The source-controller is a Kubernetes operator, specialised in artifacts acquisition from external sources such as Git, OCI, Helm repositories and S3-compatible buckets. The source-controller implements the source.toolkit.fluxcd.io API and is a core component of the GitOps toolkit.
| Kind | API Version |
|---|---|
| GitRepository | source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1 |
| OCIRepository | source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1 |
| HelmRepository | source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1 |
| HelmChart | source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1 |
| Bucket | source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1 |
| ExternalArtifact | source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1 |
- authenticates to sources (SSH, user/password, API token, Workload Identity)
- validates source authenticity (PGP, Cosign, Notation)
- detects source changes based on update policies (semver)
- fetches resources on-demand and on-a-schedule
- packages the fetched resources into a well-known format (tar.gz, yaml)
- makes the artifacts addressable by their source identifier (sha, version, ts)
- makes the artifacts available in-cluster to interested 3rd parties
- notifies interested 3rd parties of source changes and availability (status conditions, events, hooks)
- reacts to Git, Helm and OCI artifacts push events (via notification-controller)
- Get started with Flux
- Setup Webhook Receivers
- Setup Notifications
- How to build, publish and consume OCI Artifacts with Flux
