action-setup-kube-tools

A GitHub Action that setup Kubernetes tools (kubectl, kustomize, helm, kubeconform, conftest, yq, rancher, tilt, skaffold, kube-score) and cache them on the runner. It is like a typescript version of stefanprodan/kube-tools with no command input param, but as compared with it, it's very fast as it installs the tools asynchronously.

Usage

Inputs

Parameter Required Default Value Description
fail-fast false true the action immediately fails when it fails to download (ie. due to a bad version)
arch-type false amd64 The processor architecture type of the tool binary to setup. Supported types are only amd64 and arm64. If a type other than the supported Types is specified, it will be treated as amd64.
setup-tools false "" List of tool name to setup. By default, the action download and setup all supported Kubernetes tools. By specifying setup-tools you can choose which tools the action setup. Supported separator is return in multi-line string. Supported tools are kubectl, kustomize, helm, helmv3, kubeval, conftest, yq, rancher, tilt, skaffold, kube-score
kubectl false 1.24.10 kubectl version. kubectl vesion can be found here
kustomize false 5.0.0 kustomize version. kustomize vesion can be found here
helm false 3.11.1 helm version. helm vesion can be found here
kubeval false 0.16.1 kubeval version (must be 0.16.1+). kubeval vesion can be found here.
NOTE: this parameter is deprecating as kubeval is no longer maintained. A good replacement is kubeconform. See also this for more details.
kubeconform false 0.5.0 kubeconform version. kubeconform vesion can be found here
conftest false 0.39.0 conftest version. conftest vesion can be found here

Sample Workflow

Specific versions for the commands can be setup by adding inputs parameters like this:

  test: 
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: yokawasa/[email protected]
      with:
        kubectl: '1.25'
        kustomize: '5.0.0'
        helm: '3.11.1'
        kubeconform: '0.5.0'
        conftest: '0.39.0'
        rancher: '2.7.0'
        tilt: '0.31.2'
        skaffold: '2.1.0'
        kube-score: '1.16.1'
    - run: |
        kubectl version --client
        kustomize version
        helm version
        kubeconform -v
        conftest --version
        yq --version
        rancher --version
        tilt version
        skaffold version
        kube-score version

Default versions for the commands will be setup if you don't give any inputs like this:

  test: 
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: yokawasa/[email protected]
    - run: |
        kubectl version --client
        kustomize version
        helm version
        kubeconform -v
        conftest --version
        yq --version
        rancher --version
        tilt version
        skaffold version
        kube-score version

By specifying setup-tools you can choose which tools the action setup. Supported separator is return in multi-line string like this

  test: 
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - uses: yokawasa/[email protected]
      with:
        setup-tools: |
          kubectl
          helm
          kustomize
          skaffold
        kubectl: '1.25'
        helm: '3.11.1'
        kustomize: '5.0.0'
        skaffold: '2.1.0'
    - run: |
        kubectl version --client
        kustomize version
        helm version
        skaffold version

By specifying arch-type you can choose the processor architecture type of the tool binary to setup. Supported types are only amd64(default) and arm64.

  test: 
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    - uses: yokawasa/[email protected]
      with:
        arch-type: 'arm64'
        setup-tools: |
          kubectl
          helm
          kustomize
          skaffold
        kubectl: '1.25'
        helm: '3.11.1'
        kustomize: '5.0.0'
        skaffold: '2.1.0'
    - run: |
        kubectl version --client
        kustomize version
        helm version
        skaffold version
