IDP Builder

Internal development platform binary launcher.

About

Spin up a complete internal developer platform using industry standard technologies like Kubernetes, Argo, and backstage with only Docker required as a dependency.

This can be useful in several ways:

• Create a single binary which can demonstrate an IDP reference implementation.
• Use within CI to perform integration testing.
• Use as a local development environment for platform engineers.

Getting Started

The easiest way to get started is to grab the idpbuilder binary for your platform and run it. You can visit our nightly releases page to download the version for your system, or run the following commands:

arch=$(if [[ "$(uname -m)" == "x86_64" ]]; then echo "amd64"; else uname -m; fi)
os=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')


idpbuilder_latest_tag=$(curl --silent "https://api.github.com/repos/cnoe-io/idpbuilder/releases/latest" | grep '"tag_name":' | sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')
curl -LO  https://github.com/cnoe-io/idpbuilder/releases/download/$idpbuilder_latest_tag/idpbuilder-$os-$arch.tar.gz
tar xvzf idpbuilder-$os-$arch.tar.gz

You can then run idpbuilder with the create argument to spin up your CNOE IDP:

./idpbuilder create
