devopsgen validate

Name: DevOpsGen
Author: Bangkah

Statically lint DevOpsGen output — Dockerfiles, GitHub Actions workflows and Kubernetes manifests — so problems surface on your laptop instead of pipeline number forty.

devopsgen validate passing with the message internal validation passed and exit code 0 — Everything checks out — exit code 0.

synopsis

devopsgen validate [flags]          # validate the current project
devopsgen validate --output-dir ./configs

What it checks

Docker

FROM instruction is present
no docker login (credentials) inside image builds
COPY/ADD free of shell chaining (&&, ||, 2>/dev/null)

GitHub Actions

parses as a single workflow document with name, on, jobs and steps
a actions/checkout step exists
the image push references the commit SHA tag
no unrendered template actions leak into the output

Kubernetes

Deployment: selector ↔ template label consistency, unique container names, integer containerPort in 1–65535
Service: selector plus port/targetPort pairs
Ingress: networking.k8s.io/v1, valid pathType, wired backend.service
Service ↔ Ingress backends stay consistent

Exit behaviour

0 — all documents passed.
4 — a document failed lint rules, does not parse, or required artifacts are missing.
1 — the output directory itself could not be read.
2 — malformed input (invalid flags).

Combine with devopsgen init in CI: generate, commit, validate, deploy — the exit codes page maps every failure class.
