### Limits of Kubeconform validation
Kubeconform, similarly to kubeval, only validates manifests using the OpenAPI specifications. In some
cases, the Kubernetes controllers might perform additional validation - so that manifests passing kubeval
validation would still error when being deployed. See for example these bugs against kubeval:
[#253](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/issues/253)
[#256](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/issues/256)
[#257](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/issues/257)
[#259](https://github.com/instrumenta/kubeval/issues/259). The validation logic mentioned in these
bug reports is not part of Kubernetes' OpenAPI spec, and therefore kubeconform/kubeval will not detect the
configuration errors.
`Kubeconform`, similar to `kubeval`, only validates manifests using the official Kubernetes OpenAPI specifications. The Kubernetes controllers still perform additional server-side validations that are not part of the OpenAPI specifications. Those server-side validations are not covered by `Kubeconform` (examples: [#65](https://github.com/yannh/kubeconform/issues/65), [#122](https://github.com/yannh/kubeconform/issues/122), [#142](https://github.com/yannh/kubeconform/issues/142)). You can use a 3rd-party tool or the `kubectl --dry-run=server` command to fill the missing (validation) gap.

### Overriding schemas location - CRD and Openshift support
### Proxy support
When the `-schema-location` parameter is not used, or set to "default", kubeconform will default to downloading
schemas from `https://github.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema`. Kubeconform however supports passing one, or multiple,
`Kubeconform` will respect the **HTTPS_PROXY** variable when downloading schema files.
```bash
$ HTTPS_PROXY=proxy.local bin/kubeconform fixtures/valid.yaml
```
## Overriding schemas location
When the `-schema-location` parameter is not used, or set to `default`, kubeconform will default to downloading
schemas from https://github.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema. Kubeconform however supports passing one, or multiple,
schemas locations - HTTP(s) URLs, or local filesystem paths, in which case it will lookup for schema definitions
in each of them, in order, stopping as soon as a matching file is found.
* If the -schema-location value does not end with '.json', Kubeconform will assume filenames / a file
structure identical to that of kubernetesjsonschema.dev or github.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema.
* if the -schema-location value ends with '.json' - Kubeconform assumes the value is a Go templated
string that indicates how to search for JSON schemas.
* the -schema-location value of "default" is an alias for https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema/master/{{ .NormalizedKubernetesVersion }}-standalone{{ .StrictSuffix }}/{{ .ResourceKind }}{{ .KindSuffix }}.json.
Both following command lines are equivalent:
```
$ ./bin/kubeconform fixtures/valid.yaml
$ ./bin/kubeconform -schema-location default fixtures/valid.yaml
$ ./bin/kubeconform -schema-location 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema/master/{{ .NormalizedKubernetesVersion }}-standalone{{ .StrictSuffix }}/{{ .ResourceKind }}{{ .KindSuffix }}.json' fixtures/valid.yaml
```
To support validating CRDs, we need to convert OpenAPI files to JSON schema, storing the JSON schemas
in a local folder - for example schemas. Then we specify this folder as an additional registry to lookup:
* If the `-schema-location` value does not end with `.json`, Kubeconform will assume filenames / a file
structure identical to that of [kubernetesjsonschema.dev](https://kubernetesjsonschema.dev/) or [yannh/kubernetes-json-schema](https://github.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema).
* if the `-schema-location` value ends with `.json` - Kubeconform assumes the value is a **Go templated
string** that indicates how to search for JSON schemas.
* the `-schema-location` value of `default` is an alias for `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema/master/{{.NormalizedKubernetesVersion}}-standalone{{.StrictSuffix}}/{{.ResourceKind}}{{.KindSuffix}}.json`.
**The following command lines are equivalent:**
```bash
$ kubeconform fixtures/valid.yaml
$ kubeconform -schema-location default fixtures/valid.yaml
$ kubeconform -schema-location 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yannh/kubernetes-json-schema/master/{{.NormalizedKubernetesVersion}}-standalone{{.StrictSuffix}}/{{.ResourceKind}}{{.KindSuffix}}.json' fixtures/valid.yaml
```
# If the resource Kind is not found in kubernetesjsonschema.dev, also lookup in the schemas/ folder for a matching file
$ ./bin/kubeconform -schema-location default -schema-location 'schemas/{{ .ResourceKind }}{{ .KindSuffix }}.json' fixtures/custom-resource.yaml
```
You can validate Openshift manifests using a custom schema location. Set the OpenShift version to validate
against using -kubernetes-version.
```
bin/kubeconform -kubernetes-version 3.8.0 -schema-location 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/garethr/openshift-json-schema/master/{{ .NormalizedKubernetesVersion }}-standalone{{ .StrictSuffix }}/{{ .ResourceKind }}.json' -summary fixtures/valid.yaml
Summary: 1 resource found in 1 file - Valid: 1, Invalid: 0, Errors: 0 Skipped: 0
```
Here are the variables you can use in -schema-location:
* *NormalizedKubernetesVersion* - Kubernetes Version, prefixed by v
* *StrictSuffix* - "-strict" or "" depending on whether validation is running in strict mode or not
* *ResourceKind* - Kind of the Kubernetes Resource
* *ResourceAPIVersion* - Version of API used for the resource - "v1" in "apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1"
* *Group* - the group name as stated in this resource's definition - "monitoring.coreos.com" in "apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1"
* *KindSuffix* - suffix computed from apiVersion - for compatibility with Kubeval schema registries
* *KindSuffix* - suffix computed from apiVersion - for compatibility with `Kubeval` schema registries
### Converting an OpenAPI file to a JSON Schema
### CustomResourceDefinition (CRD) Support
Kubeconform uses JSON schemas to validate Kubernetes resources. For Custom Resource, the CustomResourceDefinition
Because Custom Resources (CR) are not native Kubernetes objects, they are not included in the default schema.
If your CRs are present in [Datree's CRDs-catalog](https://github.com/datreeio/CRDs-catalog), you can specify this project as an additional registry to lookup:
```bash
# Look in the CRDs-catalog for the desired schema/s
$ kubeconform -schema-location default -schema-location 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/datreeio/CRDs-catalog/main/{{.Group}}/{{.ResourceKind}}_{{.ResourceAPIVersion}}.json' [MANIFEST]
```
If your CRs are not present in the CRDs-catalog, you will need to manually pull the CRDs manifests from your cluster and convert the `OpenAPI.spec` to JSON schema format.
<details><summary>Converting an OpenAPI file to a JSON Schema</summary>
<p>
`Kubeconform` uses JSON schemas to validate Kubernetes resources. For Custom Resource, the CustomResourceDefinition
first needs to be converted to JSON Schema. A script is provided to convert these CustomResourceDefinitions
to JSON schema. Here is an example how to use it:
```
$ ./scripts/openapi2jsonschema.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/amazon-sagemaker-operator-for-k8s/master/config/crd/bases/sagemaker.aws.amazon.com_trainingjobs.yaml
```bash
$ python ./scripts/openapi2jsonschema.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/amazon-sagemaker-operator-for-k8s/master/config/crd/bases/sagemaker.aws.amazon.com_trainingjobs.yaml
JSON schema written to trainingjob_v1.json
```
The `FILENAME_FORMAT` environment variable can be used to change the output file name (Available variables: `kind`, `group`, `version`) (Default: `{kind}_{version}`).
By default, the file name output format is `{kind}_{version}`. The `FILENAME_FORMAT` environment variable can be used to change the output file name (Available variables: `kind`, `group`, `version`):
```
$ export FILENAME_FORMAT='{kind}-{group}-{version}'
@ -227,15 +257,37 @@ $ ./scripts/openapi2jsonschema.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aws/amazon-s
JSON schema written to trainingjob-sagemaker-v1.json
```
Some CRD schemas do not have explicit validation for fields implicitly validated by the Kubernetes API like `apiVersion`, `kind`, and `metadata`, thus additional properties are allowed at the root of the JSON schema by default, if this is not desired the `DENY_ROOT_ADDITIONAL_PROPERTIES` environment variable can be set to any non-empty value.
After converting your CRDs to JSON schema files, you can use `kubeconform` to validate your CRs against them:
### Usage as a Github Action
```
# If the resource Kind is not found in deafult, also lookup in the schemas/ folder for a matching file
$ kubeconform -schema-location default -schema-location 'schemas/{{ .ResourceKind }}{{ .KindSuffix }}.json' fixtures/custom-resource.yaml
```
Kubeconform publishes Docker Images to Github's new Container Registry, ghcr.io. These images

### OpenShift schema Support
You can validate Openshift manifests using a custom schema location. Set the OpenShift version (v3.10.0-4.1.0) to validate
against using `-kubernetes-version`.
```bash
