Installing API Server
Installing the Amphitheatre API Server with Helm on a Kubernetes cluster.
You can deploy Amphitheatre API Server on Kubernetes via helm to make it highly available. In this way, if one of the nodes on which Amphitheatre API Server is running becomes unavailable, users do not experience interruptions of service.
Pre-requisites
- Kubernetes 1.19+
- Helm 3.9.0+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure
- ReadWriteMany volumes for deployment scaling
Add Repository
Once Helm has been set up correctly, add the repo as follows:
helm repo add amphitheatre https://charts.amphitheatre.app
If you had already added this repo earlier, run helm repo update
to retrieve
the latest versions of the packages. You can then run helm search repo amphitheatre
to see the charts.
Installation
To install the chart with the release name amp
:
helm upgrade --install amp amphitheatre/amphitheatre --create-namespace --namespace=amp-system
The command deploys Amphitheatre API Server on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration.
Metrics Server is a crucial component in Kubernetes for monitoring container
resource usage and serves as a prerequisite dependency for the Stats feature in
the Amphitheatre project. In the Helm Chart, the metrics-server.enabled
parameter defaults to true, ensuring Metrics Server is automatically installed
during the Amphitheatre installation.
However, if your cluster already has a global Metrics Server running and you
wish to avoid redundant installation, you can disable the installation of
Metrics Server by setting the --set metrics-server.enabled=false
parameter
when installing Amphitheatre.
Uninstall
helm delete amp
The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
Next
When successfully installed, you still need to do some initial configuration work, the details of which can be found in the Initialize Amphitheatre in your infrastructure.
Troubleshooting
If you have any trouble installing Amphitheatre API Server, look for the error message in the Troubleshooting FAQ.
