# Building Functions on Cluster with Tekton Pipelines
This guide describes how you can build a Function on Cluster with Tekton Pipelines. The on cluster build is enabled by fetching Function source code from a remote Git repository.
## Prerequisite
1. Install Tekton Pipelines on the cluster. Please refer to [Tekton Pipelines documentation](https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/blob/main/docs/install.md) or run the following command:
```bash
kubectl apply -f https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/pipeline/latest/release.yaml
```
## Enabling a namespace to run Function related Tekton Pipelines
In each namespace that you would like to run Pipelines and deploy a Function you need to create or install the following resources.
1. Install the Git Clone Tekton Task to fetch the Function source code:
```bash
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tektoncd/catalog/master/task/git-clone/0.4/git-clone.yaml
```
2. Install the Functions Buildpacks Tekton Task to be able to build the Function image:
```bash
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/knative-sandbox/kn-plugin-func/main/pipelines/resources/tekton/task/func-buildpacks/0.1/func-buildpacks.yaml
```
3. Install the `kn func` Deploy Tekton Task to be able to deploy the Function on in the Pipeline:
```bash
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/knative-sandbox/kn-plugin-func/main/pipelines/resources/tekton/task/func-deploy/0.1/func-deploy.yaml
```
4. Add permission to deploy on Knative to `default` Service Account: (This is not needed on OpenShift)
```bash
export NAMESPACE=<INSERT_YOUR_NAMESPACE>
kubectl create clusterrolebinding $NAMESPACE:knative-serving-namespaced-admin \
--clusterrole=knative-serving-namespaced-admin --serviceaccount=$NAMESPACE:default
```
## Building a Function on Cluster
1. Create a Function and implement the business logic
```bash
kn func create my-function
```
2. Get a reference to the remote Git repository that will host your Function source code (eg. `https://github.com/my-repo/my-function.git`)
3. Initialize a Git repository in your Function project and add a reference to the remote repo
```bash
cd my-function
git init
git branch -M main
git remote add origin git@github.com:my-repo/my-function.git
```
4. Update the Function configuration in `func.yaml` to enable on cluster builds for the Git repository:
```yaml
build: git # required, specify `git` build type
git:
url: https://github.com/my-repo/my-function.git # required, git repository with the function source code
revision: main # optional, git revision to be used (branch, tag, commit)
# contextDir: myfunction # optional, needed only if the function is not located
# in the repository root folder
```
5. Implement the business logic of your Function, then commit and push changes
```bash
git add .
git commit -a -m "implementing my-function"
git push origin main
```
6. Deploy your Function
```bash
kn func deploy
```
If you are not logged in the container registry referenced in your function configuration,
you will prompted to provide credentials for the remote container registry that hosts the Function image. You should see output similar to the following:
```bash
$ kn func deploy
🕕 Creating Pipeline resources
Please provide credentials for image registry used by Pipeline.
? Server: https://index.docker.io/v1/
? Username: my-repo
? Password: ********
Function deployed at URL: http://test-function.default.svc.cluster.local
```
7. To update your Function, commit and push new changes, then run `kn func deploy` again.
## Uninstall and clean-up
1. In each namespace where Pipelines and Functions were deployed, uninstall following resources:
```bash
export NAMESPACE=<INSERT_YOUR_NAMESPACE>
kubectl delete clusterrolebinding $NAMESPACE:knative-serving-namespaced-admin
kubectl delete task.tekton.dev git-clone
kubectl delete task.tekton.dev func-buildpacks
kubectl delete task.tekton.dev func-deploy
```
2. Uninstall Tekton Pipelines
```bash
kubectl delete -f https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/pipeline/latest/release.yaml
```
