Github Organization Resource

Provides a Concourse resource for Github Organizations. Used to create pipelines for org repos when deploying a webapp on the Analytical Platform

Resource configuration

These parameters go into the source fields of the resource type. Bold items are required:

Parameter	Description
access_token	Github access token
name	Name of the Github organization
concourse_url	Base URL of the Concourse API, eg: https://concourse.example.com
username	Concourse basic auth username
password	Concourse basic auth password
team_name	Concourse team name
cookie-secret	Secret used to encrypt deployed webapp session cookies
cluster-ca	Base64 encoded PEM
token	Bearer token for Kubernetes
skip_ssl_verification	Whether curl should verify SSL certificates. (Default false)

Behaviour

check: Fetch Organization versions

A version corresponds to the timestamp of the last push to any of the org's repositories.

in: Fetch Organization

Retrieves the Organization JSON object into the org file and a list of repositories in the repos file.

out: Create pipelines for any Org repos that want one

Creates pipelines for any repo for which their does not already exist a pipeline with the same name, and which contains a Jenkinsfile (for now).

Installation

This resource is not included with Concourse CI. You must integrate this resource in the resource_types section of your pipeline.

resource_types:
- name: github-org
  type: docker-image
  source:
    repository: quay.io.mojanalytics/github-org-resource
    tag: v0.1.3

resources:
- name: moj-analytical-services
  type: github-org
  source:
    name: moj-analytical-services
    access_token: ((github-access-token))
    concourse_url: ((concourse-url))
    username: ((concourse-username))
    password: ((concourse-password))
    team_name: ((concourse-team-name))
    cookie-secret: ((cookie-secret))
    cluster-ca: ((cluster-ca))
    token: ((token))

jobs:
- name: deploy
  plan:
  - get: moj-analytical-services
    trigger: true

Release process

Changing this resource is not enough to release it. A new release tag needs to be created and Concourse needs to be instructed to use it.

Here are the steps:

1. Create a GitHub release
2. Update the config (concourse-org-pipeline.yaml) to use this new version (example PR here)
3. Upgrade the helm release for the concourse-org-pipeline helm chart (see "Installing the Chart" section of README)

Once this above is done, newly created pipelines will use the new version of the pipeline templates.

NOTE: Existing pipelines are not affected. Generally manually delete a concourse pipeline (using fly destroy-pipeline) is safe as Concourse will automatically re-create a pipeline, and use the latest stable version of it.

If the pipeline change is just in one of the custom resource types' version (e.g. ecr-repo, pull-request, auth0-client, helm, kubernetes, etc...) there is now a way to set the version of a resource on all existing pipelines:

Here an example of how to invoke this script:

$ ./update-pipelines-resource-types.py --help
Usage: update-pipelines-resource-types.py [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -b, --fly-binary-path TEXT      path to the fly binary (the Concourse cli)
  -c, --concourse-url TEXT        URL of Concourse
  -t, --fly-target TEXT           Concourse's fly target name
  -n, --concourse-team-name TEXT  Concourse team where the pipelines to update
                                  are

  -r, --resource-name TEXT        Name of the custom resource to update. Note
                                  this is the name used in the pipelines (e.g.
                                  'auth0-client')  [required]

  -v, --resource-tag TEXT         New version/tag of the resource  [required]
  -d, --dry-run                   When true, will not update the upstream
                                  Concourse pipeline

  -i, --interactive               Run fly set-pipeline interactively
  --help                          Show this message and exit.

Let's say for example that you want to update all the pipelines to use concourse-auth0-resource v2.0.2.

First you need to find out what this resource is called in the pipeline, in this case if you check the webapp pipeline definition, in the resource_types section you'll see that this resource is instantiated with the name auth0-client, this will be the value you'll pass for the resource-name argument of the script.

This is the command you'd invoke (remove --dry-run when you want the script to update the upstream Concourse pipelines):

$ ./update-pipelines-resource-types.py --resource-name=auth0-client --resource-tag=v2.0.2 --dry-run
Fly binary path [/usr/local/bin/fly]:
Concourse url [https://concourse.services.dev.mojanalytics.xyz]:
Fly target [dev-main]:
Concourse team name [main]:
logging in to team 'main'

1: ap-main
2: Basic Auth
choose an auth method: 1

navigate to the following URL in your browser:

    https://concourse.services.dev.mojanalytics.xyz/auth/oauth?team_name=main&fly_local_port=59103

or enter token manually: target saved

NOTE: script requires Concourse's command line tool fly. Also be sure you install its dependency by running pip install -r requirements.dev.txt to be sure its Python dependencies are satisfied.
