Install Kaptain on an on-premises cluster

On-Premise Installation

Kaptain natively supports the installation on an on-premise Konvoy cluster. Before installing Kaptain, please follow the Konvoy On-Premises Installation Guide to set up the on-prem Konvoy cluster. The cluster admin is responsible for configuring the Konvoy cluster.yaml correctly and ensuring the requisite addons are enabled.

Please note that the IP address of the Kaptain UI will come from the IP address range that is configured in the MetalLB load balancer.

The steps to install Kaptain on an on-premises cluster are as follows:

• Follow the Konvoy On-Premises Installation Guide to configure the cluster.yaml. An example is shown below.
• Ensure the Knative and NFS addons that are needed by Kaptain are enabled:

  - configRepository: https://github.com/mesosphere/kubeaddons-kaptain
    configVersion: stable-1.17-0.4.3
    addonsList:
    - name: kubeflow-nfs
      enabled: true
    - name: knative
      enabled: true
  

• Spin up the Konvoy cluster:

  konvoy up
  

• When the Konvoy cluster is ready, install Kaptain.

Here is an example of a cluster.yaml for an on-premise installation:
