Pre-commit hooks

This is a WIP repository for a few planned pre-commit hooks. These are aimed to make life easier with using k8s in a gitops fashion.

Installing

To install, add the following to a file in the root of your repository .pre-commit-config.yaml, and run pre-commit install

A example below. This runs the kustomize_build pre-commit hook, only for folders in the k8s/ folder, with the optional 'dry-run' step in server mode.

  - repo: https://github.com/Truxnell/pre-commit
    rev: v0.0.9
    hooks:
      - id: kustomize_build
        files: ^k8s/
        args: [--dry-run=server]

This hook will then run each push.

Hooks

kustomize_build

This hook will scan each yaml file in the folder, and check if that folder has a valid kustomization file. If it finds one, it will run kustomize build . on that path to check the kustomization will build, with any changes you have made.

Note: This hook works best with the practice of having a kustomize in a folder, with its yaml in the same folder. The value of this hook diminishes if kustomize are calling in different folders, as this hook cannot calculate the multitute of links a kustomize could have.

This hook can optionally run kubectl dry-run on the resulting build kustomize, for additional vaidation. This can be run in two modes:

• --dry-run=client - A basic validation that the parsed YAML file(s) are valid against basic schema.
• --dry-run=server - A powerful validation that connects to your cluster and validates that the server could apply the file. This is increidbly powerful, as it will reject invalid namespaces,

Manual run / Run on entire repo

Pre-commit only checks changed files in the current commit. It can be beneficial to run on all files at times:

You can run

pre-commit run -a          # or --all-files

To run pre-commit on your entire repo with a single hook

pre-commit kustomize_build -a

Alternatively, to run a single

Pre-release

• kustomize-build - Ensure modified kustomize files render, and optionally validate with kubectl --dry-run

Planned

• helm-release-lint - Lint a helm release file with values in file
• kubeconform-lint - Lint each yaml with kubeconform
