In this blog post we use an existing template file, that we created for a custom resource to insert the needed value of an URL to point to a container image in a container registry, to create a custom resource yaml file, we use this file to deploy a custom resource to a cluster. The template file contains a string which we will replace with the content of URL for that container image.
Note: We haven’t used helm, kustomize to do that in this situation, because we did a custom way for the automation.
With the Linux sed command, we will search for the string value DATABASE_BACKUP_IMAGE in the the template file and replace this value with the content of the $IMAGE_NAME variable.
Then we save the changes in with operator >> to a new file. You can find the following code as a part of the bash script ci-create-operator-database-kubernetes.sh in the Kubernetes Operator Patterns and Best Practices repository.
#Backup
IMAGE_NAME="$REGISTRY/$ORG/$IMAGE_DATABASE_BACKUP"
echo $IMAGE_NAME
sed "s+DATABASE_BACKUP_IMAGE+$IMAGE_NAME+g" "$DATABASE_TEMPLATE_FOLDER/database.sample_v1alpha1_databasebackup-TEMPLATE.yaml" > "$ROOT_FOLDER/operator-database/config/samples/database.sample_v1alpha1_databasebackup.yaml"
cat $ROOT_FOLDER/operator-database/config/samples/database.sample_v1alpha1_databasecluster.yaml | grep "$IMAGE_DATABASE_BACKUP"
IMAGE_NAME="$REGISTRY/$ORG/$IMAGE_DATABASE_SERVICE"
In the code below you see the custom resource to create a DatabaseBackup instance on a cluster.
You find related code in the Kubernetes Operator Patterns and Best Practices repository.

I hope this was useful for you and let’s see what’s next?
