Overview

A Build resource allows the user to define:

• source
• trigger
• strategy
• paramValues
• output
• timeout
• env
• retention
• volumes

A Build is available within a namespace.

Build Controller

The controller watches for:

• Updates on the Build resource (CRD instance)

When the controller reconciles it:

• Validates if the referenced Strategy exists.
• Validates if the specified paramValues exist on the referenced strategy parameters. It also validates if the paramValues names collide with the Shipwright reserved names.
• Validates if the container registry output secret exists.
• Validates if the referenced spec.source.git.url endpoint exists.

Build Validations

Note: reported validations in build status are deprecated, and will be removed in a future release.

To prevent users from triggering BuildRuns (execution of a Build) that will eventually fail because of wrong or missing dependencies or configuration settings, the Build controller will validate them in advance. If all validations are successful, users can expect a Succeeded status.reason. However, if any validations fail, users can rely on the status.reason and status.message fields to understand the root cause.

Status.Reason	Description
BuildStrategyNotFound	The referenced namespace-scope strategy doesn't exist.
ClusterBuildStrategyNotFound	The referenced cluster-scope strategy doesn't exist.
SetOwnerReferenceFailed	Setting ownerreferences between a Build and a BuildRun failed. This status is triggered when you set the spec.retention.atBuildDeletion to true in a Build.
SpecSourceSecretRefNotFound	The secret used to authenticate to git doesn't exist.
SpecOutputSecretRefNotFound	The secret used to authenticate to the container registry doesn't exist.
SpecBuilderSecretRefNotFound	The secret used to authenticate the container registry doesn't exist.
MultipleSecretRefNotFound	More than one secret is missing. At the moment, only three paths on a Build can specify a secret.
RestrictedParametersInUse	One or many defined paramValues are colliding with Shipwright reserved parameters. See Defining Params for more information.
UndefinedParameter	One or many defined paramValues are not defined in the referenced strategy. Please ensure that the strategy defines them under its spec.parameters list.
RemoteRepositoryUnreachable	The defined spec.source.git.url was not found. This validation only takes place for HTTP/HTTPS protocols.
BuildNameInvalid	The defined Build name (metadata.name) is invalid. The Build name should be a valid label value.
SpecEnvNameCanNotBeBlank	The name for a user-provided environment variable is blank.
SpecEnvValueCanNotBeBlank	The value for a user-provided environment variable is blank.
SpecEnvOnlyOneOfValueOrValueFromMustBeSpecified	Both value and valueFrom were specified, which are mutually exclusive.
RuntimePathsCanNotBeEmpty	The spec.runtime feature is used but the paths were not specified.
WrongParameterValueType	A single value was provided for an array parameter, or vice-versa.
InconsistentParameterValues	Parameter values have more than one of configMapValue, secretValue, or value set.
EmptyArrayItemParameterValues	Array parameters contain an item where none of configMapValue, secretValue, or value is set.
IncompleteConfigMapValueParameterValues	A configMapValue is specified where the name or the key is empty.
IncompleteSecretValueParameterValues	A secretValue is specified where the name or the key is empty.
VolumeDoesNotExist	Volume referenced by the Build does not exist, therefore Build cannot be run.
VolumeNotOverridable	Volume defined by build is not set as overridable in the strategy.
UndefinedVolume	Volume defined by build is not found in the strategy.
TriggerNameCanNotBeBlank	Trigger condition does not have a name.
TriggerInvalidType	Trigger type is invalid.
TriggerInvalidGitHubWebHook	Trigger type GitHub is invalid.
TriggerInvalidImage	Trigger type Image is invalid.
TriggerInvalidPipeline	Trigger type Pipeline is invalid.
OutputTimestampNotSupported	An unsupported output timestamp setting was used.
OutputTimestampNotValid	The output timestamp value is not valid.

Configuring a Build

The Build definition supports the following fields:

• Required:

  • apiVersion - Specifies the API version, for example shipwright.io/v1beta1.
  • kind - Specifies the Kind type, for example Build.
  • metadata - Metadata that identify the custom resource instance, especially the name of the Build, and in which namespace you place it. Note: You should use your own namespace, and not put your builds into the shipwright-build namespace where Shipwright's system components run.
  • spec.source - Refers to the location of the source code, for example a Git repository or OCI artifact image.
  • spec.strategy - Refers to the BuildStrategy to be used, see the examples
  • spec.output- Refers to the location where the generated image would be pushed.
  • spec.output.pushSecret- Reference an existing secret to get access to the container registry.

• Optional:

  • spec.paramValues - Refers to a name-value(s) list to specify values for parameters defined in the BuildStrategy.
  • spec.timeout - Defines a custom timeout. The value needs to be parsable by ParseDuration, for example, 5m. The default is ten minutes. You can overwrite the value in the BuildRun.
  • spec.output.annotations - Refers to a list of key/value that could be used to annotate the output image.
  • spec.output.labels - Refers to a list of key/value that could be used to label the output image.
  • spec.output.timestamp - Instruct the build to change the output image creation timestamp to the specified value. When omitted, the respective build strategy tool defines the output image timestamp.
    • Use string Zero to set the image timestamp to UNIX epoch timestamp zero.
    • Use string SourceTimestamp to set the image timestamp to the source timestamp, i.e. the timestamp of the Git commit that was used.
    • Use string BuildTimestamp to set the image timestamp to the timestamp of the build run.
    • Use any valid UNIX epoch seconds number as a string to set this as the image timestamp.
  • spec.output.vulnerabilityScan to enable a security vulnerability scan for your generated image. Further options in vulnerability scanning are defined here
  • spec.env - Specifies additional environment variables that should be passed to the build container. The available variables depend on the tool that is being used by the chosen build strategy.
  • spec.retention.atBuildDeletion - Defines if all related BuildRuns needs to be deleted when deleting the Build. The default is false.
  • spec.retention.ttlAfterFailed - Specifies the duration for which a failed buildrun can exist.
  • spec.retention.ttlAfterSucceeded - Specifies the duration for which a successful buildrun can exist.
  • spec.retention.failedLimit - Specifies the number of failed buildrun that can exist.
  • spec.retention.succeededLimit - Specifies the number of successful buildrun can exist.

Defining the Source

A Build resource can specify a source type, such as a Git repository or an OCI artifact, together with other parameters like:

• source.type - Specify the type of the data-source. Currently, the supported types are "Git", "OCIArtifact", and "Local".
• source.git.url - Specify the source location using a Git repository.
• source.git.cloneSecret - For private repositories or registries, the name references a secret in the namespace that contains the SSH private key or Docker access credentials, respectively.
• source.git.revision - A specific revision to select from the source repository, this can be a commit, tag or branch name. If not defined, it will fall back to the Git repository default branch.
• source.contextDir - For repositories where the source code is not located at the root folder, you can specify this path here.

By default, the Build controller does not validate that the Git repository exists. If the validation is desired, users can explicitly define the build.shipwright.io/verify.repository annotation with true. For example:

Example of a Build with the build.shipwright.io/verify.repository annotation to enable the spec.source.git.url validation.

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildah-golang-build
  annotations:
    build.shipwright.io/verify.repository: "true"
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
    contextDir: docker-build

Note: The Build controller only validates two scenarios. The first one is when the endpoint uses an http/https protocol. The second one is when an ssh protocol such as git@ has been defined but a referenced secret, such as source.git.cloneSecret, has not been provided.

Example of a Build with a source with credentials defined by the user.

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildpack-nodejs-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/sclorg/nodejs-ex
      cloneSecret: source-repository-credentials

Example of a Build with a source that specifies a specific subfolder on the repository.

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildah-custom-context-dockerfile
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/SaschaSchwarze0/npm-simple
    contextDir: renamed

Example of a Build that specifies the tag v0.1.0 for the git repository:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildah-golang-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
      revision: v0.1.0
    contextDir: docker-build

Example of a Build that specifies environment variables:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildah-golang-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
    contextDir: docker-build
  env:
    - name: EXAMPLE_VAR_1
      value: "example-value-1"
    - name: EXAMPLE_VAR_2
      value: "example-value-2"

Example of a Build that uses the Kubernetes Downward API to expose a Pod field as an environment variable:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildah-golang-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
    contextDir: docker-build
  env:
    - name: POD_NAME
      valueFrom:
        fieldRef:
          fieldPath: metadata.name

Example of a Build that uses the Kubernetes Downward API to expose a Container field as an environment variable:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildah-golang-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
    contextDir: docker-build
  env:
    - name: MEMORY_LIMIT
      valueFrom:
        resourceFieldRef:
          containerName: my-container
          resource: limits.memory

Defining the Strategy

A Build resource can specify the BuildStrategy to use, these are:

• Buildah
• Buildpacks-v3
• BuildKit
• Kaniko
• ko
• Source-to-Image

Defining the strategy is straightforward. You define the name and the kind. For example:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildpack-nodejs-build
spec:
  strategy:
    name: buildpacks-v3
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy

Defining ParamValues

A Build resource can specify paramValues for parameters that are defined in the referenced BuildStrategy. You specify these parameter values to control how the steps of the build strategy behave. You can overwrite values in the BuildRun resource. See the related documentation for more information.

The build strategy author can define a parameter as either a simple string or an array. Depending on that, you must specify the value accordingly. The build strategy parameter can be specified with a default value. You must specify a value in the Build or BuildRun for parameters without a default.

You can either specify values directly or reference keys from ConfigMaps and Secrets. Note: the usage of ConfigMaps and Secrets is limited by the usage of the parameter in the build strategy steps. You can only use them if the parameter is used in the command, arguments, or environment variable values.

When using paramValues, users should avoid:

• Defining a spec.paramValues name that doesn't match one of the spec.parameters defined in the BuildStrategy.
• Defining a spec.paramValues name that collides with the Shipwright reserved parameters. These are BUILDER_IMAGE, DOCKERFILE, CONTEXT_DIR, and any name starting with shp-.

In general, paramValues are tightly bound to Strategy parameters. Please make sure you understand the contents of your strategy of choice before defining paramValues in the Build.

Example

The BuildKit sample BuildStrategy contains various parameters. Two of them are outlined here:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
metadata:
  name: buildkit
  ...
spec:
  parameters:
  - name: build-args
    description: "The ARG values in the Dockerfile. Values must be in the format KEY=VALUE."
    type: array
    defaults: []
  - name: cache
    description: "Configure BuildKit's cache usage. Allowed values are 'disabled' and 'registry'. The default is 'registry'."
    type: string
    default: registry
  ...
  steps:
  ...

The cache parameter is a simple string. You can provide it like this in your Build:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: a-build
  namespace: a-namespace
spec:
  paramValues:
  - name: cache
    value: disabled
  strategy:
    name: buildkit
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  source:
  ...
  output:
  ...

If you have multiple Builds and want to control this parameter centrally, then you can create a ConfigMap:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: buildkit-configuration
  namespace: a-namespace
data:
  cache: disabled

You reference the ConfigMap as a parameter value like this:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: a-build
  namespace: a-namespace
spec:
  paramValues:
  - name: cache
    configMapValue:
      name: buildkit-configuration
      key: cache
  strategy:
    name: buildkit
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  source:
  ...
  output:
  ...

The build-args parameter is defined as an array. In the BuildKit strategy, you use build-args to set the ARG values in the Dockerfile, specified as key-value pairs separated by an equals sign, for example, NODE_VERSION=16. Your Build then looks like this (the value for cache is retained to outline how multiple paramValue can be set):

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: a-build
  namespace: a-namespace
spec:
  paramValues:
  - name: cache
    configMapValue:
      name: buildkit-configuration
      key: cache
  - name: build-args
    values:
    - value: NODE_VERSION=16
  strategy:
    name: buildkit
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  source:
  ...
  output:
  ...

Like simple values, you can also reference ConfigMaps and Secrets for every item in the array. Example:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: a-build
  namespace: a-namespace
spec:
  paramValues:
  - name: cache
    configMapValue:
      name: buildkit-configuration
      key: cache
  - name: build-args
    values:
    - configMapValue:
        name: project-configuration
        key: node-version
        format: NODE_VERSION=${CONFIGMAP_VALUE}
    - value: DEBUG_MODE=true
    - secretValue:
        name: npm-registry-access
        key: npm-auth-token
        format: NPM_AUTH_TOKEN=${SECRET_VALUE}
  strategy:
    name: buildkit
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  source:
  ...
  output:
  ...

Here, we pass three items in the build-args array:

1. The first item references a ConfigMap. Because the ConfigMap just contains the value (for example "16") as the data of the node-version key, the format setting is used to prepend NODE_VERSION= to make it a complete key-value pair.
2. The second item is just a hard-coded value.
3. The third item references a Secret, the same as with ConfigMaps.

Note: The logging output of BuildKit contains expanded ARGs in RUN commands. Also, such information ends up in the final container image if you use such args in the final stage of your Dockerfile. An alternative approach to pass secrets is using secret mounts. The BuildKit sample strategy supports them using the secrets parameter.

Defining the Builder or Dockerfile

In the Build resource, you use the parameters (spec.paramValues) to specify the image that contains the tools to build the final image. For example, the following Build definition specifies a Dockerfile image.

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: buildah-golang-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
    contextDir: docker-build
  strategy:
    name: buildah
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  paramValues:
  - name: dockerfile
    value: Dockerfile

Another example is when the user chooses the builder image for a specific language as part of the source-to-image buildStrategy:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: s2i-nodejs-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-nodejs
    contextDir: source-build/
  strategy:
    name: source-to-image
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  paramValues:
  - name: builder-image
    value: "docker.io/centos/nodejs-10-centos7"

Defining the Output

A Build resource can specify the output where it should push the image. For external private registries, it is recommended to specify a secret with the related data to access it. An option is available to specify the annotation and labels for the output image. The annotations and labels mentioned here are specific to the container image and do not relate to the Build annotations. Analogous, the timestamp refers to the timestamp of the output image.

Note: When you specify annotations, labels, or timestamp, the output image may get pushed twice, depending on the respective strategy. For example, strategies that push the image to the registry as part of their build step will lead to an additional push of the image in case image processing like labels is configured. If you have automation based on push events in your container registry, be aware of this behavior.

For example, the user specifies a public registry:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: s2i-nodejs-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-nodejs
    contextDir: source-build/
  strategy:
    name: source-to-image
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  paramValues:
  - name: builder-image
    value: "docker.io/centos/nodejs-10-centos7"
  output:
    image: image-registry.openshift-image-registry.svc:5000/build-examples/nodejs-ex

Another example is when the user specifies a private registry:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: s2i-nodejs-build
spec:
  source:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-nodejs
    contextDir: source-build/
  strategy:
    name: source-to-image
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  paramValues:
  - name: builder-image
    value: "docker.io/centos/nodejs-10-centos7"
  output:
    image: us.icr.io/source-to-image-build/nodejs-ex
    pushSecret: icr-knbuild

Example of user specifies image annotations and labels:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: s2i-nodejs-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-nodejs
    contextDir: source-build/
  strategy:
    name: source-to-image
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  paramValues:
  - name: builder-image
    value: "docker.io/centos/nodejs-10-centos7"
  output:
    image: us.icr.io/source-to-image-build/nodejs-ex
    pushSecret: icr-knbuild
    annotations:
      "org.opencontainers.image.source": "https://github.com/org/repo"
      "org.opencontainers.image.url": "https://my-company.com/images"
    labels:
      "maintainer": "[email protected]"
      "description": "This is my cool image"

Example of user specified image timestamp set to SourceTimestamp to set the output timestamp to match the timestamp of the Git commit used for the build:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: sample-go-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
    contextDir: source-build
  strategy:
    name: buildkit
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  output:
    image: some.registry.com/namespace/image:tag
    pushSecret: credentials
    timestamp: SourceTimestamp

Defining the vulnerabilityScan

vulnerabilityScan provides configurations to run a scan for your generated image.

• vulnerabilityScan.enabled - Specify whether to run vulnerability scan for image. The supported values are true and false.
• vulnerabilityScan.failOnFinding - indicates whether to fail the build run if the vulnerability scan results in vulnerabilities. The supported values are true and false. This field is optional and false by default.
• vulnerabilityScan.ignore.issues - references the security issues to be ignored in vulnerability scan
• vulnerabilityScan.ignore.severity - denotes the severity levels of security issues to be ignored, valid values are:
  • low: it will exclude low severity vulnerabilities, displaying only medium, high and critical vulnerabilities
  • medium: it will exclude low and medium severity vulnerabilities, displaying only high and critical vulnerabilities
  • high: it will exclude low, medium and high severity vulnerabilities, displaying only the critical vulnerabilities
• vulnerabilityScan.ignore.unfixed - indicates to ignore vulnerabilities for which no fix exists. The supported types are true and false.

Example of user specified image vulnerability scanning options:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: sample-go-build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
    contextDir: source-build
  strategy:
    name: buildkit
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  output:
    image: some.registry.com/namespace/image:tag
    pushSecret: credentials
    vulnerabilityScan:
      enabled: true
      failOnFinding: true
      ignore:
        issues:
          - CVE-2022-12345
        severity: Low
        unfixed: true

Annotations added to the output image can be verified by running the command:

docker manifest inspect us.icr.io/source-to-image-build/nodejs-ex | jq ".annotations"

You can verify which labels were added to the output image that is available on the host machine by running the command:

docker inspect us.icr.io/source-to-image-build/nodejs-ex | jq ".[].Config.Labels"

Defining Retention Parameters

A Build resource can specify how long a completed BuildRun can exist and the number of buildruns that have failed or succeeded that should exist. Instead of manually cleaning up old BuildRuns, retention parameters provide an alternate method for cleaning up BuildRuns automatically.

As part of the retention parameters, we have the following fields:

• retention.atBuildDeletion - Defines if all related BuildRuns needs to be deleted when deleting the Build. The default is false.
• retention.succeededLimit - Defines number of succeeded BuildRuns for a Build that can exist.
• retention.failedLimit - Defines number of failed BuildRuns for a Build that can exist.
• retention.ttlAfterFailed - Specifies the duration for which a failed buildrun can exist.
• retention.ttlAfterSucceeded - Specifies the duration for which a successful buildrun can exist.

An example of a user using both TTL and Limit retention fields. In case of such a configuration, BuildRun will get deleted once the first criteria is met.

  apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
  kind: Build
  metadata:
    name: build-retention-ttl
  spec:
    source:
      type: Git
      git:
        url: "https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go"
      contextDir: docker-build
    strategy:
      kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
    output:
    ...
    retention:
      ttlAfterFailed: 30m
      ttlAfterSucceeded: 1h
      failedLimit: 10
      succeededLimit: 20

Note: When changes are made to retention.failedLimit and retention.succeededLimit values, they come into effect as soon as the build is applied, thereby enforcing the new limits. On the other hand, changing the retention.ttlAfterFailed and retention.ttlAfterSucceeded values will only affect new buildruns. Old buildruns will adhere to the old TTL retention values. In case TTL values are defined in buildrun specifications as well as build specifications, priority will be given to the values defined in the buildrun specifications.

Defining Volumes

Builds can declare volumes. They must override volumes defined by the according BuildStrategy. If a volume is not overridable then the BuildRun will eventually fail.

Volumes follow the declaration of Pod Volumes, so all the usual volumeSource types are supported.

Here is an example of Build object that overrides volumes:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: build-name
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/example/url
  strategy:
    name: buildah
    kind: ClusterBuildStrategy
  paramValues:
  - name: dockerfile
    value: Dockerfile
  output:
    image: registry/namespace/image:latest
  volumes:
    - name: volume-name
      configMap:
        name: test-config

Defining Triggers

Using the triggers, you can submit BuildRun instances when certain events happen. The idea is to be able to trigger Shipwright builds in an event driven fashion, for that purpose you can watch certain types of events.

Note: triggers rely on the Shipwright Triggers project to be deployed and configured in the same Kubernetes cluster where you run Shipwright Build. If it is not set up, the triggers defined in a Build are ignored.

The types of events under watch are defined on the .spec.trigger attribute, please consider the following example:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
spec:
  source:
    type: Git
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
      cloneSecret: webhook-secret
    contextDir: docker-build
  trigger:
    when: []

Certain types of events will use attributes defined on .spec.source to complete the information needed in order to dispatch events.

GitHub

The GitHub type is meant to react upon events coming from GitHub WebHook interface, the events are compared against the existing Build resources, and therefore it can identify the Build objects based on .spec.source.git.url combined with the attributes on .spec.trigger.when[].github.

To identify a given Build object, the first criteria is the repository URL, and then the branch name listed on the GitHub event payload must also match. Following the criteria:

• First, the branch name is checked against the .spec.trigger.when[].github.branches entries
• If the .spec.trigger.when[].github.branches is empty, the branch name is compared against .spec.source.git.revision
• If spec.source.git.revision is empty, the default revision name is used ("main")

The following snippet shows a configuration matching Push and PullRequest events on the main branch, for example:

# [...]
spec:
  source:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/shipwright-io/sample-go
  trigger:
    when:
      - name: push and pull-request on the main branch
        type: GitHub
        github:
          events:
            - Push
            - PullRequest
          branches:

In order to watch over images, in combination with the Image controller, you can trigger new builds when those container image names change.

For instance, lets imagine the image named ghcr.io/some/base-image is used as input for the Build process and every time it changes we would like to trigger a new build. Please consider the following snippet:

# [...]
spec:
  trigger:
    when:
      - name: watching for the base-image changes
        type: Image
        image:
          names:
            - ghcr.io/some/base-image:latest

Tekton Pipeline

Shipwright can also be used in combination with Tekton Pipeline, you can configure the Build to watch for Pipeline resources in Kubernetes reacting when the object reaches the desired status (.objectRef.status), and is identified either by its name (.objectRef.name) or a label selector (.objectRef.selector). The example below uses the label selector approach:

# [...]
spec:
  trigger:
    when:
      - name: watching over for the Tekton Pipeline
        type: Pipeline
        objectRef:
          status:
            - Succeeded
          selector:
            label: value

While the next snippet uses the object name for identification:

# [...]
spec:
  trigger:
    when:
      - name: watching over for the Tekton Pipeline
        type: Pipeline
        objectRef:
          status:
            - Succeeded
          name: tekton-pipeline-name

BuildRun Deletion

A Build can automatically delete a related BuildRun. To enable this feature set the spec.retention.atBuildDeletion to true in the Build instance. The default value is set to false. See an example of how to define this field:

apiVersion: shipwright.io/v1beta1
kind: Build
metadata:
  name: kaniko-golang-build
spec:
  retention:
    atBuildDeletion: true
  # [...]
