Crossplane Support

[patrickleet]

Type of discussion.

I'm proposing an idea

Tell us more.

Crossplane is a project for Kubernetes that allows consumers to create resources, similar to Terraform, but via the Kubernetes control plane by installing versioned providers - such as provider-aws, or provider-gcp. Users can also created versioned packages of their own configs.

I'd like renovate to monitor these dependencies as well.

Everything is found on https://marketplace.upbound.io/

Here's an example Helm provider https://marketplace.upbound.io/providers/crossplane-contrib/provider-helm/

apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io/v1
kind: Provider
metadata:
  name: crossplane-provider-helm
spec:
  package: xpkg.upbound.io/crossplane-contrib/provider-helm:v0.14.0

And a configuration (https://marketplace.upbound.io/configurations/devops-toolkit/dot-application/v0.5.28)

apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io/v1
kind: Configuration
metadata:
  name: crossplane-app
spec:
  package: xpkg.upbound.io/devops-toolkit/dot-application:v0.3.9

Also, it'd be nice to get PRs for Helm releases created by Crossplane's provider-helm:

    - name: externalSecrets
      base:
        apiVersion: helm.crossplane.io/v1beta1
        kind: Release
        spec:
          rollbackLimit: 3
          forProvider:
            namespace: external-secrets
            chart:
              name: external-secrets
              repository: https://charts.external-secrets.io
              version: "0.8.1"
      patches:
        - fromFieldPath: spec.id
          toFieldPath: metadata.name
          transforms:
            - type: string
              string:
                fmt: "%s-external-secrets"
        - fromFieldPath: spec.id
          toFieldPath: spec.providerConfigRef.name

Is there a simple way to achieve this now?

Hi there,

You're asking us to support a new package manager. We need to know some basic information about this package manager first. Please copy/paste the new package manager questionnaire, and fill it out in full.

Once the questionnaire is filled out we'll decide if we want to support this new manager.

Good luck,

The Renovate team

The poster is asking the Crossplane maintainers to fill out our questionnaire here:

• Renovate support crossplane/crossplane#4117

@patrickleet We don't have a filled out questionnaire yet, do you want to answer the questions you know for sure, and leave the unknowns blank? That way we at least have some information.

If this may help as a temporary workaround, here is my renovate config using regexp manager to support crossplane providers CRs

 regexManagers: [
    {
      description: "patches crossplane provider package version  https://regex101.com/r/3ug5iv/3",
      fileMatch: [".*/provider.*\\.y[a]*ml$"],
      matchStrings: [
        "apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io\\/.*\\nkind: Provider\\n(.*\\n)+(.* package:[ ]*\"?)(?<depName>[a-z0-9\\.\\/\\-]*?):(?<currentValue>[a-z0-9\\.\\/\\-\\+]*?)\"?\\n"
      ],
      datasourceTemplate: "docker",
      versioningTemplate: "docker"
    },
]

We've also ended up using a few regexes so far

FYI: I've opened a PR to add support for Crossplane #25896

FYI: it was merged 🎉
