Prerequisites¶
Before getting started with OpenEverest, we recommend that you:
-
Install Helm v3 to install OpenEverest using Helm.
-
Install yq to install OpenEverest using Helm.
-
Verify that you have access to the Kubernetes cluster that you want to use with OpenEverest. By default, OpenEverest uses the kubeconfig file available under ~/.kube/config. Run the following command:
kubectl get nodesExpected output
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION gke-<name>-default-pool-75d48bfc-bx8g Ready <none> 11h v1.26.7-gke.500 gke-<name>-default-pool-75d48bfc-c2df Ready <none> 11h v1.26.7-gke.500 gke-<name>-default-pool-75d48bfc-zl7k Ready <none> 11h v1.26.7-gke.500
Before you install OpenEverest¶
You can install OpenEverest using one of the following methods:
-
everestctl, which connects OpenEverest to your Kubernetes cluster.
Once you’ve installed OpenEverest, you can easily log into the OpenEverest UI by following the setup instructions in the next section.
Important
OpenEverest assists with installing all the necessary operators and required packages, but does not currently help with spinning up a publicly accessible Kubernetes cluster.
We recommend setting up OpenEverest on the Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). OpenEverest may not work as expected on local Kubernetes installations (minikube, kind, k3d, or similar products) due to network issues.
