Advanced Installation via Helm
We provide a helm chart for an advanced installation of DataCater into arbitrary Kubernetes namespaces. In this approach, you have the chance to integrate DataCater with an external PostgreSQL instance.
In the first step, please choose the Kubernetes namespace that you want to use for the installation of DataCater:
$ export DATACATER_NAMESPACE="default"
You can skip this step if you already have a PostgreSQL instance up and running.
Use Bitnami's Helm chart to install a PostgreSQL instance into your Kubernetes namespace:
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm install postgres bitnami/postgresql -n $DATACATER_NAMESPACE
Use the following command to access its password:
export POSTGRES_PASSWORD=$(kubectl get secret --namespace $DATACATER_NAMESPACE postgres-postgresql -o jsonpath="{.data.postgres-password}" | base64 -d)
If you installed PostgreSQL following the previous section, open a connection to your PostgreSQL instance:
kubectl port-forward --namespace $DATACATER_NAMESPACE svc/postgres-postgresql 5432:5432
Execute the following script to seed the PostgreSQL database with the schema and RLS policies of DataCater. If you are using an external PostgreSQL instance, make sure to replace the connection credentials.
PGPASSWORD="$POSTGRES_PASSWORD" psql --host 127.0.0.1 -U postgres -d postgres -p 5432 -f platform-api/src/main/resources/init-db.sql
We
--set the value to the postgres-postgresql service within the namespace that DataCater was installed into. Feel free to change this to any other host, port, or schema if needed.helm -n $DATACATER_NAMESPACE upgrade datacater helm-charts/datacater --set "datacater.database.host=postgres-postgresql:5432/postgres" --install
Port-forward your traffic into your Kubernetes cluster to get a quick access to the UI of DataCater.
kubectl -n $DATACATER_NAMESPACE port-forward svc/datacater-ui 8080:80
You can now navigate to
http://localhost:8080 in your browser and sign in using the default credentials admin:admin.Last modified 1mo ago
