Contributing

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the 1Password Kubernetes Operator project 👋! Before you start, please take a moment to read through this guide to understand our contribution process.

Testing

All contributions must include tests where applicable.

  • Unit tests for pure Go logic.
  • Integration tests for controller/reconciler logic using envtest.
  • E2E tests for full cluster behavior with kind.

👉 See the Testing Guide for details on when to use each, how to run them locally, and how they are run in CI.


For functional testing, run the local version of the operator. From the project root:

# Go to the K8s environment (e.g. minikube)
eval $(minikube docker-env)

# Build the local Docker image for the operator
make docker-build

# Deploy the operator
make deploy

# Remove the operator from K8s
make undeploy
  • After making changes to the code:
  1. Rebuild the Docker image by running make docker-build
  2. Restart deployment make restart

  • For testing the changes made to the OnePasswordItem Custom Resource Definition (CRD), you need to re-generate the object:

    make manifests
    
  • Run tests for the operator:

    make test
    

You can check other available commands that may come in handy by running make help.

Debugging

  • Running kubectl describe pod will fetch details about pods. This includes configuration information about the container(s) and Pod (labels, resource requirements, etc) and status information about the container(s) and Pod (state, readiness, restart count, events, etc.).
  • Running kubectl logs ${POD_NAME} ${CONTAINER_NAME} will print the logs from the container(s) in a pod. This can help with debugging issues by inspection.
  • Running kubectl exec ${POD_NAME} -c ${CONTAINER_NAME} -- ${CMD} allows executing a command inside a specific container.

For more debugging documentation, see: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug/debug-application/debug-pods/

Documentation Updates

If applicable, update the USAGEGUIDE.md and README.md to reflect any changes introduced by the new code.

Sign your commits

To get your PR merged, we require you to sign your commits. There are three options you can choose from.

Sign commits with 1Password

You can sign commits using 1Password, which lets you sign commits with biometrics without the signing key leaving the local 1Password process.

Learn how to use 1Password to sign your commits.

Sign commits with ssh-agent

Follow the steps below to set up commit signing with ssh-agent:

  1. Generate an SSH key and add it to ssh-agent
  2. Add the SSH key to your GitHub account
  3. Configure git to use your SSH key for commits signing

Sign commits with gpg

Follow the steps below to set up commit signing with gpg:

  1. Generate a GPG key
  2. Add the GPG key to your GitHub account
  3. Configure git to use your GPG key for commits signing
