Extending the docker image on an agent

Suggest Edits

If you'd like, you can use your own custom docker image with the Kubernetes agent. That way you can add anything you want that is lacking in the base image.
In order to do that, you'd need to:

Download our base image to your local docker
Create a Dockerfile off of that image
Build your custom image and push it to your repository
Edit the docker image in the agent values

Downloading the base image

Find the base image tag you're using. Find the helm value of dockerImage in your installation. It should be in the following format: ghcr.io/env0/deployment-agent:<image_tag>
Create a docker config file that has permission to pull the base image: Take the helm value of agentImagePullSecret, decode it from base64 and you'll get a JSON. Save that JSON locally in the current folder, in a file named config.json
Pull the image using this config

# <agentImagePullSecret> should be replaced with the agentImagePullSecret value from helm
# ghcr.io/env0/deployment-agent:<image_tag> is the base image from dockerImage value from helm

echo -n "<agentImagePullSecret>" | openssl base64 -d -A >> config.json
docker --config . pull ghcr.io/env0/deployment-agent:<image_tag>

Create a Dockerfile

Create a Dockerfile based on the image that was downloaded. There are some limitations to the Dockerfile. Read the comments on the template for more information:

# Use the env0 image as the base image
FROM ghcr.io/env0/deployment-agent:<image_tag>

# Enter your custom docker configuration here

# Make sure there is NO ENTRYPOINT in this file
# If you'd like to use CMD, make sure to add `&& npm start` at the end of it

Build the custom image and push it to your own repository

Build your image and push it to your own image repository

# <remote-repository> is the remote image repository you want to use
# <image-tag> is the tag you want for the custom iamge

docker build . -t <remote-rpository>:<image-tag>
docker push <remote-repository>:<image-tag>

Use the custom image in the env0 agent

Now you simply have to overwrite the helm values of agentImagePullSecret and dockerImage to match your own custom image

dockerImage should be :
agentImagePullSecret should be a base64 encoding of the docker config used to pull the image
Perform a helm upgrade with those new values

# This should be the image and tag of the custom image you have created
export ENV0_CUSTOM_IMAGE="<remote-repository>:<image-tag>"

# This is a base64 encoded docker config used for pulling the image
# By default, the config file is in ~/.docker/config.json. Change it if you are using a custom config
export ENV0_AGENT_IMAGE_PULL_SECRET=$(cat ~/.docker/config.json | openssl base64 -A)

# Add those values to your custom values yaml, values.customer.yml
echo "dockerImage: $ENV0_CUSTOM_IMAGE" >> values.customer.yml
echo "agentImagePullSecret: $ENV0_AGENT_IMAGE_PULL_SECRET" >> values.customer.yml

# Update your agent with the new image
helm upgrade -f values.yaml -f values.customer.yml
