Offline Requirements

During a recent Tanzu engagement, my customer wanted to make use of the VMware Tanzu Packages to extend the core functionalities of their existing Kubernetes clusters. As a requirement, an offline deployment of the Packages was raised, which in other words means, deployments from their own private container registry. The intention behind it is simple.

All of the Tanzu Packages shown in Table I below are provided by VMware. VMware is ensuring that the images for the Packages are stable, secure and compliant. But in order to deploy a Package, we need unristricted internet acceess to *.projects.registry.vmware.com. To bypass this “online” requirement, deploying the Packages from a private container registry like Harbor for example, is a typical use case for most clients.

Table I: List of User-Managed Packages

Function	Package Package	Repository
Certificate management	cert-manager	tanzu-standard
Container networking	multus-cni	tanzu-standard
Container registry	harbor	tanzu-standard
Ingress control	contour	tanzu-standard
Log forwarding	fluent-bit	tanzu-standard
Monitoring	grafana	tanzu-standard
Monitoring	prometheus	tanzu-standard
Service discovery	external-dns	tanzu-standard

Repository URL

Table column Repository, is the name of the package repository (tanzu-standard) which is configured by default in namespace tanzu-package-repo-global and which normally is configured to use URL projects.registry.vmware.com/tkg/packages/standard/repo.

By following the steps provided in this post, you will be able to deploy the kapp-controller as well as all Tanzu Packages from your own private registry onto your eagerly waiting Kubernetes clusters. We start with some prerequisites.

Prerequisites

We have to equip our shell with some additional CLI’s in order to proceed further.

Tanzu Cli

The tanzu CLI ships alongside a compatible version of the kubectl CLI. Download the CLI(s) from VMware’s Customer Connect portal.

If you are new to the topic, check out the official documentation to get even more details.

The compatible kubectl version can be downloaded via the provided link as well.

Just to have it mentioned - I used the alias k=kubectl actually for all my code examples in this post.

imgpkg

The Carvel tool imgpkg, pronounced “image package”, is a tool that allows you to store a set of arbitrary files as an OCI image and is also being used for e.g. deploying Tanzu Kubernetes Grid in Internet-restricted environments and when building your own machine images.

Create a new Project in Harbor

Create a new project/repository in your registry to which we can push (upload) the packages (images) to. I’ve created a new one called tanzu-packages in my Harbor registry.

/img/posts/202202_tanzu_packages_offline/rguske_post_empty_harbor_repo.png — Figure I: New Harbor Project

I’ve written a couple of blog posts covering e.g. the deployment using helm or Tanzu Mission Control Catalog as well as for configuring specific features of the Harbor container registry.

Download the Harbor Certificate

You can skip this section if you are using a different registry.

Please have the certificate of your registry by hand because we’ll need it a few times.

`pull` and `push` the Kapp-Controller Image

The first component which we make offline (offline == private registry) available is the kapp-controller in VMware’s own maintained version (v0.23.0_vmware.1).

kapp-controller

kapp-controller’s declarative APIs and layered approach enables you to build, deploy, and manage your own applications.

# pull the kapp-controller image locally first
docker pull projects.registry.vmware.com/tkg/kapp-controller:v0.23.0_vmware.1

# tag the kapp-controller image to be prepared for the image push
docker tag projects.registry.vmware.com/tkg/kapp-controller:v0.23.0_vmware.1 harbor.jarvis.tanzu/tanzu-packages/kapp-controller:v0.23.0_vmware.1

Install the Kapp-Controller

In order to install the kapp-controller to our Kubernetes cluster, a deployment manifest file has to be created first. Create a new file called e.g. kapp-controller.yaml and add the provided specifications from the docs.

Open the file and jump to line number 1278. By using vim for example, you can simply enable line numbers. Just enter :set numbers and jump to the line by executing :1278. Otherwise, simply search / for image: projects.

Replace the original repository and image with yours.

Making Packages offline available

Since our goal is to deploy Tanzu Packages from our private registry, we have to make the packages (images) offline available first. Downloading, bundling and uploading the packages can easily be performed with the following two imgpkg commands:

Registry Certificate

The registry certificate is needed to upload the image bundle (--registry-ca-cert-path=ca.crt).

1

# use the imgpkg copy command to download the packages and to pack them into a tarball
imgpkg copy -b projects.registry.vmware.com/tkg/packages/standard/repo:v1.4.0 --to-tar ~/Downloads/packages/packages.tar

# use the imgpkg copy command to `push` the content into your private container registry
imgpkg copy --tar packages.tar --to-repo harbor.jarvis.tanzu/tanzu-packages/tanzu-packages --registry-ca-cert-path=ca.crt --registry-username=admin --registry-password=$PASSWORD

Update the Kapp-Controller Configmap

Before we are able to announce the new repository to the kapp-controller (tanzu package repository add) we have to make the kapp-controller trust our private registry by providing the certificate. In order to make this happen, the kapp-controller configMap needs an update.

OTHERWISE you will quickly see this error message:

1
2


# delete the kapp-controller pod
k -n tkg-system delete pod kapp-controller-5fd59df9dd-xmvmj

Step 4: Add the URL, which is pointing to your private package repository and use the namespace tanzu-package-repo-global:

1
2


# add the offline package repository
tanzu package repository add tanzu-packages-offline --url harbor.jarvis.tanzu/tanzu-packages/tanzu-packages:v1.4.0 -n tanzu-package-repo-global

Different Namespace

If you choose a different namespace, the Packages will only be visible and deployable in that particular namespace.

Source: beyondelastic.com - Tanzu Packages Explained

❗ Don’t stop here ❗ Adding the certificate to the kapp-controller configMap is only half the way if your repository is not configured as Public (without authentication).

Create a Secret to Authenticate with your Registry

To let the kapp-controller authenticate with your private registry, you have to create a Kubernetes secret which in turn has to be referenced in the PackageRepository custom resource (CR).

Step 1: Create the Kubernetes secret:

1
2


# create a k8s docker-registry secret to authenticate with your registry
kubectl -n tanzu-package-repo-global create secret docker-registry harbor-creds --docker-server='harbor.jarvis.tanzu' --docker-username='admin' --docker-password='your-password' --docker-email='rguske@vmware.com'

# validate the creation of the secret
k get secrets -n tanzu-package-repo-global      
NAME                                                    TYPE                                  DATA   AGE

harbor-creds 

Step 2:

Adjust the PackageRepository CR accordingly to use the new secret and to ultimately authenticate with your registry:

Validate that the changes has taken effect and that the kapp-controller can successfully reconcile the repository. The status for the package repository should have changed from Reconcile failed: to Reconcile succeeded.

Deploy the Tanzu Package Cert-Manager

Now that we have our private repository configured, let’s try deploying a first Tanzu Package to our Kubernetes cluster. The cert-manager supports you to e.g. have self-signed certificates generated for further Tanzu Packages installations as well as to be kind of an issuer of your own provided certificates.

# list cert-manager package availability
tanzu package available list cert-manager.tanzu.vmware.com -n tanzu-package-repo-global

# check a specific cert-manager version
tanzu package available get cert-manager.tanzu.vmware.com/1.1.0+vmware.1-tkg.2 -n tanzu-package-repo-global

# install cert-manager version
tanzu package install cert-manager -p cert-manager.tanzu.vmware.com -v 1.1.0+vmware.1-tkg.2 -n tanzu-package-repo-global

The deployment process is going to notify you when the installation of the Tanzu Package has finished.

OPTIONAL: kapp-controller secret vs. configMap

Instead of making adjustments to the configMap of the kapp-controller, a creation of a Kubernetes secret can be used as an alternative. I validated both ways successfully. A more detailed description can be found on the official Carvel documentation here: Configuring the Controller

Here’s my example I’ve tested:
