## Summary

CNOE is a 'Platform Engineering Framework' (Danger: Our wording!) - it is open source and locally runnable.

It consists of the orchestrator 'idpbuilder' and both of some predefined building blocks and also some predefined platform configurations.  

{{% /pageinfo %}}


## Orchestrator 'idpbuilder', initial run

The orchestrator in CNOE is called 'idpbuilder'. It is [locally installable binary](https://cnoe.io/docs/reference-implementation/installations/idpbuilder/quick-start)

A typipcal first setup ist described here: https://cnoe.io/docs/reference-implementation/technology

```bash
# this is a local linux shell

# check local installation
type idpbuilder
idpbuilder is /usr/local/bin/idpbuilder

# check version
idpbuilder version
idpbuilder 0.8.0-nightly.20240914 go1.22.7 linux/amd64

# do some completion and aliasing
source <(idpbuilder completion bash)
alias ib=idpbuilder
complete -F __start_idpbuilder ib

# check and remove all existing kind clusters
kind delete clusters --all
kind get clusters
# sth. like 'No kind clusters found.'

# run
$ib create --use-path-routing  --log-level debug --package-dir https://github.com/cnoe-io/stacks//ref-implementation
```

You get output like

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/ipceicis-developerframework$ idpbuilder create

### Prepare a k8s cluster with kind

You may have seen: when starting `idpbuilder` without an existing cluster named `localdev` it first creates this cluster by calling `kind`with an internally defined config.

It's an important feature of idpbuilder that it will set up on an existing cluster `localdev` when called several times in a row e.g. to append new packages to the cluster.

That's why we here first create the kind cluster `localdev`itself:

```bash
cat << EOF | kind create cluster --name localdev --config=-
# Kind kubernetes release images https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/releases
kind: Cluster
apiVersion: kind.x-k8s.io/v1alpha4
nodes:
- role: control-plane
  image: "kindest/node:v1.30.0"
  labels:
    ingress-ready: "true"
  extraPortMappings:
  - containerPort: 443
    hostPort: 8443
    protocol: TCP

containerdConfigPatches:
- |-
  [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".registry.mirrors."gitea.cnoe.localtest.me:8443"]
    endpoint = ["https://gitea.cnoe.localtest.me"]
  [plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".registry.configs."gitea.cnoe.localtest.me".tls]
    insecure_skip_verify = true
```

```bash
# alternatively, if you have the kind config as file:
kind create cluster --name localdev --config kind-config.yaml
```

#### Output

A typical raw kind setup kubernetes cluster would look like this with respect to running pods:

> be sure all pods are in status 'running'

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/idpbuilder$ k get pods -A
NAMESPACE            NAME                                             READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE

```

### First run: Start with core applications, 'core package'

Now we run idpbuilder the first time:

```
# now idpbuilder reuses the already existing cluster
# pls apply '--use-path-routing' otherwise as we discovered currently the service resolving inside the cluster won't work 
ib create --use-path-routing
```

#### Output

Can Access ArgoCD at https://cnoe.localtest.me:8443/argocd
Username: admin
Password can be retrieved by running: idpbuilder get secrets -p argocd
```

##### ArgoCD applications

When running idpbuilder 'barely' (without package option) you get the 'core applications' deployed in your cluster:

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/ipceicis-developerframework$ k get applications -A
NAMESPACE   NAME     SYNC STATUS   HEALTH STATUS
argocd      argocd   Synced        Healthy
argocd      gitea    Synced        Healthy
argocd      nginx    Synced        Healthy
```

##### ArgoCD UI

Open ArgoCD locally:

https://cnoe.localtest.me:8443/argocd

![alt text](image.png)

Next find the provided credentials for ArgoCD (here: argocd-initial-admin-secret):

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/idpbuilder$ ib get secrets
---------------------------
Name: argocd-initial-admin-secret
Namespace: argocd
Data:
  password : 2MoMeW30wSC9EraF

Namespace: gitea
Data:
  password : LI$T?o>N{-<|{^dm$eTg*gni1(2:Y0@q344yqQIS
  username : giteaAdmin
```

In ArgoCD you will see the deployed three applications of the core package:

### Second run: Append 'package1' from the CNOE-stacks repo

CNOE provides example packages in `https://github.com/cnoe-io/stacks.git`. Having cloned this repo you can locally refer to theses packages:

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/cnoe-stacks$ git remote -v
origin  https://github.com/cnoe-io/stacks.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/cnoe-io/stacks.git (push)

### Third run: Finally we append 'ref-implementation' from the CNOE-stacks repo

We finally append the so called ['reference-implementation'](https://cnoe.io/docs/reference-implementation/integrations/reference-impl), which provides a real basic IDP:

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/cnoe-stacks$ ib create --use-path-routing -p ref-implementation
```

##### ArgoCD applications

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~$ k get applications -A

##### ArgoCD UI

ArgoCD shows all provissioned applications:

##### Keycloak UI

In our cluster there is also keycloak as IAM provisioned.  
Login into Keycloak with 'cnoe-admin' and the KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD.

These credentails are defined in the package:

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/cnoe-stacks$ cat ref-implementation/keycloak/manifests/keycloak-config.yaml | grep -i admin
  group-admin-payload.json: |
    {"name":"admin"}
          "/admin"
              ADMIN_PASSWORD=$(cat /var/secrets/KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD)
                --data-urlencode "username=cnoe-admin" \
                --data-urlencode "password=${ADMIN_PASSWORD}" \
```

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/cnoe-stacks$ ib get secrets
---------------------------
Name: argocd-initial-admin-secret
Namespace: argocd

  password : 2MoMeW30wSC9EraF

  POSTGRES_USER : keycloak
  USER_PASSWORD : Kd+0+/BqPRAvnLPZO-L2o/6DoBrzUeMsr29U
```

##### Backstage UI

As Backstage login you either can use the 'user1' with `USER_PASSWORD : Kd+0+/BqPRAvnLPZO-L2o/6DoBrzUeMsr29U` or you create a new user in keycloak

![](image-6.png)

We create user 'ipcei' and also set a password (in tab 'Credentials'):

![alt text](image-7.png)

Now we can log into backstage (rember: you could have already existing usr 'user1'):

![alt text](image-8.png)

and see the basic setup of the Backstage portal:

![alt text](image-9.png)

### Use a Golden Path: 'Basic Deployment'

Now we want to use the Backstage portal as a developer. We create in Backstage our own platform based activity by using the golden path template 'Basic Deployment:

![alt text](image-10.png)

When we run it, we see 'golden path activities'

![alt text](image-11.png)

which finally result in a new catalogue entry:

![alt text](image-12.png)

#### Software development lifecycle

When we follow the 'view source' link we are directly linked to the git repo of our newly created application:

![alt text](image-13.png)

Check it out by cloning into a local git repo (watch the GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true env setting):

```bash
stl@ubuntu-vpn:~/git/mms/idp-temporary$ GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://cnoe.localtest.me:8443/gitea/giteaAdmin/basicdeployment.git

#### Edit and change

Change some things, like the decription and the replicas:

#### Push

Push your changes, use the giteaAdmin user to authenticate:

#### Wait for gitops magic: deployment into the 'production' cluster

Next wait a bit until Gitops does its magic and our 'wanted' state in the repo gets automatically deployed to the 'production' cluster:

### What comes next?

The showtime of CNOE high level behaviour and usage scenarios is now finished. We setup an initial IDP and used a backstage golden path to init and deploy a simple application.

[Last not least](../conclusio/) we want to sum up the whole way from Devops to 'Frameworking' (is this the correct wording???)
