Email Alert

The email alert allows you to send an email when an image is updated.

Who to use

Require AlertConfig

The email alert requires an AlertConfig resource to be created.

Create an AlertConfig resource with the email alert.

Setting

The CRD schema for the AlertConfig resource is available on doc.crds.dev

1 - Create kubernetes secret

kubectl create secret generic email-secret \
    --from-literal=smtpHost=smtp.example.com\
    --from-literal=smtpPort=587 \
    --from-literal=smtpUsername=foo \
    --from-literal=smtpPassword=bar \
    --dry-run=client -o yaml > email-secret.yaml

kubectl apply -f email-secret.yaml

2 - Create AlertConfig

apiVersion: kimup.cloudavenue.io/v1alpha1
kind: AlertConfig
metadata:
  name: demo
spec:
    email:
        host: # Required (1)
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
            name: email-secret
            key: smtpHost
        port: # Optionnal (2)
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
            name: email-secret
            key: smtpPort
        username: # Optionnal (3)
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
            name: email-secret
            key: smtpUsername
        password: # Optionnal (4)
          valueFrom:
            secretKeyRef:
            name: email-secret
            key: smtpPassword
        fromAddress: noreply@bar.com
        toAddress: # Required (5)
          - foo@bar.com
          - bar@foo.com
        templateBody: |
          New dev version {{ .NewTag }} is available for {{ .ImageName }}.
        templateSubject: |
          New version available for {{ .ImageName }}

1. The host is the SMTP server host.
2. The port is the SMTP server port. Default value is 25.
3. The username is the SMTP server username.
4. The password is the SMTP server password.
5. The toAddress is the list of email addresses to send the alert.

3 - Create Image

In this example, if a dev version is detected, an alert will be sent to the email address and the new image tag will be applied.

apiVersion: kimup.cloudavenue.io/v1alpha1
kind: Image
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: kustomize
  name: demo
spec:
  image: registry.127.0.0.1.nip.io/demo
  baseTag: v0.0.4
  triggers:
    - [...]
  rules:
    - name: Automatic apply on dev version
      type: regex
      # Match v1.2.3-dev1 version
      value: "^v?[0-9].[0-9].[0-9]-dev[0-9]$"
      actions:
        - type: alert-email
          data:
            valueFrom:
              alertConfigRef: # (1)
                name: demo
        - type: apply

1. The alertConfigRef field allows you to reference the AlertConfig resource in the same namespace.
