# fluxctl-action

[![e2e](https://github.com/fluxcd/fluxctl-action/workflows/e2e/badge.svg)](https://github.com/fluxcd/fluxctl-action/actions)

A GitHub Action to run fluxctl [commands](https://docs.fluxcd.io/en/latest/references/fluxctl/).

## Usage

In order to use fluxctl in GitHub Actions you have to install kubectl on the GitHub Action runner and

setup the current context to a Kubernetes cluster where Flux is running.

```yaml

name: Synchronize cluster

on: push

jobs:

  fluxctl:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - uses: azure/setup-kubectl@v1

      - uses: azure/k8s-set-context@v1

        with:

          method: kubeconfig

          kubeconfig: 

      - name: Setup fluxctl

        uses: fluxcd/fluxctl-action@master

      - name: Synchronize cluster

        env:

          FLUX_FORWARD_NAMESPACE: flux

        run: fluxctl sync

```

## Kubernetes Kind

You can use the fluxctl GitHub Action together with Kubernetes Kind to build an end-to-end testing pipeline 

for the git repository that defines your cluster desired state.

```yaml

name: e2e

on: push

jobs:

  fluxctl:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

      - name: Checkout

        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Setup Kubernetes

        uses: engineerd/[email protected]

      - name: Setup fluxctl

        uses: fluxcd/fluxctl-action@master

      - name: Install Flux

        run: |

          kubectl create ns flux

          fluxctl install \

          --git-path=test \

          --git-branch=${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/} \

          --git-readonly=true \

          --registry-disable-scanning=true \

          [email protected] \

          --git-url=https://github.com/fluxcd/fluxctl-action.git \

          --namespace=flux | kubectl apply -f -

      - name: Verify install

        run: kubectl -n flux rollout status deploy/flux --timeout=1m

      - name: Sync git with cluster

        env:

          FLUX_FORWARD_NAMESPACE: flux

        run: fluxctl sync

      - name: Verify sync

        run: kubectl get ns | grep test

```

Note that we set `--git-branch=${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}` so that Flux will sync the current branch. 

If the git repository is not public, then you have to configure Flux with a

[personal access token](https://docs.fluxcd.io/en/latest/guides/use-git-https/)

so that it can synchronize the repo over HTTPS.
