Installing DKube

Detailed instructions on installing Helm are available at Installing Helm

Note

It may be ncessary to append “sudo” to the commands

The installation should be performed from the $HOME/.dkube folder.

Getting the Helm Files

export KUBECONFIG=kubeconfig
kubectl get nodes
helm repo add dkube-helm https://oneconvergence.github.io/dkube-helm
helm repo update
helm show values dkube-helm/dkube-deployer | sudo bash -c 'cat - > values.yaml'

Important

If the kubectl command is not successful, do not continue with the installation. This must function properly for the installation to succeed.

Important

Helm expects that the kubeconfig has a permission of 0600. If Helm provides a security error message, you can eliminate it by using the “chmod 0600 kubeconfig” command.

Express Installation

This section describes a quick installation with a set of simple, pre-configured options. If these options are not right, go to the section on advanced installation options at Advanced Installation Options

The Helm command for the express installation is:

helm install <Release Name> dkube-helm/dkube-deployer \ --set EULA=yes \ --set wipedata=yes \ --set provider=<Platform type> \ --set version=<DKube Version> \ --set username=<Username> \ --set password=<Password> \ --set optional.storage.node=<Node Name> \ --set registry.username=<Docker Username> \ --set registry.password=<Docker Password> --set minimal=no \ --set modelmonitor=false
