This guide shows you how to manage application sources from the CAEPE account portal. You can access the configuration section from the Configuration -> Application Source menu item.
An application source represent where CAEPE can find the definition of an application. This definition source can be from a repository or a container image registry.
Repositories
Viewing repositories
You can see the repositories associated with your account in the center of the page.
You can switch the view of the repositories between a "list" and "grid" view and filter the applications by clicking the Filters button. You can filter by repository name, status, and type.
Each entry in the list or grid shows the repository's name, the credential added to it, its type, and its URL. Click the pencil icon to edit the repository or the wastebasket icon to delete it.
Repository details
Click the View Details link next to any repository to see more details about the application including the type, the credentials used, and any applications using the repository. You can also edit and delete the repository from the details page.
Connect a repository
Connect a repository by clicking the New Repository button.
For each repository, select the type and the location. CAEPE supports application definitions stored in the following repository types:
- Git
- Helm
And stored in the following locations:
- GitHub
- Bitbucket
- Gitlab
- Custom location
Next, set a name for the repository and its URL.
- The URL must end in .git.
- CAEPE processes Git repositories for deployments exclusively using .yml or .yaml files, ignoring all other file types.
Optionally, select or create the credentials to use to access the repository. Only Git-compatible credentials are listed: a Username (username and password) or Private key credential. See Credentials.
To connect a GitHub repository using a Personal Access Token (PAT), select Username as the Credential Type in CAEPE. Enter your GitHub account username as the Username and the PAT as the Password.
You can also select Skip SSL to disable SSL verification, or Enable LFS if the repository you are connecting to uses large file storage (LFS). Click Connect.
