Installation on kubernetes

This tutorial is also available in the following languages:

Installation​

Using Helm​

Here, you'll find a helmchart to install it on Kubernetes: https://gitlab.comwork.io/oss/cwcloud/cwcloud-helm

  • The field db.password is optional, it's creating a ${releaseName}-cwcloud-chart-db-env-secret with the POSTGRES_PASSWORD key. If you want to use something like vault or sealedsecret, you have to create a secret with this name and containing this key.
  • If you prefer to use an external database, you can set the flag db.enabled to false.
  • In order to enable ingress for the api you have to set the flag api.ingress.enabled to true.
  • In order to enable ingress for the ui you have to set the flag ui.ingress.enabled to true.
  • If you want to enable opentelemetry with the API, you have to set the flag otel.enabled to true and replace the endpoint with otel.endpoint.

Using the CLI​

You can also directly use the CLI (if you need to install it first, go read this tutorial) like this:

cwc bootstrap

Note: the CLI will install on the cluster you're already connected via the ~/.kube/config file.

There's some optional flags available:

Quelques options supplémentaires sont disponibles :

cwc boostrap --openshift # if you're installing on openshift
cwc bootstrap --keepdir # if you want to keep the downloaded helm directory
cwc bootstrap --values my-values.yaml # if you need to override the default helm values
cwc bootstrap --namespace cwc # if you want to change the namespace
cwc bootstrap --recreate-ns # if you want to delete and recreate the namespace
cwc bootstrap --recreate-ns --openshift # if you want to use oc instead of kubectl

If you want to uninstall:

cwc bootstrap uninstall
cwc bootstrap uninstall --force # force delete all resources like pods, deployments...
cwc bootstrap uninstall --force --openshift # if you want to use oc instead of kubectl

Then, in order to access to the services:

cwc bootstrap pfw
cwc bootstrap pfw --openshift # if you want to use oc instead of kubectl

You'll be able to open access to the GUI through a web browser using this URL: http://localhost:3000

The default account is:

  • User: sre-devops@comwork.io
  • Password: cloud456
