Installation

Requirements
Make sure you have the following readily available before you proceed with installing DataCater:
​A running Kubernetes Cluster (If you want to try out DataCater locally, we recommend minikube. You can create a new minikube cluster and start it with $ minikube start --memory 8192 --cpus 2.)
​kubectl​
Installation on Kubernetes
We provide a Kubernetes manifest in our Git repository. You can find it at k8s-manifests/minikube-with-postgres-ns-default.yaml. 
You can use the Kubernetes manifest to install DataCater, including PostgreSQL, into the default namespace of your Kubernetes cluster. To this end, please execute the following command on your shell:
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DataCater/datacater/main/k8s-manifests/minikube-with-postgres-ns-default.yaml
You should now see a couple of pods in your Kubernetes cluster:
$ kubectl get pods --watch
You can start using DataCater once all pods have reached the status RUNNING.
We provide a customizable installation approach using our Helm chart under Advanced installation via Helm.​
Using DataCater
The Kubernetes manifest does not define any ingress. You can either define an ingress on your own or access the DataCater installation by forwarding a local port, e.g. 8080, to the port 80 of the service datacater-ui:
$ kubectl port-forward svc/datacater-ui 8080:80
You can now navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your browser and start using DataCater!
The default login credentials are admin:admin. You can use them to sign in to our UI or create an access token for working with our API:
$ curl -XPOST -uadmin:admin http://localhost:8080/api/v1/authentication
