Lighthouse WebUI

This guide will help you install and configure the lighthouse-webui-plugin in your Jenkins X cluster. You can see the Lighthouse Web UI documentation for more details on why you might need to install this optional component.

Installation

Please follow the usual getting started guide for boot and helm 3 first.

Then, open the helmfiles/jx/helmfile.yaml file located in your development environment git repository, and add the following content under the releases section:

- chart: jxgh/lighthouse-webui-plugin
  name: lighthouse-webui-plugin

You should have something like:

namespace: jx
repositories:
- ...
releases:
- chart: jxgh/lighthouse-webui-plugin
  name: lighthouse-webui-plugin
- chart: ...

Don’t worry if your new chart doesn’t have a version field, or a list of values files: these fields will be automatically added later.

Commit and push these changes, and after a few minutes you should see a new lighthouse-webui-plugin pod running in the jx namespace:

$ kubectl get pod -n jx
NAME                                           READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
lighthouse-webui-plugin-696b8c85f9-99hnn       1/1     Running   0          31m

Usage

See the Lighthouse Web UI documentation for how to access it and use it.

Configuration

The configuration is defined in a “values file” stored in the Jenkins X Version Stream.

If you want to change anything from the default configuration, you can either:

• submit a Pull Request if you believe this change is beneficial for everybody
• or create a new values file in your development environment git repositor: values/lighthouse-webui-plugin/values.yaml

If you want to change the default basic auth to OAuth for example, you can read the OAuth guide.
