Tekton running pipeline via passing parameter - kubernetes

Question

I have a Tekton Pipeline and PipelineRun definitions. But, I couldn't achieve to run Pipeline via passing parameter.
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: PipelineRun
metadata:
generateName: build-deploy-
labels:
tekton.dev/pipeline: build-deploy
spec:
serviceAccountName: tekton-build-bot
pipelineRef:
name: build-deploy
params:
- name: registry-address
value: $(REG_ADDRESS)
- name: repo-address
#value: $(REPO_ADDRESS)
value: $(REPO_ADDRESS)
- name: repo-name
value: $(REPO_NAME)
- name: version
value: $(VERSION)
workspaces:
- name: source
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: my-pvc
How can I pass while parameters while trying to run that runner with following command kubectl create -f pipelinerun.yaml?
Example:
value: $(REG_ADDRESS) -> I wanted to pass registry address as right before the running pipeline instead of giving hard-coded constant.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

You cannot pass those parameters when using kubectl create.
There are two alternatives:
Use tkn cli
You can use tkn, a purpose made CLI for Tekton. Then you can start a run of a Pipeline with, e.g.:
tkn pipeline start build-deploy \
--param registry-address=yay \
--param repo-name=nay \
--workspace name=source,claimName=my-pvc
Initiate pipeline with Trigger
You can setup a Trigger that initiates runs of your Pipeline on certain events, e.g. when you push to Git.
Then your PipelineRun template with parameter mapping is done using a TriggerTemplate
