Helm Deployment

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that helps you define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes applications. It allows you to manage Kubernetes applications with Helm Charts, which are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources.

For more information about Helm, visit the Helm project.

Install by Helm Chart

Step 1: Obtain the Helm Chart

  • The values.yaml custom Helm values file will be provided to the customer with our release notification email.
  • The Helm chart archive can be downloaded as an archive or from our repository server (see your release notification email).

Step 2: Update values.yaml

Before installation, you should update the first 3 global variables to the intended internal URL in the values.yaml file:

1
2
3
api_host: datamimic.int.customernet.com
jwt_encode_issuer: datamimic.int.customernet.com
email_api_host: datamimic.int.customernet.com
The remaining values may be left unchanged for a first trial deployment.

Step 3: Configure Ingress

To expose the UI, the ingress configuration has to be added only to the backend container. The values file contains commented examples for ingress configurations in Kubernetes environments using nginx and cert-manager.

Step 4: Install the Helm Chart

Ensure that the Helm chart archive and updated values.yaml file are in the same folder. Use the following command to install:

1
$ helm install rd-datamimic-1.0.0.tgz -f values.yaml -n <DEPLOYMENT_NAMESPACE>
