Backstage Operator

The Goal

The Goal of Backstage Operator project is creating Kubernetes Operator for configuring, installing and synchronizing Backstage instance on Kubernetes/OpenShift. The initial target is in support of Red Hat's assemblies of Backstage - specifically supporting dynamic-plugins on OpenShift. This includes Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH) but may be flexible enough to install any compatible Backstage instance on Kubernetes. See additional information under Configuration. The Operator provides clear and flexible configuration options to satisfy a wide range of expectations, from "no configuration for default quick start" to "highly customized configuration for production".

Getting Started

You’ll need a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster. You can use Minikube or KIND for local testing, or deploy to a remote cluster. Note: Your controller will automatically use the current context in your kubeconfig file (i.e. whatever cluster kubectl cluster-info shows).

To test it on minikube from the source code:

Both kubectl and minikube must be installed. See tools.

  1. Get your copy of Operator from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/janus-idp/operator
  1. Deploy Operator on the minikube cluster:
cd <your-rhdh-operator-project-dir>
make deploy

you can check if the Operator pod is up by running

kubectl get pods -n backstage-system
It should be something like:
NAME                                           READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
backstage-controller-manager-cfc44bdfd-xzk8g   2/2     Running   0          32s
  1. Create Backstage Custom resource on some namespace (make sure this namespace exists)
kubectl -n <your-namespace> apply -f examples/bs1.yaml

you can check if the Operand pods are up by running

kubectl get pods -n <your-namespace>
It should be something like:
NAME                         READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
backstage-85fc4657b5-lqk6r   1/1     Running   0          78s
backstage-psql-bs1-0         1/1     Running   0          79s
  1. Tunnel Backstage Service and get URL for access Backstage
minikube service -n <your-namespace> backstage --url
Output:
>http://127.0.0.1:53245
  1. Access your Backstage instance in your browser using this URL.
