Kubernetes Init Container for applications needing OAuth2 credentials for wicked.haufe.io

This project implements a container which can be used to get client credentials (client id and secret) from a wicked.haufe.io instance running inside Kubernetes.

It will do the following things:

  1. Initialize the wicked SDK and check there's a Portal API instance to talk to
  2. Locate or create a machine user called auto-deploy; machine users are always administrators internally
  3. Locate or create a wicked application with the name APP_ID and the specified CLIENT_TYPE
  4. Locate or create a subscription to the API API_ID with the plan PLAN_ID
  5. Upsert (create or update) a secret inside Kubernetes in the namespace NAMESPACE with the name SECRET_NAME

The secret will contain two string keys, client_id and client_secret, which in turn can be used inside pod definitions to retrieve credentials to an application. This is how you can use credentials created in case you have an OAuth2 secured API:

# ....
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: your-container
        image: yourorg/your-container:latest
        env:
        # ...
        - name: CLIENT_ID
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: secret-name
              key: client_id
        - name: CLIENT_SECRET
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: secret-name
              key: client_secret

In case your API is secured by an API key, you will find the API Key in key: apikey:

# ....
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: your-container
        image: yourorg/your-container:latest
        env:
        # ...
        - name: API_KEY
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
              name: secret-name
              key: api_key

Usage

Use haufelexware/wicked.k8s-init:latest either as an Init Container, or as a Kubernetes Job, see also wicked-init.yml for an example.

Sample init container configuration

Pre Kubernetes 1.6 (<= 1.5):

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: myapp-pod
  labels:
    app: myapp
  annotations:
    pod.beta.kubernetes.io/init-containers: '[
        {
            "name": "wicked-init",
            "image": "haufelexware/wicked.k8s-init:latest",
            "env": [
                {
                    "name": "APP_ID",
                    "value": "wicked-app-id"
                },
                {
                    "name": "API_ID",
                    "value": "some-api"
                },
                {
                    "name": "PLAN_ID",
                    "value": "unlimited"
                },
                {
                    "name": "NAMESPACE",
                    "value": "default"
                },
                {
                    "name": "REDIRECT_URI",
                    "value": "https://uri.of.your.app.com/callback"
                },
                {
                    "name": "SECRET_NAME",
                    "value": "wicked-client-creds"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]'
spec:
  containers:
  - name: myapp-container
    image: busybox
    command: ['sh', '-c', 'echo The app is running! && sleep 3600']

Kubernetes 1.6 or later (recommended):

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: myapp-pod
  labels:
    app: myapp
spec:
  initContainers:
  - name: wicked-init
    images: haufelexware/wicked.k8s-init:latest
    env:
    - name: APP_ID
      value: wicked-app-id
    - name: API_ID
      value: some-api
    - name: PLAN_ID
      value: unlimited
    - name: CLIENT_TYPE
      value: confidential
    - name: NAMESPACE
      value: default
    - name: REDIRECT_URI
      value: "https://uri.of.your.app.com/callback"
    - name: SECRET_NAME
      value: wicked-client-creds
  containers:
  - name: myapp-container
    image: busybox
    command: ['sh', '-c', 'echo The app is running! && sleep 3600']

Parameters

Use the following environment variables when running the init container/job:

Env var Default Description
APP_ID app-id The application ID in the wicked portal to be created
API_ID api-id The API ID of the API to create a subscription for
PLAN_ID unlimited The plan ID to use for the subscription
CLIENT_TYPE public_spa The client type; one of public_spa, public_native or confidential
REDIRECT_URI -- The redirect URI of the application; to specify multiple redirect URIs, separate them with a pipe `
SECRET_NAME some-secret The name of the kubernetes secret to create (retrieve with kubectl get secret some-secret)
NAMESPACE default The Kubernetes namespace to create the secret for
PORTAL_API_URL http://portal-api:3001 If wicked runs in a different location, specify this env var; note that the portal API must be accessible directly via http!

The network connection to the Kubernetes API will be retrieved from the injected env vars KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST and KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT, using the token automatically stored in /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token.
