Creating a trigger for Container Registry that sends messages to WebSocket connections

Written by
Updated at October 17, 2024

Create a trigger for Container Registry to send messages to WebSocket connections when you create or delete Container Registry Docker images or Docker image tags.

Getting started

To create a trigger, you need:

  • API gateway. Messages will be sent to WebSocket connections connected to the API gateway. If you do not have an API gateway, create one.

  • Service account with the api-gateway.websocketBroadcaster role. If you do not have a service account, create one.

Creating a trigger

Note

The trigger is initiated within 5 minutes of being created.

  1. In the management console, select the folder where you want to create a trigger.

  2. Open API Gateway.

  3. In the left-hand panel, select Triggers.

  4. Click Create trigger.

  5. Under Basic settings:

    • Enter a name and description for the trigger.
    • In the Type field, select Container Registry.
    • In the Launched resource field, select API gateway.

  6. Under Container Registry settings:

    • In the Registry field, select the registry where you want to create a trigger for image events.
    • In the Event types field, select the events that will fire the trigger.
    • (Optional) In the Docker image name field, enter an image name for filtering. To find out the Docker image name, get a list of Docker images in the registry.
    • (Optional) In the Docker image tag field, enter the image tag for filtering.

  7. Under Batch message settings, specify:

    • Event batch size. The values may range from 1 to 1,000. The default value is 1.
    • Maximum wait time. The values may range from 1 to 60 seconds. The default value is 1 second.

    The trigger groups events for a period not exceeding the specified wait time and sends them to WebSocket connections. The number of events cannot exceed the specified batch size.

  8. Under API gateway settings:

    • In the API gateway field, select the API gateway.
    • In the Path field, specify the path in the OpenAPI specification. Messages will be sent through WebSocket connections established using this path.
    • In the Service account field, select the service account to send messages to WebSocket connections.

  9. Click Create trigger.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To create a trigger that sends messages to WebSocket connections, run this command:

yc serverless trigger create container-registry \
  --name <trigger_name> \
  --registry-id <registry_ID> \
  --events 'create-image','delete-image','create-image-tag','delete-image-tag' \
  --batch-size <batch_size> \
  --batch-cutoff <maximum_wait_time> \
  --gateway-id <API_gateway_ID> \
  --gateway-websocket-broadcast-path <path> \
  --gateway-websocket-broadcast-service-account-id <service_account_ID>

Where:

  • --name: Trigger name.
  • --registry-id: Registry ID.
  • --events: Events activating the trigger.
  • --batch-size: Event batch size. This is an optional parameter. The values may range from 1 to 1,000. The default value is 1.
  • --batch-cutoff: Maximum wait time. This is an optional parameter. The values may range from 1 to 60 seconds. The default value is 1 second. The trigger groups events for a period not exceeding batch-cutoff and sends them to WebSocket connections. The number of events cannot exceed batch-size.
  • --gateway-id: API gateway ID.
  • --gateway-websocket-broadcast-path: Path in the OpenAPI specification. Messages will be sent through WebSocket connections established using this path.
  • --gateway-websocket-broadcast-account-id: Service account ID with permissions to send messages to WebSocket connections.

Result:

status: ACTIVE

To create a trigger for Container Registry, use the create REST API method for the Trigger resource or the TriggerService/Create gRPC API call.

Checking the result

Check that the trigger operates correctly. Do it by viewing the API gateway logs that present information about its incoming requests.
