The recommended settings for a Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform Enterprise Edition installation are generated below:

  • config.yml — a file with the configuration needed to bootstrap the cluster. Contains the installer parameters, cloud provider related parameters (such as credentials, instance type, etc), and the initial cluster parameters.
  • resources.yml — description of the resources that must be installed after the installation (nodes description, Ingress controller description, etc).

Please pay attention to:

  • highlighted parameters you must define.
  • parameters you might want to change.

Create the config.yml file.

Use a Docker image to install the Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform. It is necessary to transfer configuration files to the container as well as SSH keys for accessing the master node (further, it is assumed that the SSH key ~/.ssh/id_rsa is used).

Run the installer on the personal computer.

Linux / macOS Windows

 echo <LICENSE_TOKEN> | docker login -u license-token --password-stdin registry.deckhouse.io
docker run --pull=always -it -v "$PWD/config.yml:/config.yml" -v "$HOME/.ssh/:/tmp/.ssh/" \
  -v "$PWD/resources.yml:/resources.yml" -v "$PWD/dhctl-tmp:/tmp/dhctl" registry.deckhouse.io/deckhouse/ee/install:stable bash
echo <LICENSE_TOKEN> | docker login -u license-token --password-stdin registry.deckhouse.io docker run --pull=always -it -v "$PWD/config.yml:/config.yml" -v "$HOME/.ssh/:/tmp/.ssh/" \ -v "$PWD/resources.yml:/resources.yml" -v "$PWD/dhctl-tmp:/tmp/dhctl" registry.deckhouse.io/deckhouse/ee/install:stable bash

Log in on the personal computer to the container image registry by providing the license key as a password:

docker login -u license-token registry.deckhouse.io
docker login -u license-token registry.deckhouse.io

Run a container with the installer:

docker run --pull=always -it -v "%cd%\config.yml:/config.yml" -v "%userprofile%\.ssh\:/tmp/.ssh/" -v "%cd%\resources.yml:/resources.yml" -v "%cd%\dhctl-tmp:/tmp/dhctl"  registry.deckhouse.io/deckhouse/ee/install:stable bash -c "chmod 400 /tmp/.ssh/id_rsa; bash"
docker run --pull=always -it -v "%cd%\config.yml:/config.yml" -v "%userprofile%\.ssh\:/tmp/.ssh/" -v "%cd%\resources.yml:/resources.yml" -v "%cd%\dhctl-tmp:/tmp/dhctl" registry.deckhouse.io/deckhouse/ee/install:stable bash -c "chmod 400 /tmp/.ssh/id_rsa; bash"

Now, to initiate the process of installation, you need to execute inside the container:

dhctl bootstrap --ssh-user=ubuntu --ssh-agent-private-keys=/tmp/.ssh/id_rsa --config=/config.yml --resources=/resources.yml
dhctl bootstrap --ssh-user=ubuntu --ssh-agent-private-keys=/tmp/.ssh/id_rsa --config=/config.yml --resources=/resources.yml

The --ssh-user parameter here refers to the default user for the relevant VM image. It is ubuntu for the image suggested in this guide.

If the installation was interrupted...

If the installation was interrupted (there were not enough quotas, network errors, etc.), you can restart it. The installation will continue correctly, no duplicate resources will be created in the cloud.

If the installation failed, and you need to delete the resources created in the cloud, run the following command:

  dhctl bootstrap-phase abort --ssh-user=ubuntu --ssh-agent-private-keys=/tmp/.ssh/id_rsa --config=/config.yml

The installation process may take about from 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the connection.

After the installation is complete, the installer will output the IP of the master node (you will need it further). Example output:

...
┌ 🎈 ~ Common: Kubernetes Master Node addresses for SSH
│ cloud-demo-master-0 | ssh ubuntu@1.2.3.4
└ 🎈 ~ Common: Kubernetes Master Node addresses for SSH (0.00 seconds)

Almost everything is ready for a fully-fledged Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform to work!
