Verify Kommander Installation

After you build the Konvoy cluster and you install Kommander, verify your installation. After the CLI successfully installs the components, it waits for all applications to be ready by default.

NOTE: If the Kommander installation fails or you wish to reconfigure applications, you can rerun the install command to retry the installation.

If you prefer the CLI to not wait for all applications to become ready, you can set the --wait=false flag.

If you choose not to wait via the DKP CLI, you can check the status of the installation using the following command:

CODE

kubectl -n kommander wait --for condition=Ready helmreleases --all --timeout 15m

This will wait for each of the helm charts to reach their Ready condition, eventually resulting in an output resembling below:

Failed HelmReleases

If an application fails to deploy, check the status of a HelmRelease with:

CODE

kubectl -n kommander get helmrelease <HELMRELEASE_NAME>

If you find any HelmReleases in a “broken” release state, such as “exhausted” or “another rollback/release in progress”, trigger a reconciliation of the HelmRelease using the following commands:

CODE

kubectl -n kommander patch helmrelease <HELMRELEASE_NAME> --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/suspend", "value": true}]'
kubectl -n kommander patch helmrelease <HELMRELEASE_NAME> --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/suspend", "value": false}]'
