Github Action for Creating a Namespace in Okteto

You can use this action to create a namespace in Okteto as part of your automated development workflow.

Inputs

namespace

Required The name of the Okteto namespace to create.

members

The list of users that will have access to the namespace on Okteto. Separate them with a comma if you are using more than one. You can use either their Okteto username or their email.

The creator of the namespace will automatically have access to the namespace in Okteto.

log-level

Log level used. Supported values are: debug, info, warn, error. (defaults to warn)

Example usage

This example runs the context action and then activates a namespace.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

name: example

jobs:

  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    
    - uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        url: https://okteto.example.com
        token: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_TOKEN }}
    
    - name: "Create development environments namespace"
      uses: okteto/create-namespace@latest
      with:
        namespace: devenvs-cindylopez
        members: rberrelleza,pchico83

Advanced usage

Custom Certification Authorities or Self-signed certificates

You can specify a custom certificate authority or a self-signed certificate by setting the OKTETO_CA_CERT environment variable. When this variable is set, the action will install the certificate in the container, and then execute the action.

Use this option if you're using a private Certificate Authority or a self-signed certificate in your Okteto SH instance instance. We recommend that you store the certificate as an encrypted secret, and that you define the environment variable for the entire job, instead of doing it on every step.

# File: .github/workflows/workflow.yml
on: [push]

  devflow:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    env:
      OKTETO_CA_CERT: ${{ secrets.OKTETO_CA_CERT }}

    - uses: okteto/context@latest
      with:
        url: https://okteto.example.com
