Why is the helm template defaulting to http when the agent.jar does not accept it?

hokadiri

@hokadiri

Looks like someone already created an issue gocd/helm-chart#12

This seems like a very integral piece (master -> agent communication). The fact it's not working, i'm curios how folks are able to get around it? I'm assuming a lot of folks have elastic agents.

hokadiri

@hokadiri

Is this an active chat ? The "hello world" version of the product does not work doesn't look like i can get any help.

Looks like its been broken since gocd/gocd#7872 got shipped last year.
User created gocd/helm-chart#12
3 months ago but there's been no response.

is gocd still a thing?

marques-work

@marques-work

Yes, GoCD is still a thing. In personally don’t have experience with the helm chart so I may be of limited help.

The team is spread across time zones so not everyone is online at a given time.

FWIW, the agent should work with http URL. We use that in development and no longer bake in TLS termination on the server and leave that up to the user to set up with a reverse proxy.

hokadiri

@hokadiri

The agent doesn't work with http:
The GoCD server URL. Must begin with https://, and end with /go

that requirement is coming from the agent

What agent are you on?

marques-work

@marques-work

Latest agent 21.2.0. But this has been the case for some time.

Not sure how the helm chart is set up, but iirc it works with the vanilla packages

Even the test drive sets up an agent and server on your computer and it doesn’t use TLS

We removed the TLS termination many releases ago

hokadiri

@hokadiri

you mean gocd/gocd#7872 commit?

hokadiri

@hokadiri

The latest helm uses v21.2.0 agent which is where i'm seeing the issue

$ kubectl describe deployment/gocd-agent -n gocd | grep Image
Image: gocd/gocd-agent-alpine-3.12:v21.2.0

Something is amiss

hokadiri

@hokadiri

ok figured it out. the docker image for the agent in https://docs.gocd.org/current/gocd_on_kubernetes/importing_a_sample_workflow.html
gocddemo/gocd-agent-dind:webinar is running an old version 18.3.0-6540 of the gocd-agent

The tutorial needs to be updated.

marques-work

@marques-work

Good catch. Sorry I got pulled away with work.

@hokadiri if you haven’t yet done so already, could you raise an issue that the docs are wrong?

hokadiri

@hokadiri

Will do @marques-work

hokadiri

@hokadiri

Created gocd/gocd#9279

Seems like GoCD has lots of UI interactions. Is there a way to manipulate and configure the server as code or am I forced to use the UI to customize things?

I'm interested in running GoCD ephemerally such that i launch a GoCD controller inside a pod for every single pipeline run using Kubernetes and then I run like 10-50k pipelines at the same time on kubernetes. Is this doable?

marques-work

@marques-work

The canonical config descriptor is <servers or>/config/cruise-config.xml

The UI is basically a frontend to modifying that file, so you could create a config that you’re satisfied with and deploy that (maybe templatize and render as needed) to your nodes.

Typo — meant <serverdir>/config/cruise-config.xml

@blockjon

I see.. thank you

There's https://api.gocd.org/current/ and https://docs.gocd.org/current/advanced_usage/pipelines_as_code.html and https://docs.gocd.org/current/configuration/elastic_agents.html which might be helpful to you. 10-50k is very likely over a limit GoCD can handle.

I use Gerrit Change Set plugin 1.4.0-RC4 and Gerrit Change Set status notifier 1.7.0-107. It works wonderful if someone pushes a change to gerrit, but the problem occurs if gerrit review is done and the change is merged. After this a pipeline runs with a gerrit revison idea which do not exist

Snahil Indoria

@snahil

@goone:matrix.org we have used gerrit-cs-poller-1.3.5 and gerrit-cs-status-1.6-73 but still the issue persists

Quick question, if I have the cipher.aes file in the GoCD Server, which contains the key, and I want to encrypt a value to send to GoCD API, how would I manage to create the IV? What other parameters do I need to set up when encrypting in AES?

I currently have my GoCD Server behind a reverse proxy that uses https and my gocd agents are able to connect to it successfully. Does the server generate a secure connection with the agents or do I need to explicitly setup https on the agents as well?

marques-work

@marques-work

The server doesn’t reach out to the agents; the agents reach out to the server.

So if your agents are configured with the GoCD server url set to the https url, it should be secure.

hi I'm trying setup GoCD from scratch ..I got the agent configured well and I even configured the proxy URL in wrapper.properties but continously getting "Failed to run git clone command STDERR: fatal: unable to access 'http://xxxxx.git/': Could not resolve host: xxxxx; Unknown error"

any help would be appreciated

marques-work

@marques-work

It’s just saying the hostname of the git repo you are trying to clone can’t be resolved by dns. maybe your URL is wrong or your server/agent isn’t using the right dns server or is on the wrong network. Make sure that url is resolvable from the server and agent hosts. Manually verify this by hopping on the hosts and test this

Sreemaniteja Yellapragada

Tested manually from the host..git clone worked perfectly fine..only issue is with the gocd

lucaferrarihotmail

@lucaferrarihotmail

HI All, I need to know if gocd has a functionality that could cover my user case.
USER CASE: a job is running on an agent. This is a long job and require hours. At certain point of the job the agent has problem (nw connection, running out of resources, OS crash). Is there a possibility to move the rest of the job in another agent WITHOUT restart it from the beginning?

marques-work

@marques-work

Sreemaniteja Yellapragada - odd. There must be some environment difference between your user and the one GoCD is using. Usually, DNS resolution isn’t different between users on a host.

Try with the IP address? Just to be sure it’s no other problem?

@lucaferrarihotmail I’m not sure how that would work in general, GoCD or not. Not saying it isn’t possible, just not straightforward or obvious.

How would a single OS process that crashes in midway be picked up by another process in another host from where it left off? There would have to be some state saved, synchronously, and that would have to be to the new host after recovering from the initial crash. Right?

marques-work

@marques-work

If you are talking about picking up jobs that didn’t finish in a stage, the GoCD already does this; it doesn’t need to reexecute jobs that have already completed within a stage if the stage fails midway, and can run the jobs that were unfinished or pending.

However, at the task level, this is not possible to continue unfinished tasks on another agent after the original one dies.

lucaferrarihotmail

@lucaferrarihotmail

yes Marques.. I'm referring to the case you menationed in the first comment

I was thinking to a solution like the one you was immagining with state saved, synch of the agent something like this

marques - I cannot try with IP address.It works fine in other environments which don't have proxy configured

marques-work

@marques-work

You cannot use an IP address? But the error indicates a resolution problem.

Anyhow, what do you mean by proxy? Reverse http proxy, forward proxy, or something like SOCKS proxy?

If your DNS is happening over proxy, you might check there first since you got a resolution error.

@lucaferrarihotmail sorry, I don’t know how that would work.

GoCD does not have native support for such a thing, as I imagine no other software would either. This sounds like some custom functionality specific to your application. Sorry about that, nothing we can do here to that specific solution.

Feel free to elaborate on some specifics of your problem to see if there are alternative approaches to solve your problem, other than what you hypothesized.
