Skaffold: No support for openshift deployment

[deepejai]

In the current version, I am not able to deploy to openshift environment using skaffold. Can you provide support for same?

Hi @deepejai, thanks for the feedback! Can you provide us more details on things you're trying to achieve and error messages you might see?

Hi @dgageot I am using Openshift environment to host my application, To deploy my application, I am using oc create/apply -f kubeconfig.yaml so When I tried deploying my app using default configuration, It was failing at deployed step, As It was using kubectl in backend, so I modified my skaffold.yaml file to use oc at place of kubectl, so It is throwing error as unknown deployer as It supports HelmDeploy and KubectlDeploy

I think we'd happily accept an openshift deployer for skaffold. It should be pretty straightforward to implement and can reuse a lot of the machinery used for the kubectl deployer.

Additionally, we can most likely add a lot of the single node optimizations that we added for minikube and docker for desktop in skaffold for minishift. cc @gbraad @praveenkumar

@deepejai though you can use kubectl apply on OpenShift too you know ;) as of recent versions (I think 3.8?) OpenShift's custom resources like DeploymentConfig and Route use standard kubernetes API groups so can be applied via kubectl too

I'm going to assume the kubectl deploy plugin does know how to talk to OpenShift. Please feel free to reopen if that's not the case
