Building and Installing the Crossplane IBM Cloud Provider

provider-ibm-cloud is composed of a golang project and can be built directly with standard golang tools. We currently support two different platforms for building:

  • Linux: most modern distros should work although most testing has been done on Ubuntu
  • Mac: macOS 10.6+ is supported

Build Requirements

An Intel-based machine (recommend 2+ cores, 2+ GB of memory and 128GB of SSD). Inside your build environment (Docker for Mac or a VM), 6+ GB memory is also recommended.

The following tools are need on the host:

  • curl
  • docker (1.12+) or Docker for Mac (17+)
  • git
  • make
  • golang
  • rsync (if you're using the build container on mac)
  • helm (v2.8.2+)
  • kubebuilder (v1.0.4+)

Build

You can build the Crossplane IBM Cloud Provider for the host platform by simply running the command below. Building in parallel with the -j option is recommended.

make -j4

The first time make is run, the build submodule will be synced and updated. After initial setup, it can be updated by running make submodules.

Run make help for more options.

Building inside the cross container

Official Crossplane builds are done inside a build container. This ensures that we get a consistent build, test and release environment. To run the build inside the cross container run:

> build/run make -j4

The first run of build/run will build the container itself and could take a few minutes to complete, but subsequent builds should go much faster.
