FluxSourceWatcher on Ubuntu 24.04

Flux Source Watcher is an open-source Kubernetes controller for managing source artifacts in GitOps workflows. It continuously monitors multiple sources such as Git repositories, OCI image registries, and storage buckets, and aggregates them into artifacts that Flux CD controllers can reconcile. Designed for Kubernetes environments, it simplifies complex multi-source deployments and enables automated, scalable GitOps workflows for both small teams and enterprise-grade clusters.

Features of Flux Source Watcher:

• Monitors Git repositories, OCI registries, and storage buckets for changes.
• Generates artifacts to be consumed by other Flux CD controllers (e.g., Kustomize, Helm, and Notification controllers).
• Supports automated composition and decomposition of sources for modular and multi-environment deployments.
• Seamless integration with Flux CD toolkit for full GitOps lifecycle management.
• Event-driven reconciliation ensures artifacts are always up-to-date.
• Observability through logs, metrics, and health endpoints.
• Lightweight Kubernetes-native controller with minimal cluster footprint.
• Active open-source project with community-driven development and support.

To access Source Watcher logs and status:

$ kubectl get pods -n flux-system

$ kubectl logs -n flux-system deployment/source-watcher
