# Kubespray (kubespray) in own ansible playbooks repo

1. Fork [kubespray repo](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray) to your personal/organisation account on github.
   Note:
     * All forked public repos at github will be also public, so **never commit sensitive data to your public forks**.
     * List of all forked repos could be retrieved from github page of original project.

2. Add **forked repo** as submodule to desired folder in your existent ansible repo (for example 3d/kubespray):

   ```ShellSession
   git submodule add https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB/kubespray.git kubespray
   ```

   Git will create `.gitmodules` file in your existent ansible repo:

   ```ini
   [submodule "3d/kubespray"]
          path = 3d/kubespray
          url = https://github.com/YOUR_GITHUB/kubespray.git
   ```

3. Configure git to show submodule status:

   ```ShellSession
   git config --global status.submoduleSummary true
   ```

4. Add *original* kubespray repo as upstream:

   ```ShellSession
   cd kubespray && git remote add upstream https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubespray.git
   ```

5. Sync your master branch with upstream:

   ```ShellSession
   git checkout master
   git fetch upstream
   git merge upstream/master
   git push origin master
   ```

6. Create a new branch which you will use in your working environment:

   ```ShellSession
   git checkout -b work
   ```

    ***Never*** use master branch of your repository for your commits.

7. Modify path to library and roles in your ansible.cfg file (role naming should be unique, you may have to rename your existent roles if they have same names as kubespray project),
   if you had roles in your existing ansible project before, you can add the path to those separated with `:`:

   ```ini
   ...
   library       = ./library/:3d/kubespray/library/
   roles_path    = ./roles/:3d/kubespray/roles/
   ...
   ```

8. Copy and modify configs from kubespray `group_vars` folder to corresponding `group_vars` folder in your existent project.

   You could rename *all.yml* config to something else, i.e. *kubespray.yml* and create corresponding group in your inventory file, which will include all hosts groups related to kubernetes setup.

9. Modify your ansible inventory file by adding mapping of your existent groups (if any) to kubespray naming.
    For example:

   ```ini
   ...
   #Kubespray groups:
   [kube_node:children]
   kubenode

   [k8s_cluster:children]
   kubernetes

   [etcd:children]
   kubemaster
   kubemaster-ha

   [kube_control_plane:children]
   kubemaster
   kubemaster-ha

   [kubespray:children]
   kubernetes
   ```

* Last entry here needed to apply kubespray.yml config file, renamed from all.yml of kubespray project.

10. Now you can include kubespray tasks in you existent playbooks by including cluster.yml file:

    ```yml
    - name: Import kubespray playbook
      ansible.builtin.import_playbook: 3d/kubespray/cluster.yml
    ```

    Or you could copy separate tasks from cluster.yml into your ansible repository.

11. Commit changes to your ansible repo. Keep in mind, that submodule folder is just a link to the git commit hash of your forked repo.

    When you update your "work" branch you need to commit changes to ansible repo as well.
Other members of your team should use ```git submodule sync```, ```git submodule update --init``` to get actual code from submodule.

## Contributing

If you made useful changes or fixed a bug in existent kubespray repo, use this flow for PRs to original kubespray repo.

1. Sign the [CNCF CLA](https://git.k8s.io/community/CLA.md).

2. Change working directory to git submodule directory (3d/kubespray).

3. Setup desired user.name and user.email for submodule.

   If kubespray is only one submodule in your repo you could use something like:

   ```ShellSession
   git submodule foreach --recursive 'git config user.name "First Last" && git config user.email "your-email-address@used.for.cncf"'
   ```

4. Sync with upstream master:

   ```ShellSession
   git fetch upstream
   git merge upstream/master
   git push origin master
   ```

5. Create new branch for the specific fixes that you want to contribute:

   ```ShellSession
   git checkout -b fixes-name-date-index
   ```

   Branch name should be self explaining to you, adding date and/or index will help you to track/delete your old PRs.

6. Find git hash of your commit in "work" repo and apply it to newly created "fix" repo:

   ```ShellSession
   git cherry-pick <COMMIT_HASH>
   ```

7. If you have several temporary-stage commits - squash them using [git rebase -i](https://eli.thegreenplace.net/2014/02/19/squashing-github-pull-requests-into-a-single-commit)

   Also you could use interactive rebase

   ```ShellSession
   git rebase -i HEAD~10
   ```

   to delete commits which you don't want to contribute into original repo.

8. When your changes is in place, you need to check upstream repo one more time because it could be changed during your work.

   Check that you're on correct branch:

   ```ShellSession
   git status
   ```

   And pull changes from upstream (if any):

   ```ShellSession
   git pull --rebase upstream master
   ```

9. Now push your changes to your **fork** repo with

   ```ShellSession
   git push
   ```

   If your branch doesn't exist on github, git will propose you to use something like

   ```ShellSession
   git push --set-upstream origin fixes-name-date-index
   ```

10. Open you forked repo in browser, on the main page you will see proposition to create pull request for your newly created branch. Check proposed diff of your PR. If something is wrong you could safely delete "fix" branch on github using

    ```ShellSession
    git push origin --delete fixes-name-date-index
    git branch -D fixes-name-date-index
    ```

    and start whole process from the beginning.

    If everything is fine - add description about your changes (what they do and why they're needed) and confirm pull request creation.
