Installation

  1. Install the robusta-cli: This step is needed to generate the values file for helm chart installation.

    # Requires python installed
    python3 -m pip install -U robusta-cli --no-cache
  2. Generate a generated_values.yaml for Robusta Helm chart:

    # An interactive session where you can configure sinks 
    # such as receiving alerts to a particular Slack channel, MS Teams. 
    # This generates a `generated_values.yaml`
    
    robusta gen-config
  3. Update DigitalOcean cluster credentials using doctl:

    # Notice: Adding cluster credentials to kubeconfig file found in "/Users/<username>/.kube/config"
    # Notice: Setting current-context to <cluster-context>
    
    doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save <cluster-id>
  4. Install Robusta with helm:

    helm repo add robusta https://robusta-charts.storage.googleapis.com && helm repo update
    helm install robusta robusta/robusta -f ./generated_values.yaml --set clusterName=<cluster-name>
