Install tekton and its dashboard on IBM Cloud

1. Install tekton 0.21.0

kubectl apply -f https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/pipeline/previous/v0.21.0/release.yaml

2. Install latest tekton dashboard

kubectl apply --filename https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/dashboard/latest/openshift-tekton-dashboard-release.yaml --validate=false

3. Expose the dashboard UI

kubectl patch svc tekton-dashboard -n tekton-pipelines -p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer"}}'

4. Access the dashboard by using the external IP (hostname) and port 9097

kubectl get svc tekton-dashboard -n tekton-pipelines

The external IP or hostname may take a bit of time to be available.

 

For tectoncd/pipeline development, to use ko, set the docker repo env to be the full path like below

export KO_DOCKER_REPO=registry.hub.docker.com/email4tong

 The short name no longer works.
