Deploy your Okteto instance
Configuration file
Before running helm install
, we recommend that you create a yaml configuration file with your choices about how to install Okteto. This guide will walk you through the default installation. A complete list of configuration options is available here.
You can use this sample configuration file as a starting point. The different configuration settings are explained below.
Cluster Endpoint
This is the public endpoint of your Kubernetes cluster. It will be used by Okteto when generating Kubeconfig
credentials for your users.
cluster:
endpoint: "https://52.30.32.1"
Run the following command to obtain your cluster's API server endpoint:
kubectl config view --minify | grep server

Deploy the Okteto Chart
Run helm install
to deploy your Okteto instance. In this example, we have named our Helm release okteto.
$ helm repo add okteto https://charts.okteto.com
$ helm repo update
$ helm install okteto okteto/okteto -f config.yaml --namespace=okteto --create-namespace
You can also use
--version version
if you would like to install a specific version of Okteto.
After a few seconds, all the resources will be created. The output will look something like this:
Congratulations! Okteto is successfully installed!
Follow these steps to access your Okteto instance:
1. Start a port-forward to the ingress service by running:
$ sudo kubectl port-forward service/okteto-ingress-nginx-controller 443:443 --namespace okteto
2. Access your Okteto instance at https://okteto.localtest.me/login#token=******
Follow these steps to configure the Okteto CLI:
