Chapter 1. Installing 3scale on OpenShift

1. Create an Identity and Access Management (IAM) policy with the following minimum permissions:

   {
       "Version": "2012-10-17",
       "Statement": [
           {
               "Effect": "Allow",
               "Action": "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
               "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::*"
           },
           {
               "Effect": "Allow",

               "Resource": [
                   "arn:aws:s3:::targetBucketName",
                   "arn:aws:s3:::targetBucketName/*"
               ]

     Note

     The wildcardDomain parameter can be any desired name you wish to give that resolves to an IP address, which is a valid DNS domain.

   • APIManager CR with minimum requirements:

Procedure

1. Type the following command to verify the configuration of your container registry authentication:

   $ oc get secret

   Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

   • If your secret exists, you will see the following output in the terminal:

     threescale-registry-auth          kubernetes.io/dockerconfigjson        1         4m9s

     Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
   • However, if you do not see the output, you must do the following:
2. Use the credentials you previously set up while Creating a registry service account to create your secret.
3. Use the steps in Configuring registry authentication in OpenShift, replacing <your-registry-service-account-username> and <your-registry-service-account-password> in the oc create secret command provided.

4. Generate the threescale-registry-auth secret in the same namespace as the APIManager resource. You must run the following inside the <project-name>:

   oc project <project-name>
   oc create secret docker-registry threescale-registry-auth \
     --docker-server=registry.redhat.io \
     --docker-username="<your-registry-service-account-username>" \
     --docker-password="<your-registry-service-account-password>"

Procedure

1. The directories used for the persistent volumes MUST have the write permissions for the root group. Having read-write permissions for the root user is not enough as the MySQL service runs as a different user in the root group. Execute the following command as the root user:

   chmod -R g+w /path/for/pvs

2. Execute the following command to prevent SElinux from blocking access:
