Github Action for Activating a Namespace in Okteto

You can use this action to activate a namespace in Okteto, download the corresponding kubeconfig and set it as the current context.

Inputs

namespace

The namespace to activate. If empty, it will use your personal namespace.

Outputs

kubeconfig

The path to the generated kubeconfig file.

Example

This example runs the context action and then activates a namespace.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:

  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    
    - name: checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@master
    
    - uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        url: https://okteto.example.com
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
    
    - name: "Create development environments namespace"
      uses: okteto/namespace@latest
      with:
        namespace: devenvs-cindylopez

Advanced usage

Custom Certification Authorities or Self-signed certificates

You can specify a custom certificate authority or a self-signed certificate by setting the OKTETO_CA_CERT environment variable. When this variable is set, the action will install the certificate in the container, and then execute the action.

Use this option if you're using a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate in your Okteto SH instance. We recommend that you store the certificate as an encrypted secret, and that you define the environment variable for the entire job, instead of doing it on every step.
