OpenCue Kubernetes Demo

The goal of this project is to provide a good starting point for anyone wanting to get OpenCue up and running in a home lab or small cluster. I'm using microk8s for everything, but any cluster administered with kubectl will do the trick. This project isn't representative of "good practice" for a using in a production environment.

Prerequisites

This setup assumes the following is already good to go.

1. docker
2. a docker registry (extra configuration required if the registry is private and/or insecure)
3. an nfs server

Get started!

1. configure the environment
2. build images
3. deploy
4. test

Configure for your environment

In root directory, create an .env file with opencue versions, registry server, and nuke license server defined. for example...

OPENCUE_MAJOR=0
OPENCUE_MINOR=22
OPENCUE_PATCH=14
REGISTRY_SERVER=registry_server:443
NFS_SERVER=fourage
NFS_MOUNT_PATH=/path/to/nfs/remote/dir
NFS_CONTAINER_PATH=/path/to/mount/in/deployed/pods
KUBECTL_CMD=kubectl
RQD_IMAGE=demo_rqd
FOUNDRY_NUKE_LIC_HOST=4101@license_server
