Install Hostpath-provisioner

Hostpath-provisioner is a Kubernetes component. It allows you to dynamically allocate storage for StatefulSets, which provides management for apps that require saving data between restarts.

Installation consists of three steps:

  1. Download the Helm chart and configuration file.
  2. Fill out the configuration file.
  3. Install the hostpath-provisioner chart using Helm in a Kubernetes cluster.

Step 1: Download the Helm chart and configuration file

To install via the internet, obtain the values-hostpath-provisioner.yaml configuration file by executing the command:

helm repo add elma365 https://charts.elma365.tech
helm repo update
helm show values elma365/hostpath-provisioner > values-hostpath-provisioner.yaml

Obtaining the configuration file for installation in a closed loop without internet access

  1. On a computer with internet access, download the latest version archive of the hostpath-provisioner chart from the BRIX repository. To do this, execute the following command:

helm repo add elma365 https://charts.elma365.tech
helm repo update
helm pull elma365/ hostpath-provisioner

  1. Copy the downloaded chart archive hostpath-provisioner-X.Y.Z.tgz onto the server where the installation will take place.
  2. Unpack this chart and copy the default configuration file values.yaml to values-hostpath-provisioner.yaml:

tar -xf hostpath-provisioner-X.Y.Z.tgz
cp hostpath-provisioner/values.yaml values-hostpath-provisioner.yaml

Step 2: Fill out the configuration file

Fill out the values-hostpath-provisioner.yaml configuration file for the Hostpath-provisioner installation:

## hostpath-provisioner settings
hostpath-provisioner:
## selectors to run on specific nodes
  nodeSelector: {}
  affinity: {}
  tolerations: []

Filling in the connection parameters to the private registry for installation in a closed loop without internet access

  1. Download the BRIX images and upload them to your local image registry. Read more about this in Download BRIX images.
  2. Set the address and path for the image.registry and image.repository parameters.
  3. Indicate the name of the secret with access rights to the private registry in the imagePullSecrets parameter. The secret must be created manually and encrypted in Base64.

  tag: "v0.2.5"

Step 3: Install the hostpath-provisioner chart using Helm in a Kubernetes cluster

Install the hostpath-provisioner chart in the hostpath-provisioner namespace.

For online installation:

helm upgrade --install hostpath-provisioner elma365/hostpath-provisioner -f values-hostpath-provisioner.yaml -n kube-system

For offline installation without internet access, navigate to the directory with the downloaded chart and execute the command:

helm upgrade --install hostpath-provisioner ./hostpath-provisioner -f values-hostpath-provisioner.yaml -n kube-system
