Robot Config Service

A Python service that runs on a Raspberry Pi (or similar) robot to automatically configure Skupper tunnels to an OpenShift cluster based on event IDs. The robot cannot reach the data center directly; it uses a fixed redirect URL and API (with basic auth) to get the current event and a Skupper token, then runs an Ansible playbook to establish the tunnel.

Important env. variables:

Variable	Example value	Description
RCS_GIT_REPO	https://github.com/cloud-native-robotz-hackathon/robot-auto-register-78b09.git	Repo to fetch hub controller url
RCS_GH_TOKEN	github_pat_xxxx	GitHub Token to have access to private repo. For the repo robot-auto-register-78b09 it's in Bitwarden.
RCS_HUBCONTROLLER_USER	admin	Username to access hub controller
RCS_HUBCONTROLLER_PASSWORD	password	Password to access hub controller, documented in Bitwarden

Local development

robot-config-service.py at the laptop

Create a copy of robot-config-service.env.example: cp -v robot-config-service.env.example robot-config-service.env. Adjust robot-config-service.env

podman build -t local -f Containerfile.development .
podman run -v $(pwd):/opt/app-root/src --user 0 -ti --rm local bash 
source robot-config-service.env
python robot_config_service.py

Ansible at the robot

ssh -l root -i ~/.ssh/robot-hackathon gort
# File  /opt/robot-config-service/skupper-token have to exist
cd /opt/robot-config-service/ansible/
ansible-playbook -i inventory configure-robot.yml
