build.2 --values-schema --namespace tap-install

  KEY               DEFAULT  TYPE    DESCRIPTION
  resources                          Optional: Tanzu Source Controller resource limit configuration
  aws_iam_role_arn  ""       string  Optional: Arn role that has access to pull images from ECR container registry
  ca_cert_data      ""       string  Optional: PEM Encoded certificate data for image registries with private CA.

(Optional) Create a file named source-controller-values.yaml to override the default installation settings. You can configure the following fields:
- ca_cert_data: Enables Source Controller to connect to image registries that use self-signed or private certificate authorities. If a certificate error x509: certificate signed by unknown authority occurs, use this option to trust additional certificate authorities.
  
  To provide a custom certificate, add the PEM-encoded CA certificate data to source-controller-values.yaml. For example:
```
ca_cert_data: |
    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    MIICpTCCAYUCBgkqhkiG9w0BBQ0wMzAbBgkqhkiG9w0BBQwwDgQIYg9x6gkCAggA
    ...
    9TlA7A4FFpQqbhAuAVH6KQ8WMZIrVxJSQ03c9lKVkI62wQ==
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
```
- aws_iam_role_arn: Annotates the Source Controller service with an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role. This allows Source Controller to pull images from Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR).
  
  To add the AWS IAM role Amazon Resource Name (ARN) to the Source Controller service, add the ARN to source-controller-values.yaml. For example:
```
aws_iam_role_arn: "eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn: arn:aws:iam::112233445566:role/source-controller-manager"
```
- resources: Allows you to update the default resource configuration for the Source Controller. By default, the Source Controller resource configuration is set as follows:
```
resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 100m
    memory: 512Mi
  requests:
    cpu: 100m
    memory: 20Mi
```
  To update the default resource configuration, add the configuration you require to source-controller-values.yaml. For example:
```
resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 100m
    memory: 1Gi
```

Install the package by running:

tanzu package install source-controller \
  --package controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com \
  --version VERSION-NUMBER \
  --namespace tap-install \
  --values-file VALUES-FILE

Where:

VERSION-NUMBER is the version of the package listed in step 1 above.
VALUES-FILE is the path to the file created in step 3.

For example:

$ tanzu package install source-controller
    --package controller.source.apps.tanzu.vmware.com
    --version 0.9.0-build.2
    --namespace tap-install
    --values-file source-controller-values.yaml
