Prerequisites

Before installing PrimeHub, we need to provide a PrimeHub-ready Kubernetes, which should contain

Kubernetes Cluster (1.15+)

PrimeHub is based on Kuberentes. The Kubernetes version 1.15+ is recommended.

Kubectl

kubectl is used to access the cluster. To install kubectl, please follow the instructions

Linux

KUBECTL_VERSION=v1.15.3
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/${KUBECTL_VERSION}/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl
chmod +x ./kubectl
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
kubectl version --client

MacOS

You can use brew to install

brew install kubectl

or below commands

KUBECTL_VERSION=v1.15.3
curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/${KUBECTL_VERSION}/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl
chmod +x ./kubectl
sudo mv ./kubectl /usr/local/bin/kubectl
kubectl version --client

For more details, please see the kubernetes official document.

Helm

PrimeHub is packaged and installed by helm

Currently, we recommend installing helm 2.x. For helm 3.x, we have not tested against this version.

Installation steps:

1. Go to the helm release page (v2.16.1)
2. Download the package for your OS
3. Unpack the package and put the helm binary in you $PATH

Domain name

PrimeHub requires a domain name to access the service

Pure IP address is not allowed because we use kubernetes ingress to route the traffic. A trick is to use the nip.io service to map an IP to a domain name. (e.g., 1.2.3.4.nip.io)

Nginx ingress Controller

Nginx Ingress Controller is used to control the ingress traffic.

Other ingress controllers may work. But the nginx ingress controller is the solution we develop on.

Dynamic Volume Provisioner

Dynamic Volume Provisioner is used to provision a PVC dynamically. Make sure that there is a storage class using this provisioner.

Cert Manager (Optional)

If https is required in your environment, cert-manager provides an easy way to set up a certificate.
