:::note[Note]
[Capacitor](https://fluxcd.io/blog/2024/02/introducing-capacitor/) was created by FluxCD the repo and Kustomization file were pulled from that link. Please reference that document to gain more contenxt and understanding of how it works.
:::
## Prerequisites
- Having a running Kubernetes cluster
- Bootstrapped fluxcd
- Knowledge on how to add charts/kubernetes resources with fluxcd
- Usage of an ingress to make the webhook accessible from outside your network
## Initial Setup
- Create a new folder called `capacitor` inside the `flux-system` folder.
- Update the `kustomization.yaml` file in `flux-system` with `- capacitor`
- Next we will need 3 files inside the capacitor folder:
capacitor.yaml
```yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1
kind: Kustomization
metadata:
name: capacitor
namespace: flux-system
spec:
targetNamespace: flux-system
interval: 1h
retryInterval: 2m
timeout: 5m
wait: true
prune: true
path: "./"
sourceRef:
kind: OCIRepository
name: capacitor
```
ingress.yaml
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: capacitor
namespace: flux-system
annotations:
cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: domain-0-le-prod # use what you have configured for your ingress
cert-manager.io/private-key-rotation-policy: Always
spec:
ingressClassName: internal
rules:
- host: capacitor.${DOMAIN_0} # use what you have configured for your ingress
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: /
backend:
service:
name: capacitor
port:
number: 9000
tls:
- hosts:
- capacitor.${DOMAIN_0} # use what you have configured for your ingress
secretName: capacitor-tls-0 # use what you have configured for your ingress
```
kustomization.yaml
``` yaml
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- capacitor.yaml
- ingress.yaml
```
## Add The Repository
Go to your `Reponsitories/oci` directory and create this file.
capacitor-manifests.yaml
``` yaml
apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta2
kind: OCIRepository
metadata:
name: capacitor
namespace: flux-system
spec:
interval: 12h
url: oci://ghcr.io/gimlet-io/capacitor-manifests
ref:
semver: ">=0.1.0"
```
Update the kustomization.yaml in oci to include `- capacitor-manifests.yaml`
## Finishing Steps
Reoncile your cluster.
``` shell
flux reconcile source git cluster
```
