Possible to set default for oci-image resource?

framework
1

We define an oci-image resource in metadata.yaml like

resources:
  container_image:
    type: oci-image
    description: Container image

We can then deploy our charm like

juju deploy . --resource container_image=busybox

We then end up with a resource file at /var/lib/juju/agents/<unit name>/resources/container_image/content.yaml containing

{'password': '', 'registrypath': 'busybox', 'username': ''}

Is there a keyword, like default, that I can put under the resource in metadata.yaml to bypass the need for providing it at deploy time?

Note: I’m using juju version 2.7.0 and developing with the new python operator framework

The need to specify the OCI image is only necessary when deploying local charms. Charms from the store will include the image definition as a resource which is attached to the charm when uploaded to the store and the charm is published.

Juju resources don’t support default values. If the resource type were a zip file instead of an OCI image, you would still need to specify the resource value when deploying a local copy of the charm.

I suggest using a bundle which does support specifying all resources to be associated with a deployed charm. You can add your preferred image path in there.

hi @lucid

We can attach the resource to the charm like this:

$ charm attach cs:~kelvin.liu/mariadb-0 mysql_image=mariadb

Thanks team! That context has made sense of it.

Can you use the same syntax when doing “charm push”? So for OCI Images it would be:

charm push foo --resource foo-image=footag
