GitHub Action to create a DCI component in multiple topics.

In order to use this Action, a RemoteCI is required. Follow these steps to create one if one is not already created.

• Login into your account: https://www.distributed-ci.io/login
• Go to the RemoteCI section: https://www.distributed-ci.io/remotecis
• Click on "Create a new remoteci" button
  • Set a name
  • Select team owner
• Search your newly created RemoteCI
  • Click on the Authenticate "blue incognito button"
  • Copy on the button "Copy to clipboard"
• Save the content in a file

With the RemoteCI data create two secrets, any name can be used for the secrets, we will use the same for consistency:

• DCI_CLIENT_ID: Use the content of DCI_CLIENT_ID, e.g. remoteci/012345678-90ab-...
• DCI_API_SECRET: Use the content of DCI_API_SECRET, e.g. abcxyzABCXYZ01239...

Some Inputs are required, while others are optional.

Required:

• dciClientId: Remote CI client ID, this is passed as a secret.

• dciApiSecret: Remote CI API secret, this is passed as a secret.

• dciTopics: A comma separated list of DCI topics example:

  # Single topic
  dciTopics: OCP-4.12
  
  # Multiple topics
  dciTopics: 'OCP-4.11,OCP-4.12'
  
  # Multiple topics, multi-line
  dciTopics: '
  OCP-4.10,
  OCP-4.11,
  OCP-4.12,
  '
  
  # Other topics
  dciTopics: RHEL-9.2

• componentName: DCI component name, e.g. My Awesome Component or FredCo awesome operator or acme-component, etc.

• componentVersion: DCI component version, the version of the component to create, e.g. v1.2.3, 22.10, 9.2-rc1, v12.28.12-alpha, etc.

• componentRelease: DCI component release tag, must be one of the following: dev, candidate or ga.

Optional:

• dciCsUrl: Remote CI control server URL, default is https://api.distributed-ci.io/.

• componentTags: List of DCI component Tags, for example:

  # Single Tag
  componentTags: "arch:arm64"
  
  # Multiple Tags
  dciTags: "os:linux,arch:amd64"

• componentUrl: DCI component URL, requires an http(s) schema, e.g. https://my-site.com, https://github.com/my-org/my-repo

• componentData: DCI component data, a compact (one-liner) json entry, e.g. {"foo": "bar"}, {"uno":null,"dos":["tres",{"sub":{"on":true,"off":false}}]}

Here few examples on how to use this Action in your workflow as a step

Creating component My container application with version v1.2.3-alpha, and dev release. The component will be created only in OCP-4.12.

    steps:
      - name: Create DCI components
        uses: dci-labs/dci-component@v1.0.0
        with:
          dciClientId: ${{ secrets.DCI_CLIENT_ID }}
          dciApiSecret: ${{ secrets.DCI_API_SECRET }}
          dciTopics:
            - "OCP-4.12"
          componentName: "My container application"
          componentVersion: v1.2.3
          componentRelease: "dev"

Creating a component on multiple OCP topic versions with name my-operator and version 22.04, with a reference to its repository https://github.com/myorg/my-operator, with some custom tags, and the location of the image: {"imageURL": "quay.io/myorg/my-operator:22.04"}

    steps:
      - name: Create DCI components
        uses: dci-labs/dci-component@v1.0.0
        with:
          dciClientId: ${{ secrets.DCI_CLIENT_ID }}
          dciApiSecret: ${{ secrets.DCI_API_SECRET }}
          dciTopics: '
          OCP-4.8,
          OCP-4.9,
          OCP-4.10,
          OCP-4.11
          '
          componentName: my-operator
          componentVersion: "22.04"
          componentRelease: ga
          componentUrl: https://github.com/myorg/my-operator
          componentTags: "ansible-operator,os:linux,2022"
          componentData: {"imageURL": "quay.io/myorg/my-operator:22.04"}

The output of the component created is stored in components and can be re-used like this:

    steps:
      - name: Create DCI components
        uses: dci-labs/dci-component@v1.0.0
        with:
          dciClientId: ${{ secrets.DCI_CLIENT_ID }}
          dciApiSecret: ${{ secrets.DCI_API_SECRET }}
          dciTopics:
            - "OCP-4.12"
          componentName: "My container application"
          componentVersion: v1.2.3
          componentRelease: "dev"
        id: my_cmp

      - run: jq . <<<"${{ steps.my_cmp.outputs.components }}"
