Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform in existing cluster

Congratulations, your Deckhouse Kubernetes platform is up and running!

Now that you have installed and properly configured Deckhouse, let’s look at what you can do with it.

For access to the in-cluster documentation the deckhouse domain is reserved in accordance with the DNS names template. E.g., for the DNS names template %s.1.2.3.4.sslip.io, the documentation web interface will be available at https://deckhouse.1.2.3.4.sslip.io.

Access to the documentation is restricted via the basic authentication mechanism (additional authentication options are provided in the user-auth module):

  • Login — admin
  • Password was generated automatically. You can find it out by running the command:

    • For Deckhouse 1.46 or newer:

      kubectl -n d8-system exec deploy/deckhouse -- sh -c "deckhouse-controller module values documentation -o json | jq -r '.documentation.internal.auth.password'"
      
      kubectl -n d8-system exec deploy/deckhouse -- sh -c "deckhouse-controller module values documentation -o json | jq -r '.documentation.internal.auth.password'"
    • For Deckhouse 1.45 or older:

      kubectl -n d8-system exec deploy/deckhouse -- sh -c "deckhouse-controller module values deckhouse-web -o json | jq -r '.deckhouseWeb.internal.auth.password'"
      
      kubectl -n d8-system exec deploy/deckhouse -- sh -c "deckhouse-controller module values deckhouse-web -o json | jq -r '.deckhouseWeb.internal.auth.password'"

Sample output...

$ kubectl -n d8-system exec deploy/deckhouse -- sh -c "deckhouse-controller module values documentation -o json | jq -r '.documentation.internal.auth.password'"
