Jenkins X Octant Plugins
This repository contains plugins for Octant for working with Jenkins X
Install
Prerequisites
Octant should first be installed and added to your $PATH
.
Get the latest release from vmware-tanzu/octant
Install the plugin
Octant checks for extra plugins that live in ~/.config/octant/plugins
.
You can download the released plugin binaries here and move the octant-*
binaries to ~/.config/octant/plugins
Running
Run the UI via:
octant --browser-path="/#/jx/pipelines"
You should see on the left nav bar the Jenkins X Developer + Ops plugins appear near the bottom (2nd to last icons).
Running multiple Octants
You may connect to different clusters in different shells and open an octant for each cluster via:
octant --listener-addr=localhost:0
If you want to open a specific view try:
octant --listener-addr=localhost:0 --browser-path="/#/jx/pipelines-recent"
An octant will start along with a new browser window.
Developing octant-jx
octant-jx
is 100% go lang and has a pretty simple small code base - so we'd love contributions!
It should be easy to add or improve the UI to handle most use cases.
Building locally
To build the plugins use:
make octant
which will build the plugins, install then into ~/.config/octant/plugins
and then startup octant against the current k8s cluster.
You can run make tail
in another terminal to watch the console log of octant-jx
if you are developing a plugin.
Adding a new view
Its super easy to add new views of any kubernetes or custom resource you like.
A good example to copy/paste if you want to add a new view is the Repositories
