  2. A working garm installation.

Installation

garm-provider-k8s

We are releasing the garm-provider-k8s as a simple go binary. You can find the latest release here. Adjust your existing garm config, so garm can register to provider plugin at runtime. Make sure garm has access to the binary and provider specific config path like so:

[[provider]]
name = "kubernetes_external"
description = "kubernetes provider"
provider_type = "external"
[provider.external]
config_file = "/path/to/garm-provider-k8s-config.yaml"
provider_executable = "/path/to/provider/binary/garm-provider-k8s"
environment_variables = ["KUBERNETES_"] # this must be set if the runner-pods should run in the same cluster as garm itself is running and the attached serviceaccount should be used to create pods and the runner namespace

The provider specific config file should look like this:

kubeConfigPath: "" # path to a kubernetes config file - if empty the in cluster config will be used
runnerNamespace: "runner" # namespace to create the runner pods in
containerRegistry: "localhost:5000" # container registy to pull the runner image from
podTemplate: # pod template to use for the runner pods / helpful to add sidecar containers
  spec:
    volumes:
      - name: my-additional-volume
        emptyDir: {}
flavors: # configure different flavors which will be set as `ResourceRequirements` at runner container and can be targeted from a pool via its `flavor` property
