Swagger UI kubernetes controller

This controller manages deployments of swagger-ui. The controller can lookup SwaggerDefinition references and hook them up with a SwaggerHub. Each SwaggerHub is a manager swagger ui deployment which includes the related swagger definitions.

This approach is great for microservices which have their own OpenAPI specs but a unified swagger-ui view is wanted.

Example

apiVersion: swagger.infra.doodle.com/v1beta1
kind: SwaggerHub
metadata:
  name: default
spec:
  definitionSelector:
    matchLabels: {}

If no definition selector on the hub is configured no definitions will be included. matchLabels: {} will include all of them in the same namespace as the hub. By using match labels or expressions it can be configured what definitions should be included in the hub.

Similar to the definitionSelector it is possible to match definitions cross namespace by using spec.namespaceSelector. By default a SwaggerHub only looks up definitions from the same namespace as the hub but with a namespace selector this behaviour can be changed. Using matchLabels: {} will lookup definitions across all namespaces.

apiVersion: swagger.infra.doodle.com/v1beta1
kind: SwaggerDefinition
metadata:
  name: microservice-a
  namespace: default
spec:
  url: https://microservice-a/openapispecs/v1
---
apiVersion: swagger.infra.doodle.com/v1beta1
kind: SwaggerDefinition
metadata:
  name: microservice-b
  namespace: default
spec:
  url: https://microservice-b/swagger-specs

Beta API notice

For v0.x releases and beta api we try not to break the API specs. However in rare cases backports happen to fix major issues.

Deployment template

It is possible to define a custom swagger-ui deployment template which the controller will use to spin up the managed deployment. In the following example the deployment receives an additional container called mysidecar. Also resources are declared for the swagger-ui container.

Note: The swagger-ui container is always called swagger-ui. It is possible to patch that container by using said name as in the example bellow.

apiVersion: swagger.infra.doodle.com/v1beta1
kind: SwaggerHub
metadata:
  name: default
spec:
  definitionSelector:
    matchLabels: {}
  deploymentTemplate:
    spec:
      template:
        replicas: 3
        spec:
          containers:
          - name: swagger-ui
            resources:
              requests:
                memory: 256Mi
                cpu: 50m
              limits:
                memory: 512Mi
          - name: random-sidecar
            image: mysidecar

Suspend/Resume reconciliation

The reconciliation can be paused by setting spec.suspend to true:

kubectl patch swaggerhub default-p '{"spec":{"suspend": true}}' --type=merge

Observe KeycloakRealm reconciliation

A SwaggerHub will have all discovered resources populated in .status.subResourceCatalog. Also there are two conditions which are useful for observing Ready and a temporary one named Reconciling as long as a reconciliation is in progress.

Installation

Helm

Please see chart/swagger-hub-controller for the helm chart docs.

Manifests/kustomize

Alternatively you may get the bundled manifests in each release to deploy it using kustomize or use them directly.

Configuration

The controller can be configured using cmd args:

--concurrent int                            The number of concurrent SwaggerHub reconciles. (default 4)
--enable-leader-election                    Enable leader election for controller manager. Enabling this will ensure there is only one active controller manager.
--graceful-shutdown-timeout duration        The duration given to the reconciler to finish before forcibly stopping. (default 10m0s)
--health-addr string                        The address the health endpoint binds to. (default ":9557")
--insecure-kubeconfig-exec                  Allow use of the user.exec section in kubeconfigs provided for remote apply.
--insecure-kubeconfig-tls                   Allow that kubeconfigs provided for remote apply can disable TLS verification.
--kube-api-burst int                        The maximum burst queries-per-second of requests sent to the Kubernetes API. (default 300)
--kube-api-qps float32                      The maximum queries-per-second of requests sent to the Kubernetes API. (default 50)
--leader-election-lease-duration duration   Interval at which non-leader candidates will wait to force acquire leadership (duration string). (default 35s)
--leader-election-release-on-cancel         Defines if the leader should step down voluntarily on controller manager shutdown. (default true)
--leader-election-renew-deadline duration   Duration that the leading controller manager will retry refreshing leadership before giving up (duration string). (default 30s)
--leader-election-retry-period duration     Duration the LeaderElector clients should wait between tries of actions (duration string). (default 5s)
--log-encoding string                       Log encoding format. Can be 'json' or 'console'. (default "json")
--log-level string                          Log verbosity level. Can be one of 'trace', 'debug', 'info', 'error'. (default "info")
--max-retry-delay duration                  The maximum amount of time for which an object being reconciled will have to wait before a retry. (default 15m0s)
--metrics-addr string                       The address the metric endpoint binds to. (default ":9556")
--min-retry-delay duration                  The minimum amount of time for which an object being reconciled will have to wait before a retry. (default 750ms)
--watch-all-namespaces                      Watch for resources in all namespaces, if set to false it will only watch the runtime namespace. (default true)
--watch-label-selector string               Watch for resources with matching labels e.g. 'sharding.fluxcd.io/shard=shard1'.
