This section describes how to manage the Image Builder.

After installing the "Image Builder" extension, the Image Builder menu will appear in the left navigation pane of the workspace.

You can use the Image Builder to build container images from source code or binary executables (S2I & B2I), push the images to a specified image service, and finally deploy them to Kubernetes.

Note

Only the docker runtime is supported for building images, meaning docker must be installed on the node.

Configuration

Before Creating an Image Builder Using an Artifact, you must configure a read-write S3 Bucket in the Image Builder extension configuration to store binary files.

Example (replace with actual information):

backend:
  kubesphereConfig:
    s3:
      endpoint: "<endpoint>"
      region: "<region>"
      disableSSL: false
      forcePathStyle: true
      accessKeyID: "<access-key>"
      secretAccessKey: "<secret-key>"
      bucket: "<bucket>"
      sessionToken: ""

After the configuration is complete and the extension is updated, you need to restart s2iapiserver for the changes to take effect.

kubectl -n extension-s2ibuilder rollout restart deploy s2iapiserver
