Chapter 5. Installing the Network controller to enable console


Prerequisites

  • cluster-admin access to a cluster.

Procedure

  1. Download YAML files, choose the latest Version for 2.1 at Software Downloads and download the Skupper deployments (yamls).
  2. Create a site, for example:

    $ skupper site create west
  3. Apply the Network controller YAML:

    $ kubectl apply -f skupper-network-observer-openshift-2.1.0-rh.yaml
  4. Navigate to the console.

    On OpenShift:

    $ oc get routes

    The route is prefixed with skupper-network-observer-<site-namespace>. You can log in using OpenShift credentials.

    On other Kubernetes, expose the skupper-network-observer service. A skupper user is created and you can get the password using:

    $ kubectl --namespace <site-namespace> \
          get secret skupper-network-observer-auth \
          -o jsonpath='{.data.htpasswd}' | base64 -d | sed 's/\(.*\):{PLAIN}\(.*\)/\1 \2\n/'
