= About hooks for {project-short} migration plans

You can add hooks to {project-first} migration plans using either the {project-short} CLI or the {project-short} user interface, which is located in the {ocp} web console.

* _Pre-migration_ hooks are hooks that perform operations on a VM that is located on a provider. This prepares the VM for migration.
* _Post-migration_ hooks are hooks that perform operations on a VM that has migrated to {virt}.
[id="default-hook-image_{context}"]
== Default hook image
The default hook image for an {project-short} hook is `quay.io/konveyor/hook-runner`. The image is based on the Ansible Runner image with the addition of `python-openshift` to provide Ansible Kubernetes resources and a recent `oc` binary.

[id="hook-execution_{context}"]
== Hook execution
An Ansible playbook that is provided as part of a migration hook is mounted into the hook container as a `ConfigMap`. The hook container is run as a job on the desired cluster, using the default `ServiceAccount` in the `konveyor-forklift` namespace.

@mnecas @matthewsecaur comments: The text says: "The hook container is run as a job on the desired cluster, using the default ServiceAccount in the konveyor-forklift namespace"
Issue: MTV is not installed in the konveyor-forklift namespace. It is installed in openshift-mtv. Also, the default serviceAccount is forklift-controller, though it might not be necessary to mention that.


When you add a hook, you must specify the namespace where the `Hook` CR is located, the name of the hook, and whether the hook is a pre-migration hook or a post-migration hook.

[IMPORTANT]
====
In order for a hook to run on a VM, the VM must be started and available using SSH.
====

The illustration that follows shows the general process of using a migration hook. For specific procedures, see xref:adding-migration-hook-via-ui_{context}[Adding a migration hook to a migration plan using the {ocp} web console] and xref:adding-migration-hook-via-cli_{context}[Adding a migration hook to a migration plan using the CLI].

.Adding a hook to a migration plan
image::migration_hook_process.png[Adding a hook to a migration plan]

*Process:*

. Input your Ansible hook and credentials.

.. Input an Ansible hook image to the {project-short} controller using either the UI or the CLI.
+
* In the UI, specify the `ansible-runner` and enter the `playbook.yml` that contains the hook.
* In the CLI, input the hook image, which specifies the playbook that runs the hook.

.. If you need additional data to run the playbook inside the pod, such as SSH data, create a Secret that contains credentials for the VM. The Secret is not mounted to the pod, but is called by the playbook.
+
[NOTE]
====
This Secret is not the same as the `Secret` CR that contains the credentials of your source provider.
====

. The {project-short} controller creates the `ConfigMap`, which contains:

** `workload.yml`, which contains information about the VMs.
** `playbook.yml`, the raw string playbook you want to execute.
** `plan.yml`, which is the `Plan` CR.
+
The `ConfigMap` contains the name of the VM and instructs the playbook what to do.

. The {project-short} controller creates a job that starts the user specified image.
.. Mounts the `ConfigMap` to the container.
+
The Ansible hook imports the Secret that the user previously entered.
. The job runs a pre-migration hook or a post-migration hook as follows:

.. For a pre-migration hook, the job logs into the VMs on the source provider using SSH and runs the hook.
.. For a post-migration hook, the job logs into the VMs on {virt} using SSH and runs the hook.

= Adding a migration hook to a migration plan using the CLI

You can use a `Hook` CR to add a pre-migration hook or a post-migration hook to an existing migration plan using the {project-first} CLI.

For example, you can create a `Hook` CR to install the `cloud-init` service on a VM and write a file before migration.

[NOTE]
====
You can run one pre-migration hook, one post-migration hook, or one of each per migration plan. Each hook needs its own `Hook` needs its own CR, but a `Plan` CR contains data for all the hooks it uses.
====

[NOTE]
====
You can retrieve additional information stored in a secret or in a `ConfigMap` by using a `k8s` module.
====

.Prerequisites

* Migration plan
* Migration hook image or the playbook containing the hook image

[NOTE]
====
You can run one pre-migration hook, one post-migration hook, or one of each per migration plan.
====

* File containing the Secret for the source provider
* {ocp} service account that has at least write access for the namespace you are working in
* SSH access for VMs you want to migrate with the public key installed on the VMs
* VMs running on Microsoft Server only: Remote Execution enabled

.Procedure
. If needed, create a Secret with an SSH private key for the VM.
.. Choose an existing key or generate a key pair.
.. Install the public key on the VM.
.. Encode the private key in the Secret to base64.
+
[source,yaml]
----
apiVersion: v1
data:
key: VGhpcyB3YXMgZ2Vu...
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: ssh-credentials
namespace: konveyor-forklift
type: Opaque
----
. Encode your playbook by concatenating a file and piping it for base64, for example:
+
[source,shell]
----
$ cat playbook.yml | base64 -w0
----
+
[NOTE]
====
You can also use a `here` document to add instructions to encode a playbook inside a larger command:

[source,shell]
----
$ cat << EOF | base64 -w0
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- debug:
msg: test
EOF

@mnecas Do you have a better way to explain what a 'here" document is? Is this note actually needed/useful for our users?

. Create a Hook CR:
+
[source,yaml,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ cat << EOF | {oc} apply -f -
apiVersion: forklift.konveyor.io/v1beta1
kind: Hook
metadata:
name: <hook>
namespace: <namespace>
spec:
image: quay.io/konveyor/hook-runner
playbook: |
LS0tCi0gbm...
EOF
----
+
where:
+
`playbook` refers to an optional Base64-encoded Ansible Playbook. If you specify a playbook, the `image` must be `hook-runner`.

@mnecas @matthewsecaur comments:
If we're going to create a Hook CR here, then we may as well have the user put the serviceAccount in now, instead of creating the hook and then adding the SA later. In fact, I don't see any mention of the serviceAccount in the CLI-based instructions. This is required for Console-based and CLI-based hooks.
The example command for decoding a playbook from a hook uses the "konveyor-forklift" namespace, but MTV is installed in "openshift-mtv"
Same as earlier, the text says "If you specify a playbook, the image must be hook-runner", but that isn't necessarily true. You can use a custom image and a playbook.

[NOTE]
====
You can use the default `hook-runner` image or specify a custom image. If you specify a custom image, you do not have to specify a playbook.
====
+
[NOTE]
====
To decode an attached playbook, retrieve the resource with custom output and pipe it to base64. For example:
[source,shell]
----
oc get -n konveyor-forklift hook playbook -o \
go-template='{{ .spec.playbook }}' | base64 -d
----
====
+
. In the `Plan` CR of the migration, for each VM, add the following section to the end of the CR:
+
[source,yaml]
----
vms:
- id: <vm_id>
hooks:
- hook:
namespace: <namespace>
name: <name_of_hook>
step: <type_of_hook> <1>
----
<1> Options are `PreHook`, to run the hook before the migration, and `PostHook`, to run the hook after the migration.

[IMPORTANT]
====
In order for a PreHook to run on a VM, the VM must be started and available via SSH.

= Adding a migration hook to a migration plan using the {ocp} web console

You can add a migration hook to an existing migration plan using the {ocp} web console. Note that you need to run one command in the {project-first} CLI.

.Prerequisites

* Migration plan
* Migration hook file, whose contents you copy and paste into the web console
[NOTE]
====
You can run one pre-migration hook, one post-migration hook, or one of each per migration plan.
====

* File containing the `Secret` for the source provider
* {ocp} service account that has at least write access for the namespace you are working in
* SSH access for VMs you want to migrate with the public key installed on the VMs
* VMs running on Microsoft Server only: Remote Execution enabled
.Procedure

. In the {ocp} web console, click *Migration* > *Plans for virtualization* and then click the migration plan you want to add the hook to.
. Click *Hooks*.
. For a pre-migration hook, perform the following steps:

.. In the *Pre migration hook* section, toggle the *Enable hook* switch to *Enable pre migration hook*.
.. Enter the *Hook runner image*. The default image is `quay.io/konveyor/hook-runner` and this value must be used if you are adding an Ansible playbook.

The text says: "Enter the Hook runner image. The default image is quay.io/konveyor/hook-runner and this value must be used if you are adding an Ansible playbook."
Issue: I don't understand what we mean when we say "this value must be used if you are adding and Ansible playbook". Customers are free to use their own image, are they not? I suppose their custom image could be based on the default hook-runner image, by why do we say is MUST be used? Here is an example of a custom hook-runner image that can be used with a playbook: https://github.com/alezzandro/aap25-ee-vmware-rhel8/tree/main/hook-runner

.. Paste your hook as a YAML file in the *Ansible playbook* text box.

. For a post-migration hook, perform the following steps:

.. In the *Post migration hook*, toggle the *Enable hook* switch *Enable post migration hook*..
.. Enter the *Hook runner image*. The default image is `quay.io/konveyor/hook-runner` and this value must be used if you are adding an Ansible playbook.
.. Paste your hook as a YAML file in the *Ansible playbook* text box.

. At the top of the tab, click *Update hooks*.
. In a terminal, enter the following command to associate each hook with your {ocp} service account:
+
[source,terminal,subs="attributes+"]
----
$ oc -n openshift-mtv patch hook <name_of_hook> \
-p '{"spec":{"serviceAccount":"<service_account>"}}' --type merge

@mnecas @matthewsecaur notes:
Issue: The command is correct, but we don't go into any detail about how to create the serviceAccount. It is mentioned in the Prerequisites, so I suppose that is sufficient, but should there be some additional text? Perhaps instead of "associate each hook with your Red Hat OpenShift service account", we could say "associate each hook with the Red Hat OpenShift service account that was created for running hooks" or similar?

The example migration hook that follows ensures that the VM can be accessed using SSH, creates an SSH key, and runs 2 tasks: stopping the Maria database and generating a text file.
