Chapter 2. Installing Developer Hub on EKS with the Helm chart

Procedure

1. Go to your terminal and run the following command to add the Helm chart repository containing the Developer Hub chart to your local Helm registry:

   helm repo add openshift-helm-charts https://charts.openshift.io/

2. Create a pull secret using the following command:

   kubectl create secret docker-registry rhdh-pull-secret \
       --docker-server=registry.redhat.io \
       --docker-username=<user_name> \ 

   1

   
       --docker-password=<password> \ 

   2

   
       --docker-email=<email> 

   3

   1

   Enter your username in the command.

   2

   Enter your password in the command.

   3

   Enter your email address in the command.

   The created pull secret is used to pull the Developer Hub images from the Red Hat Ecosystem.

3. Create a file named values.yaml using the following template:

   global:
     # TODO: Set your application domain name.
     host: <your Developer Hub domain name>
   
   
   route:
     enabled: false
   
   
   upstream:
     service:
       # NodePort is required for the ALB to route to the Service
       type: NodePort
   
   
     ingress:
       enabled: true
       annotations:
         kubernetes.io/ingress.class: alb
   
   
         alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/scheme: internet-facing
   
   
         # TODO: Using an ALB HTTPS Listener requires a certificate for your own domain. Fill in the ARN of your certificate, e.g.:
         alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/certificate-arn: arn:aws:acm:xxx:xxxx:certificate/xxxxxx
   
   
         alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/listen-ports: '[{"HTTP": 80}, {"HTTPS":443}]'
   
   
         alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: '443'
   
   
         # TODO: Set your application domain name.
         external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: <your rhdh domain name>
   
   
     backstage:
       image:
         pullSecrets:
         - rhdh-pull-secret
       podSecurityContext:
         # you can assign any random value as fsGroup
         fsGroup: 2000
     postgresql:
       image:
         pullSecrets:
         - rhdh-pull-secret
       primary:
         podSecurityContext:
           enabled: true
           # you can assign any random value as fsGroup
           fsGroup: 3000
     volumePermissions:
       enabled: true

4. Run the following command in your terminal to deploy Developer Hub using the latest version of Helm Chart and using the values.yaml file created in the previous step:

   helm install rhdh \
     openshift-helm-charts/redhat-developer-hub \
     [--version 1.5.3] \
     --values /path/to/values.yaml
