Build

The following steps layout the process of building quarks-operator (formerly cf-operator) from source and how to install it in your Kubernetes cluster.

Build it from source

Follow this steps to build a proper docker image and generate a deployable helm chart:

1. Checkout the latest stable release / or run it from develop branch

   1	git checkout v0.3.0

2. Download the shared tools

   1

   bin/tools

3. Build the quarks-operator binary, this will be embedded later on the docker image

   1

   bin/build

4. Build the docker image

   When running in minikube, please run: eval $(minikube docker-env), to build the image directly on minikube docker.

   1	bin/build-image

   Note: This will automatically generate a docker image tag based on your current commit, tag and SHA.

5. Generated helm charts with a proper docker image tag, org and repository

   1	bin/build-helm

   Note: This will generate a new directory under the base dir, named helm/

6. Install the helm chart(apply Kubernetes Custom Resources)

   1	helm install cf-operator-test helm/quarks-operator

   Note: The quarks-operator will be available under the namespace set in the context, usually default, running as a pod.
