Setting environment variables for the deployer🔗

Some environments may have a need for special settings when running the deployer. Many of these such as the use of a proxy server for external communications can be configured using environment variables. You can create configuration map (ConfigMap) cloud-pak-deployer-env to set environment variables for the deployer jobs.

Create the environment ConfigMap for external connections via a proxy server🔗

  • Go to the OpenShift console
  • Click the "+" sign at the top of the page
  • Update the environment variables and/or add new ones
Set the entitlement key 
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: cloud-pak-deployer-env
  namespace: cloud-pak-deployer
data:
  http_proxy: http://192.168.217.111:31288
  https_proxy: http://192.168.217.111:3128
  no_proxy: kubernetes.default,.default,.cluster.local,.example.com,.svc,10.0.0.0/16,10.0.0.0/8,10.128.0.0/16,127.0.0.1,172.16.0.0/12,172.18.10.0/27,172.30.0.0/16,192.168.0.0/16,api-int.cpd.example.com,localhost

Warning

Please ensure that you specify the correct proxy server and also include the servers that must not be connected via the proxy server. The OpenShift-internal host names such as kubernetes.default and IP addresses such as 172.30.0.0/16 must always be configured in no_proxy, otherwise the installation of services will not work.

Create environment variable to run deployer with dry-run🔗

  • Go to the OpenShift console
  • Click the "+" sign at the top of the page
  • Update the environment variables and/or add new ones
Set the entitlement key 
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: cloud-pak-deployer-env
  namespace: cloud-pak-deployer
data:
  CPD_DRY_RUN: true

For a full list of environment variables, open the debug pod and run /cloud-pak-deployer/cp-deploy.sh --help.
