cnbBuild

Executes Cloud Native Buildpacks.

Description

Executes a Cloud Native Buildpacks build for creating Docker image(s). Important: Please note, that the cnbBuild step is in beta state, and there could be breaking changes before we remove the beta notice.

Usage

We recommend to define values of step parameters via .pipeline/config.yml file.
In this case, calling the step is essentially reduced to defining the step name.
Calling the step can be done either in an orchestrator specific way (e.g. via a Jenkins library step) or on the command line.

JenkinsCommand Line

library('piper-lib-os')

cnbBuild script: this

piper cnbBuild

Outputs

Output type	Details
commonPipelineEnvironment	container/registryUrl container/imageDigest container/imageNameTag container/imageNames container/imageNameTags container/imageDigests custom/buildSettingsInfo

see Examples

Prerequisites

When pushing to a container registry, you need to maintain the respective credentials in your Jenkins credentials store:

cnbBuild expects a Docker config.json file containing the credential information for registries. You can create it like explained in the protocodeExecuteScan Prerequisites section.

Please copy this file and upload it to your Jenkins for example
via Jenkins -> Credentials -> System -> Global credentials (unrestricted) -> Add Credentials ->

• Kind: Secret file
• File: upload your config.json file
• ID: specify id which you then use for the configuration of dockerConfigJsonCredentialsId (see below)

bindings

Map of bindings that should be offered to the buildpack. The type of bindings depend on the buildpack. For documentation about bindings in general see the paketo documentation.

Example: Custom maven settings.xml for the Java Buildpack

bindings:
  maven-settings:
    type: maven
    data:
    - key: settings.xml
      file: path/to/settings.xml

inline:

bindings:
  maven-settings:
    type: maven
    data:
    - key: settings.xml
      content: "inline settings.xml"

from url:

bindings:
  maven-settings:
    type: maven
    data:
    - key: settings.xml
      fromUrl: https://url-to/setting.xml

using Vault general purpose credentials:

bindings:
  dynatrace:
    type: Dynatrace
    data:
    - key: api-token
      vaultCredentialKey: dynatrace-api-token
vaultCredentialPath: cnb-bindings
vaultCredentialKeys: ['dynatrace-api-token']

Deprecated: A binding with a single key, could be written like this:

bindings:
  maven-settings:
    type: maven
    key: settings.xml
    file: path/to/settings.xml

projectDescriptor

Relative path to the project.toml file. See buildpacks.io for the reference. Parameters passed to the cnbBuild step will take precedence over the parameters set in the project.toml file, except the env block. Environment variables declared in a project descriptor file, will be merged with the buildEnvVars property, with the buildEnvVars having a precedence.

Note: The project descriptor path should be relative to what is set in the path property. If the path property is pointing to a zip archive (e.g. jar file), project descriptor path will be relative to the root of the workspace.

Note: Inline buildpacks (see specification) are not supported yet.

script

Jenkins-specific: Used for proper environment setup.

    "$server": {
      "auth": "base64($username + ':' + $password)"

Additional hints

To run the cnbBuild with a different builder, you can specify the dockerImage parameter. Without specifying it, the step will run with the paketobuildpacks/builder:base builder.

Default Excludes

When building images, these files/folders are excluded from the build by default:

• Piper binary: piper
• Piper configuration folder: .pipeline
• Git folder: .git

This behavior can be overwritten by using the respective sections in project.toml. Keep in mind that by doing so, no default excludes will be applied by the cnbBuild step at all.

Examples

Example 1: simple usage

cnbBuild(
    script: this,
    dockerConfigJsonCredentialsId: 'DOCKER_REGISTRY_CREDS',
    containerImageName: 'images/example',
    containerImageTag: 'v0.0.1',
    containerRegistryUrl: 'gcr.io'
)

Example 2: User provided builder

cnbBuild(
    script: this,
    dockerConfigJsonCredentialsId: 'DOCKER_REGISTRY_CREDS',
    dockerImage: 'paketobuildpacks/builder:base',
    containerImageName: 'images/example',
    containerImageTag: 'v0.0.1',
    containerRegistryUrl: 'gcr.io'
)

Example 3: User provided buildpacks

cnbBuild(
    script: this,
    dockerConfigJsonCredentialsId: 'DOCKER_REGISTRY_CREDS',
    containerImageName: 'images/example',
    containerImageTag: 'v0.0.1',
    containerRegistryUrl: 'gcr.io',
    buildpacks: ['gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/nodejs', 'paketo-community/build-plan']
)

Example 4: Build environment variables

cnbBuild(
    script: this,
    dockerConfigJsonCredentialsId: 'DOCKER_REGISTRY_CREDS',
    containerImageName: 'images/example',
    containerImageTag: 'v0.0.1',
    containerRegistryUrl: 'gcr.io',
    buildEnvVars: [
        "FOO": "BAR"
    ]
)
