provider-gitlab
is composed of a golang project and can be built directly with
standard golang
tools. We currently support two different platforms for
building:
- Linux: most modern distros should work although most testing has been done on Ubuntu
- Mac: macOS 10.6+ is supported
An Intel-based machine (recommend 2+ cores, 2+ GB of memory and 128GB of SSD). Inside your build environment (Docker for Mac or a VM), 6+ GB memory is also recommended.
The following tools are need on the host:
- curl
- docker (1.12+) or Docker for Mac (17+)
- git
- make
- golang
- rsync (if you're using the build container on mac)
- helm (v2.8.2+)
- kubebuilder (v1.0.4+)
You can build the Crossplane Gitlab Provider for the host platform by
simply running the command below. Building in parallel with the -j
option is
recommended.
make -j4
The first time make
is run, the build submodule will be synced and updated.
After initial setup, it can be updated by running make submodules
.
Run make help
for more options.
Official Crossplane builds are done inside a build container. This ensures that we get a consistent build, test and release environment. To run the build inside the cross container run:
> build/run make -j4
The first run of build/run
will build the container itself and could take a
few minutes to complete, but subsequent builds should go much faster.
