Repository Context

Definition

A repository context describes the access to a repository that is used to resolve component version references. It features the following fields:

• type string

  The type of the repository, e.g. ociRegistry.

• type-specific fields

  Additional fields describe attributes to address the dedicated repository instance according to the type.

A repository context is used all over the landscaper objects to resolve component descriptor references. It can be specified either directly in Installations or in Context objects referenced by Installations.

A repository context is typically described by a field repositoryContext in objects referring to a such a context.

Supported Types

A component repository based on an OCI registry is described by the following additional fields:

• baseUrl host URL

• subPath string (optional)

• componentNameMapping string (optional)

  To support OCI registries with a limitation for repository names, there are several modes to map component names to OCI artifact repositories:

  • urlPath (default)

    Join subPath and component name.

  • sha256-digest

    Encode the component name with a sha256 digest, appended to the subPath.
