kustomize-variable-injector

Plugin for kustomize to allow to expand placeholders with values. The initial use case is to make domain names in ingresses configurable.

Syntax

• host: sub.${DOMAIN} replace with value DOMAIN or fail if value is missing
• host: sub.${DOMAIN:-fallback.com} replace with value DOMAIN or fall back to "fallback.com" if missing
• port: ${REDIS_PORT:number:-6379} replace with value REDIS_PORT, inject as number (not as string) and fall back to 6379 if missing

Usage

# ingress.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: ingress
spec:
  rules:
    - host: "sub.${DOMAIN:-domain.com}"

Caveats

Plugins are still in alpha. For this to work, you need to provide the --enable-alpha-plugins flag (i.e. kustomize build --enable-alpha-plugins).
