SonarQube Connector Automatic Creation Tekton Task

A Tekton Task that provisions and maintains a tenant-scoped SonarQube Connector on the cluster in a single run. The Task creates (or reuses) the SonarQube-side identity, scopes the tenant's project keyspace, mints a refreshable user token, and writes the tenant sonarqube Connector plus its token Secret to the target namespace.

The Task is idempotent and safe to schedule on a recurring basis: the user token is refreshed on every run and auto-renewed before expiry.

For the operator walkthrough — prerequisites, onboarding, rotation, and offboarding — see Using the Task.

Installation

The connectors-operator installs only the SonarQube framework (CRDs, RBAC, ConnectorClass, ResourceInterface). The Task itself is user-applied per Tekton catalog convention.

Pick a registry mirror reachable from the cluster and the namespace where you want the Task installed, then apply the manifest below. The generated block is kept in sync from cmd/kodata/connectors-sonarqube-tektoncd/<version>/install.yaml by hack/sync_sonarqube_connector_automatic_creation_task_doc.sh.

  • REGISTRY: the registry that hosts the sonarqube-connector-automatic-creation tool image (and any mirrored catalog images). For example registry.alauda.cn:60070.
  • TARGET_NS: the namespace where you want to install the Task.
export REGISTRY=<your-registry>
export TARGET_NS=<target-namespace>

cat <<'EOF' | envsubst '${REGISTRY} ${TARGET_NS}' | kubectl apply -f -

Notes:

  • The default sonarqubeAutomationImage lives at ${REGISTRY}/devops/sonarqube-connector-automatic-creation:v1.9.0-g8632398. Override the sonarqubeAutomationImage param at TaskRun time for air-gapped clusters or to pin a specific version.
  • The Task pod runs as non-root (runAsUser: 65532) with RuntimeDefault seccomp, no capabilities, and tmpfs-backed state / secrets volumes.

Description

Given a tenant identifier and a project key pattern, the Task:

  1. Creates (or reuses) a dedicated local SonarQube user <tenant>-bot.
  2. Grants that user the global provisioning permission so the tenant can auto-create projects matching its pattern at scan time.
  3. Creates (or reuses) a permission template scoped to the tenant's projectKeyPattern, with project-level permissions (user, codeviewer, scan by default) bound directly to the tenant user — not via any group.
  4. Mints (or reuses) a USER_TOKEN with a configurable validity window (tokenDuration days; default 30).
  5. Writes a tenant sonarqube Connector with tokenAuth plus a matching Secret (connectors.cpaas.io/bearer-token) carrying the freshly-minted token.

Steps 1–3 are write-once; step 4 is reused while the token is still valid and the tenant Secret still holds a non-empty token value.

The Task does not pre-create any SonarQube projects. Projects are auto-created at scan time by the tenant user — the projectKeyPattern on the tenant template is what restricts that auto-creation to the tenant's namespace.

Why a dedicated user (not a group)

SonarQube permission templates can be bound either to a user or to a group. This Task uses the direct-to-user binding. The reason is external-provisioning compatibility: when SCIM / GitHub / GitLab provisioning is enabled on the SonarQube instance, group membership for non-IDP users is wiped on every sync, which would silently revoke the tenant's project permissions. Binding permissions directly to the local tenant user side-steps the group indirection. See Using the Task — Local user creation must be allowed.

Parameters

NameTypeDefaultDescription
connectorstringrequiredTarget tenant SonarQube Connector to create or update, in <namespace>/<name> format (for example acme-prod/acme-sonarqube). The token Secret is created in the same namespace.
tenantstringrequiredTenant identifier. Used to derive default names for the SonarQube user (<tenant>-bot) and permission template (<tenant>-template) when those fields are left empty.
sonarqubeUrlstring""Optional SonarQube server URL (for example https://sonarqube.example.com). When set, overrides the address provided by the sonarqube-config workspace; leave empty to use the workspace value. Useful when the same admin credentials are reused across multiple SonarQube instances.
projectPatternstringrequiredRegular expression matching the tenant project key space (for example ^acme(:.*)?$). Used to scope the permission template so it only applies to this tenant. Must not overlap with patterns used by other tenants.
permissionTemplatestring""Name of the SonarQube permission template to create or reuse. Leave empty to use <tenant>-template.
templatePermissionsarray[user, codeviewer, scan]Project-level permissions granted to the tenant user via the template. Covers Browse, See Source Code, and Execute Analysis. Do not include admin — the tenant could otherwise change project visibility or delete projects.
userNamestring""SonarQube user login to create or reuse. Leave empty to use <tenant>-bot.
tokenDurationstring"30"Validity of the SonarQube user token, in whole days (positive integer). The token is auto-renewed before it expires on each run, so the Task can be scheduled on a recurring basis.
sonarqubeAutomationImagestringregistry.alauda.cn:60070/devops/sonarqube-connector-automatic-creation:v1.9.0-g8632398Tool image used by every step. Override for air-gapped clusters or to pin a specific version.
imagePullPolicystringAlwaysControls when Kubernetes pulls the tool image.
verbosestring"false"Enable verbose logging for debugging. Credentials and tokens are never logged regardless of this flag.

Workspaces

NameRequiredDescription
sonarqube-configyesSonarQube admin access for the Task. Bind to a SonarQube ConnectorClass configuration (recommended) or to a Secret that provides the SonarQube address plus either an admin token or a username/password pair. Credentials are read from the workspace and never appear in the Pod spec, environment variables, or process arguments. See Workspace binding modes below.
kubeconfignoBind to a kubeconfig when the tenant Connector and its Secret need to be applied to a different cluster than the one running the Task. Leave unbound to apply to the current cluster.

Workspace binding modes

The sonarqube-config workspace is auto-detected. Pick the binding that best matches how the admin Connector is exposed in your cluster:

Mode A — Secret-direct (bootstrap / cross-cluster). Bind sonarqube-config to a Secret whose data carries credentials only — one of:

  • token — a SonarQube admin token (recommended), or
  • username + password — admin Basic-auth credentials

Pass the SonarQube base URL via the sonarqubeUrl parameter at TaskRun time. The Task reads the workspace files at runtime and uses curl's --config shape, so the admin credential never appears in the Pod environment or argv. The same Secret can target multiple SonarQube instances by varying the sonarqubeUrl param.

Mode B — Connectors CSI Driver (recommended for the day-2 path). Bind sonarqube-config to a volume projected by the Connectors CSI Driver from the SonarQube sonar-scanner ConnectorClass configuration. The Task reads sonar.host.url plus the sonar.scanner.proxy* routing fields from the projected sonar-project.properties and routes every API call through the Connectors Proxy, which injects the SonarQube Authorization header from the admin Connector. The admin token never lands in the Task pod.

Results

NameDescription
tenantTenant identifier handled by this run.
usernameSonarQube user login created or reused by this run (defaults to <tenant>-bot).
permission-templateSonarQube permission template name created or reused (defaults to <tenant>-template).
token-nameName of the SonarQube user token created or reused by this run. The token value is never emitted as a result — it is written only to the tenant Secret.
connector-refReference of the tenant Connector, in <namespace>/<name> format.

Steps

The Task runs three steps in order:

StepSide-effectsPurpose
ensure-tenantSonarQube Web API + tmpfs state / secretsSonarQube-side preflight + provisioning. Verifies the admin identity holds Administer System (prerequisite P5), then creates/reuses the user, grants provisioning, creates/reuses the permission template with templatePermissions, and mints/reuses the user token. Writes the token to the tmpfs secrets volume. A trap on this step revokes the just-minted token and tears down newly-created template / provisioning grant / user on any non-zero exit.
apply-kubernetes-resourcesKubernetes API on the target clusterCluster-side write. Reads the token from the tmpfs volume and applies the tenant sonarqube Connector + Secret via Server-Side Apply with field manager connector-auto. Applies to the local cluster by default, or to the cluster identified by the kubeconfig workspace when bound.
write-resultsTaskRun result paths + tmpfs cleanupWrites the five Task results from the in-memory state file built by step 1, then clears /workspace/secrets/token so the freshly-minted token does not survive in the Pod's tmpfs beyond the run.

The first step uses tmpfs volumes (emptyDir.medium: Memory) for both state and secrets so credentials never touch the node filesystem.

Failure handling

Failures are scoped per step:

  • ensure-tenant fails. Its trap handler revokes only the token this run minted, and deletes only the template / provisioning grant / user that this run created — anything reused from a prior run is left intact. The TaskRun exits non-zero.
  • apply-kubernetes-resources fails (e.g. SSA rejected, kubeconfig invalid, RBAC missing). The SonarQube side is not rolled back — the user, template, and token remain. The TaskRun exits non-zero; the next run self-heals: it sees user_tokens/search hit but a missing or empty tenant Secret and re-mints + re-applies.
  • write-results fails. SonarQube state and the cluster Secret / Connector are already correct; only the Task results are missing. Re-running is a no-op for the side-effecting state.

Three-path lifecycle summary

The Task collapses three lifecycle paths into the same TaskRun shape:

PathTriggerWhat the Task does
CreateFirst run for the tenant.Creates user, grants provisioning, creates template, mints token, writes Connector + Secret.
Refreshuser_tokens/search finds the named token AND the tenant Secret still carries a non-empty token value, AND neither tokenName nor tokenDuration changed since last run.Reuses the user, template, provisioning grant, and the existing token — no SonarQube-side write. Re-applies the Connector + Secret via SSA (no-op on byte-identical input).
RecreateAny of: user_tokens/search misses, the tenant Secret is missing or empty, tokenName / tokenDuration changed.Reuses the user and template. Revokes the old token if present, then mints a fresh one (expirationDate = today UTC + tokenDuration). Re-applies the Connector + Secret.

Note: the Task does not inspect the token's expirationDate — SonarQube has no token-renew API and the Task does not poll for expiry. If a token in user_tokens/search is expired but still present, the Task treats it as reused; the expiry surfaces at scan time as a 401, and the next Task run (search-hit but Secret retains the dead value) will self-heal only if the operator clears the tenant Secret first. To get pure cadence-driven rotation, schedule the TaskRun on a cron and pair it with a deliberate revoke (see Using the Task — Rotation).

All three paths are driven by the same params and exit with the same results, so the same TaskRun can be scheduled to run on a cron without case-splitting in the caller.

Security notes

  • Admin token never leaves the workspace. The Task reads admin credentials only via the sonarqube-config workspace (curl --config shape, or via the Connectors Proxy in Mode B). The admin token does not appear in any env var, command argument, or Pod spec.
  • Tenant token stored in tmpfs. The freshly-minted token is written to /workspace/secrets/token on a medium: Memory volume, cleared by trap on step exit, and never logged.
  • Pod runs as non-root. runAsUser: 65532, runAsNonRoot: true, allowPrivilegeEscalation: false, all capabilities dropped, seccompProfile: RuntimeDefault.
  • Verbose mode is safe to enable. verbose=true enables shell tracing for the helper scripts, but credentials and tokens are redacted regardless of this flag.
  • Restrict who can trigger the TaskRun. Triggering this Task mints (and rotates) SonarQube tokens and writes Secrets to the target namespace — gate it via Tekton RBAC on TaskRun.create plus workspace access.
