Operator to sync Devolutions Server Credential Entry - Username / Password entries as Kubernetes Secrets

Description

This operator uses the defined custom resource DvlsSecret which manages its own Kubernetes Secret and will keep itself up to date at a defined interval (every minute by default). The Docker image can be found here.

Operator configuration

The following Environment Variables can be used to configure the operator :

  • DEVO_OPERATOR_DVLS_BASEURI (required) - DVLS instance base URI
  • DEVO_OPERATOR_DVLS_APPID (required) - DVLS Application ID
  • DEVO_OPERATOR_DVLS_APPSECRET (required) - DVLS Application Secret
  • DEVO_OPERATOR_REQUEUE_DURATION (optional) - Entry/Secret resync interval (default 60s). Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h".

A sample of the custom resource can be found here. The entry ID can be fetched by going in the entry properties, Advanced -> Session ID.

Devolutions Server configuration

We recommend creating an Application ID specifically to be used with the Operator that has minimal access to a vault that only contains the secrets to be synchronized.

Only Credential Entry - Username / Password entries are supported at the moment. The following entry data is available per secret :

  • entry name
  • username
  • password

Kubernetes configuration

Since this operator uses Kubernetes Secrets, it is recommended that you follow best practices surrounding secrets, especially encryption at rest.

Getting Started

You’ll need a Kubernetes cluster to run against. You can use KIND to get a local cluster for testing, or run against a remote cluster. Note: Your controller will automatically use the current context in your kubeconfig file (i.e. whatever cluster kubectl cluster-info shows).

Helm Chart

An Helm Chart is available to simplify installation, just add our helm chart repository, create a values.yaml from the default values as a baseline and update values as necessary. Run helm install and add your values.yaml. The following values should be updated from your values.yaml

  • controllerManager.manager.env.devoOperatorDvlsBaseuri
  • controllerManager.manager.env.devoOperatorDvlsAppid
  • instanceSecret.secret
helm repo add devolutions-helm-charts https://devolutions.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update
helm install dvls-kubernetes-operator devolutions-helm-charts/dvls-kubernetes-operator --values values.yaml

Running on the cluster

  1. Install Instances of Custom Resources:
kubectl apply -f config/samples/
  1. Build and push your image to the location specified by IMG:
make docker-build docker-push IMG=<some-registry>/dvls-kubernetes-operator:tag
  1. Deploy the controller to the cluster with the image specified by IMG:
make deploy IMG=<some-registry>/dvls-kubernetes-operator:tag

Uninstall CRDs

To delete the CRDs from the cluster:

make uninstall

Undeploy controller

UnDeploy the controller to the cluster:

make undeploy

Contributing

How it works

This project aims to follow the Kubernetes Operator pattern

It uses Controllers which provides a reconcile function responsible for synchronizing resources untile the desired state is reached on the cluster

Test It Out

  1. Install the CRDs into the cluster:
make install
  1. Run your controller (this will run in the foreground, so switch to a new terminal if you want to leave it running):
make run

NOTE: You can also run this in one step by running: make install run

Modifying the API definitions

If you are editing the API definitions, generate the manifests such as CRs or CRDs using:

make manifests

NOTE: Run make --help for more information on all potential make targets
