Kommander in Air-gapped with DKP Insights
Follow these steps to install the Kommander component of DKP Essential in an air-gapped environment with DKP Insights.
Install Kommander
Follow these steps:
Create the configuration file by running
dkp install kommander --init --airgapped > kommander.yaml
for the air-gapped deployment.In
kommander.yaml
, if you are installing Kommander in an AWS VPC, set the Traefik annotation to create an internal facing ELB by setting the following:apiVersion: config.kommander.mesosphere.io/v1alpha1 kind: Installation apps: ... traefik: enabled: true values: | service: annotations: service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true" ...
CODEIn
kommander.yaml
, enable DKP Insights by setting the following:apiVersion: config.kommander.mesosphere.io/v1alpha1 kind: Installation apps: ... dkp-insights-management: enabled: true ... catalog: repositories: - name: insights-catalog-applications labels: kommander.d2iq.io/workspace-default-catalog-repository: "true" kommander.d2iq.io/gitapps-gitrepository-type: "dkp" path: ./application-repositories/dkp-insights-v2.5.0.tar.gz ...
CODEInstall DKP with Insights enabled by running:
dkp install kommander --installer-config kommander.yaml --kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf \ --kommander-applications-repository ./application-repositories/kommander-applications-v2.5.0.tar.gz \ --charts-bundle ./application-charts/dkp-kommander-charts-bundle-v2.5.0.tar.gz \ --charts-bundle ./application-charts/dkp-insights-charts-bundle-v2.5.0.tar.gz
CODEIn the previous command, the
--kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf
flag ensures that you set the context to install Kommander on the right cluster. For alternatives and recommendations around setting your context, refer to Provide Context for Commands with a kubeconfig File.TIP: Sometimes, applications require a longer period of time to deploy, which causes the installation to time out. Add the
--wait-timeout <time to wait>
flag and specify a period of time (for example,1h
) to allocate more time to the deployment of applications.
