Install Resoto with Kubernetes

Kubernetes is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Prerequisites

• Helm (version 3 or above)

• kubectl

• Kubernetes cluster (kind or minikube should work as well)

• At least 2 CPU cores and 8 GB of RAM

  note

  Resoto performs CPU-intensive graph operations. In a production setup, we recommend at least four cores and 16 gigabytes of RAM. See Configuring Resoto Worker for more information.

Directions

Default Installation

1. Add the Some Engineering Helm chart repository:

   $ helm repo add someengineering https://helm.some.engineering

2. Update cached chart information:

   $ helm repo update

3. Install the resoto chart:

   $ helm install resoto someengineering/resoto --set image.tag=3.6.5

4. Retrieve the PSK from secret.

   This key is required for accessing the Resoto installation via the UI and CLI. These PSK is stored as Kubernetes Secret in resoto-psk. Copy and run the following command to retrieve the PSK:

   kubectl get secret arango-user -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 --decode

Customized Installation

It is possible to customize your Resoto installation using a Helm values file.

1. Create a file resoto-values.yaml with the desired configuration:

   Example configuration that mounts AWS credentials from a Kubernetes Secret

   resotoworker:
     volumeMounts:
       - mountPath: /home/resoto/.aws
         name: aws-credentials
     volumes:
       - name: aws-credentials
         secret:
           secretName: resoto-home
   info

   Configurable values are documented in the Some Engineering Helm Chart Repository.

2. Add the Some Engineering Helm chart repository:

   $ helm repo add someengineering https://helm.some.engineering

3. Update cached chart information:

   $ helm repo update

4. Install the resoto chart with the resoto-values.yaml file:

   $ helm install resoto someengineering/resoto --set image.tag=3.6.5 -f resoto-values.yaml

5. Retrieve the PSK from secret.

   This key is required for accessing the Resoto installation via the UI and CLI. These PSK is stored as Kubernetes Secret in resoto-psk. Copy and run the following command to retrieve the PSK:

   kubectl get secret arango-user -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 --decode

And just like that, you have Resoto running in a Kubernetes cluster!
