Install KubeRocketCI

This page serves as the starting point for the quick start guide, where we will install Tekton as a prerequisite and then proceed to install the KubeRocketCI itself.

Install Tekton

KubeRocketCI relies on Tekton resources, including Tasks, Pipelines, Triggers, and Interceptors to execute CI/CD pipelines.

To install Tekton, run the commands below:

kubectl apply -f https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/pipeline/previous/v1.0.0/release.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/triggers/previous/v0.32.0/release.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://storage.googleapis.com/tekton-releases/triggers/previous/v0.32.0/interceptors.yaml

Install platform

To deploy the platform, follow the steps below:

1. Add a Helm Chart repository:

   helm repo add epamedp https://epam.github.io/edp-helm-charts/stable
   helm repo update

2. Deploy the platform using the helm install command:

   helm install krci epamedp/edp-install --version 3.12.4 --create-namespace --atomic -n krci --set global.dnsWildCard=example.com

3. Upon successful deployment of the KubeRocketCI Helm Chart, run the kubectl port-forward command:

   kubectl port-forward service/krci-portal 59480:80 -n krci

4. Enter the localhost in your browser to access the login menu and click Use Token:

   localhost:59480

   

5. Create the edp-admin service account and generate an access token to open the KubeRocketCI:

   kubectl -n krci create serviceaccount edp-admin
   kubectl create clusterrolebinding edp-admin --serviceaccount=krci:edp-admin --clusterrole=cluster-admin
   kubectl create token edp-admin -n krci

6. In the login menu, paste the generated token in the Access token field and click the Sign in button.

7. Upon logging in, open the namespaces window by clicking the Manage Namespaces button in the top right corner of the UI:

   

8. Ensure the krci namespace is specified in both default and allowed namespaces. If not, define them manually:

   • Default namespace: krci
   • Allowed namespaces: krci

   

   note

   Remember to press Enter to add the allowed namespace to the list.

After completing these steps, you will gain access to KubeRocketCI components through the Portal UI. You can now proceed with the integration steps, starting with the SonarQube integration.
