Human Connection
Deploying Human Connection with kubernetes is straight forward. All you have to do is to change certain parameters, like domain names and API keys, then you just apply our provided configuration files to your cluster.
Configuration
Copy our provided templates:
Change the configmap.yaml
as needed, all variables will be available as environment variables in your deployed kubernetes pods.
If you want to edit secrets, you have to base64
encode them. See kubernetes documentation.
Those secrets get base64
decoded and are available as environment variables in your deployed kubernetes pods.
Create a namespace
If you have a kubernets dashboard deployed you should switch to namespace human-connection
in order to monitor the state of your deployments.
Create persistent volumes
While the deployments and services can easily be restored, simply by deleting and applying the kubernetes configurations again, certain data is not that easily recovered. Therefore we separated persistent volumes from deployments and services. There is a dedicated section. Create those persistent volumes once before you apply the configuration.
Apply the configuration
This can take a while because kubernetes will download the docker images. Sit back and relax and have a look into your kubernetes dashboard. Wait until all pods turn green and they don't show a warning Waiting: ContainerCreating
anymore.
