Duct Tape Resource

Custom Concourse Resource to work as duct tape, meaning it can quickly bring things together that have no native or custom resource.

Source Configuration

• id: Optional Use a custom identifier, if none is specified, ref is used as the default.

• check: Required The configuration to define what happens for check.

  • env: Optional List of key/value pairs that are set as environment variables in the context of the commands.
  • before: Optional Command to be executed before the run command. Any output of this command will redirected to StdErr.
  • run: Required Command to be executed.

• in: Required The configuration to define what happens for in.

  • env: Optional List of key/value pairs that are set as environment variables in the context of the commands.
  • before: Optional Command to be executed before the run command. Any output of this command will redirected to StdErr.
  • run: Optional Command to be executed. If undefined, it is considered a no-op.

• out: Required The configuration to define what happens for out.

  • env: Optional List of key/value pairs that are set as environment variables in the context of the commands.
  • before: Optional Command to be executed before the run command. Any output of this command will redirected to StdErr.
  • run: Optional Command to be executed. If undefined, it is considered a no-op.

Example

The following sample shows the main fields that can be used. For example, to define a generic check based on inline shell script, use env section to feed in variables (i.e. secrets) to the shell script. The code in before is only executed once for the resource. With each iteration of the Concourse check, the run section is executed.

resources:
- name: foobar
  type: duct-tape-resource
  icon: application-variable
  check_every: 20m
  source:
    check:
      env:
        FOO: ((bar))
        SOME: variable
      before: |
        #!/bin/bash

        echo "run something once before the checks"

      run: |
        #!/bin/bash
        
        date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M

Behavior

check: Run custom check

When Concourse runs the check of the resource, the run section of the resource configuration will be executed. Each line of the output will treated as a value for the resource result JSON. For example, if the check run code prints something to StdOut, the output JSON will be [{"ref": "something"}], with ref being the default identifier used if none is explicitly provided.

in: No-op

No-op.

out: No-op

No-op.
