Helm must be installed to use the charts. Please refer to Helm's documentation to get started.

Once Helm has been set up correctly, add the repo as follows:

helm repo add calyptia https://helm.calyptia.com/

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 calyptia to see the charts.

To install the chart-name chart:

helm install <chart-name> calyptia/<chart-name>

To uninstall the chart:

helm delete my-<chart-name>

First, get a project token from Calyptia Cloud To install a calyptia-core instance on the default namespace, run with:

helm install calyptia-core calyptia/core --set project_token=<PROJECT TOKEN>

YAML-only install

Calyptia Core can be installed without Helm as well using equivalent YAML.

The template YAML is auto-generated on each release for you as install-core.yaml.tmpl. It requires the definition of the following environment variables:

• PROJECT_TOKEN - the Calyptia Core token to use.
• CORE_INSTANCE_NAME - the name of the Calyptia Core instance to create.
• CORE_INSTANCE_TAGS - a comma-separated list of tags to add to the Calyptia Core instance.

With these variables defined we can then use substitution in the YAML like so:

$ export PROJECT_TOKEN=XXX
$ export CORE_INSTANCE_TAGS=test
$ export CORE_INSTANCE_NAME=test-instance
$ curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calyptia/charts/master/install-core.yaml.tmpl | envsubst '$PROJECT_TOKEN,$CORE_INSTANCE_TAGS,$CORE_INSTANCE_NAME' | kubectl apply -f -
serviceaccount/calyptia-core created
clusterrole.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/calyptia-core created
clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/calyptia-core created
deployment.apps/calyptia-core created

In the example above we also show how you can set the Calyptia Core instance name (if not present then it will be auto-generated) and the Calyptia Core instance tags.

The recommendation would always be to download and verify directly without applying initially for security purposes.

An all-in-one command to do it is therefore (replacing XXX with your token, and changing the name/tags as appropriate) on Linux or compatible platforms with envsubst available:

export PROJECT_TOKEN=XXX;export CORE_INSTANCE_TAGS=onelineinstall;export CORE_INSTANCE_NAME=$HOSTNAME;curl -sSfL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/calyptia/charts/master/install-core.yaml.tmpl | envsubst '$PROJECT_TOKEN,$CORE_INSTANCE_TAGS,$CORE_INSTANCE_NAME' | kubectl apply -f -

For Windows or other platforms without envsubst available the YAML template can be downloaded and the PROJECT_TOKEN substituted manually or in some other fashion.

To enable the experimental cluster logging functionality:

helm install --set-string cluster_logging=true --set project_token=<PROJECT TOKEN>

To add tags to the calyptia-core instance:

helm install --set-string core_instance_tags='one\,two' --set project_token=<PROJECT TOKEN>

Note that a valid project token is required.
