# Configuring Your Artifact Repository To run Argo workflows that use artifacts, you must configure and use an artifact repository. Argo supports any S3 compatible artifact repository such as AWS, GCS and Minio. This section shows how to configure the artifact repository. Subsequent sections will show how to use it. ## Configuring Minio ``` $ brew install kubernetes-helm # mac $ helm init $ helm install stable/minio --name argo-artifacts --set service.type=LoadBalancer ``` Login to the Minio UI using a web browser (port 9000) after obtaining the external IP using `kubectl`. ``` $ kubectl get service argo-artifacts-minio ``` On Minikube: ``` $ minikube service --url argo-artifacts-minio ``` NOTE: When minio is installed via Helm, it uses the following hard-wired default credentials, which you will use to login to the UI: * AccessKey: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE * SecretKey: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY Create a bucket named `my-bucket` from the Minio UI. ## Configuring AWS S3 Create your bucket and access keys for the bucket. AWS access keys have the same permissions as the user they are associated with. In particular, you cannot create access keys with reduced scope. If you want to limit the permissions for an access key, you will need to create a user with just the permissions you want to associate with the access key. Otherwise, you can just create an access key using your existing user account. ``` $ export mybucket=bucket249 $ cat > policy.json < access-key.json ``` NOTE: if you want argo to figure out which region your buckets belong in, you must additionally set the following statement policy. Otherwise, you must specify a bucket region in your workflow configuration. ``` ... { "Effect":"Allow", "Action":[ "s3:GetBucketLocation" ], "Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::*" } ... ``` ## Configuring GCS (Google Cloud Storage) Create a bucket from the GCP Console (https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser). Enable S3 compatible access and create an access key. Note that S3 compatible access is on a per project rather than per bucket basis. - Navigate to Storage > Settings (https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/settings). - Enable interoperability access if needed. - Create a new key if needed. # Configure the Default Artifact Repository In order for Argo to use your artifact repository, you must configure it as the default repository. Edit the workflow-controller config map with the correct endpoint and access/secret keys for your repository. Use the `endpoint` corresponding to your S3 provider: - AWS: s3.amazonaws.com - GCS: storage.googleapis.com - Minio: my-minio-endpoint.default:9000 The `key` is name of the object in the `bucket` The `accessKeySecret` and `secretKeySecret` are secret selectors that reference the specified kubernetes secret. The secret is expected to have have the keys 'accessKey' and 'secretKey', containing the base64 encoded credentials to the bucket. For AWS, the `accessKeySecret` and `secretKeySecret` correspond to AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY respectively. EC2 provides a metadata API via which applications using the AWS SDK may assume IAM roles associated with the instance. If you are running argo on EC2 and the instance role allows access to your S3 bucket, you can configure the workflow step pods to assume the role. To do so, simply omit the `accessKeySecret` and `secretKeySecret` fields. For GCS, the `accessKeySecret` and `secretKeySecret` for S3 compatible access can be obtained from the GCP Console. Note that S3 compatible access is on a per project rather than per bucket basis. - Navigate to Storage > Settings (https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/settings). - Enable interoperability access if needed. - Create a new key if needed. For Minio, the `accessKeySecret` and `secretKeySecret` naturally correspond the AccessKey and SecretKey. Example: ``` $ kubectl edit configmap workflow-controller-configmap -n kube-system ... data: config: | artifactRepository: s3: bucket: my-bucket keyPrefix: prefix/in/bucket #optional endpoint: my-minio-endpoint.default:9000 #AWS => s3.amazonaws.com; GCS => storage.googleapis.com insecure: true #omit for S3/GCS. Needed when minio runs without TLS accessKeySecret: #omit if accessing via AWS IAM name: my-minio-cred key: accesskey secretKeySecret: #omit if accessing via AWS IAM name: my-minio-cred key: secretkey ``` The secrets are retrieve from the namespace you use to run your workflows. Note that you can specify a `keyPrefix`. # Accessing Non-Default Artifact Repositories This section shows how to access artifacts from non-default artifact repositories. The `endpoint`, `accessKeySecret` and `secretKeySecret` are the same as for configuring the default artifact repository described previously. ``` templates: - name: artifact-example inputs: artifacts: - name: my-input-artifact path: /my-input-artifact s3: endpoint: s3.amazonaws.com bucket: my-aws-bucket-name key: path/in/bucket/my-input-artifact.tgz accessKeySecret: name: my-aws-s3-credentials key: accessKey secretKeySecret: name: my-aws-s3-credentials key: secretKey outputs: artifacts: - name: my-output-artifact path: /my-ouput-artifact s3: endpoint: storage.googleapis.com bucket: my-aws-bucket-name # NOTE that all output artifacts are automatically tarred and # gzipped before saving. So as a best practice, .tgz or .tar.gz # should be incorporated into the key name so the resulting file # has an accurate file extension. key: path/in/bucket/my-output-artifact.tgz accessKeySecret: name: my-gcs-s3-credentials key: accessKey secretKeySecret: name: my-gcs-s3-credentials key: secretKey container: image: debian:latest command: [sh, -c] args: ["cp -r /my-input-artifact /my-output-artifact"] ```
