Defining your Custom Config

Now that you have a custom component config we change the config/manager/controller_manager_config.yaml to use the new GVK you defined.

project/config/manager/controller_manager_config.yaml


apiVersion: controller-runtime.sigs.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: ControllerManagerConfig
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/name: controllermanagerconfig
    app.kubernetes.io/instance: controller-manager-configuration
    app.kubernetes.io/component: manager
    app.kubernetes.io/created-by: project
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: project
    app.kubernetes.io/managed-by: kustomize
health:
  healthProbeBindAddress: :8081
metrics:
  bindAddress: 127.0.0.1:8080
webhook:
  port: 9443
leaderElection:
  leaderElect: true
  resourceName: 80807133.tutorial.kubebuilder.io
clusterName: example-test

This type uses the new ProjectConfig kind under the GVK config.tutorial.kubebuilder.io/v2, with these custom configs we can add any yaml serializable fields that your controller needs and begin to reduce the reliance on flags to configure your project.
