Using an HTTP cookie file with git-sync

Git-sync supports use of an HTTP cookie file for accessing git content.

Step 1: Create a Secret

First, create a Kubernetes Secret from the git cookie file you wish to use.

Example: if the cookie-file is ~/.gitcookies:

kubectl create secret generic git-cookie-file --from-file=cookie_file=~/.gitcookies

Note that the key is cookie_file. This is the filename that git-sync will look for.

Step 2: Configure a Pod/Deployment volume

In your Pod or Deployment configuration, specify a volume for mounting the cookie-file Secret. Make sure to set secretName to the same name you used to create the secret (git-cookie-file in the example above).

volumes:
  - name: git-secret
    secret:
      secretName: git-cookie-file
      defaultMode: 0440

Step 3: Configure a git-sync container

In your git-sync container configuration, mount your volume at "/etc/git-secret". Make sure to pass the --cookie-file flag or set the environment variable GITSYNC_COOKIE_FILE to "true", and to use a git repo (--repo or GITSYNC_REPO) with an HTTP URL.

name: "git-sync"
...
env:
  - name: GITSYNC_REPO
    value: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.git
  - name: GITSYNC_COOKIE_FILE
    value: true
volumeMounts:
  - name: git-secret
    mountPath: /etc/git-secret
    readOnly: true
