Installation
Prerequisites and Guidelines
- Installation into dedicated kubernetes cluster or namespace is recommended to limit access to Kriten resources for administrators only:
- No other workloads beside Kriten running in cluster/namespace.
- Kubernetes and Helm access restricted to cluster/namespace for administrators only.
- Kubernetes 1.21+
- Helm v3+
Helm install
The Chart can be installed by adding the helm repo to your system.
Kriten can be installed along with local PostgreSQL database (recommended for Dev and UAT environments) or with external PostgreSQL database (recommended for production use).
Kriten supports local authenticator and Microsoft AD authenticator at same time. If no Microsoft AD authenticator enabled and configured, only local authentication will take place.
Helm install with values.yaml modified for target configuration:
Add helm repo
Copy values.yaml (if necessary) and edit myvalues.yaml
helm show values kriten/kriten > myvalues.yaml
Create namespace
kubectl create namespace kriten
Install
helm install -f myvalues.yaml kriten kriten/kriten -n kriten
or
helm install kriten kriten/kriten -n kriten
