Install via Civo Marketplace

This documentation provides detailed instructions on how to install the KubeRocketCI platform via Civo Marketplace. As a prerequisite, make sure to sign up on Civo.

Launch Cluster​

The first step of the installation procedure is to launch the cluster. Please refer to the official instructions that describe this process in detail. To succeed, follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to your personal account.

  2. Create a new Kubernetes cluster with the following parameters. Please refer to the official guidelines for more details:

    • Name: demo
    • How many nodes: 1
    • Select size: Type: Standard, Size: Medium
    • Network: Default
    • Firewall: Create a new firewall with the 443 and 6443 ports opened
    • Advanced options: Kubernetes version: latest (currently 1.28.2)
    • Marketplace: Choose the Argo CD and Tekton stacks

  3. Wait till the cluster is created.

    note

    The cluster deployment takes around two minutes. After cluster deployment, additional 5 minutes are required for both Argo CD and Tekton stacks to get deployed.

  4. As soon as cluster is deployed, ensure all the marketplace applications are installed, too:

    Check applications

  5. Download and apply the kubeconfig file:

    Download kubeconfig

  6. Ensure all the pods are up and running in both the Tekton and Argo CD namespaces after 5 minutes of waiting. Restart deployments if the pods are failed to deploy:

    kubectl get ns
    kubectl get pods -n tekton-pipelines
    kubectl get pods -n argocd

    Verify installation
