Installing Krateo PlatformOps on kind

Basic Installation

Installing Krateo with default configuration is quick and easy.

You will need:

Helm: These instructions were tested with v3.13.1.
A Kubernetes cluster.

note

Krateo PlatformOps installer is a flexible workflow engine that executes sequential steps. The installer-chart is a helper that provider already baked configurations for Krateo PlatformOps. It is however possible to implement a custom installer. Please check all the possible values supported by the chart.

kind

If you have any Docker-compatible container runtime installed (including native Docker, Docker Desktop, or OrbStack), you can easily launch a disposable cluster just for this quickstart using kind.

Krateo PlatformOps is exposed via NodePort by default:

helm repo add krateo https://charts.krateo.io
helm repo update krateo

kind create cluster --wait 120s --image kindest/node:v1.30.4 --config - <<EOF

  --wait

info

While this option is a bit more complex than using Docker Desktop or OrbStack directly, it offers the advantage of being fully-disposable. If your cluster reaches a state you are dissatisfied with, you can simply destroy it and launch a new one.

Wait for Krateo PlatformOps to be up&running:

kubectl wait krateoplatformops krateo --for condition=Ready=True --namespace krateo-system --timeout=300s

At the end of this process:

The Krateo Composable Portal will be accessible at localhost:30080.
The admin user password can be retrieved with the following command:

kubectl get secret admin-password  -n krateo-system -o jsonpath="{.data.password}" | base64 -d

info

The installer by default deploys a composable-portal-basic with examples to immediately start to play with Krateo PlatformOps. The chart is available here: https://github.com/krateoplatformops/composable-portal-basic.
