Install Simplyblock Control Plane on Kubernetes

Install CLI

pip install sbctl --upgrade

After installing the CLI, navigate to the Helm chart directory within the installed package:

cd /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/simplyblock_core/scripts/charts/

Then build the Helm dependencies and deploy the simplyblock control plane:

helm dependency build ./
helm upgrade --install sbcli --namespace simplyblock --create-namespace ./

Before running the helm install, you can edit the values.yaml file to match your specific configuration. For example, to set cluster parameters, storage options, monitoring secret or node selectors according to your environment.

Service	Direction	Source / Target Network	Port	Protocol(s)
ICMP	ingress	control	-	ICMP
Cluster API	ingress	storage, control, admin	80	TCP
FoundationDB	ingress	storage, control	4500	TCP
Cluster Control	egress	storage, control	8080-8890	TCP
spdk-http-proxy	egress	storage, control	5000	TCP
spdk-firewall-proxy	egress	storage, control	5001	TCP

Find and exec into the admin control pod (replace the pod name if different):

kubectl -n simplyblock exec -it simplyblock-admin-control-<uuid> -- bash

Install Control Plane

sbctl cluster create --mgmt-ip <WORKER_IP> --ha-type ha --mode kubernetes

Info

You need to add additional parameter when using a Loadbalancer --ingress-host-source loadbalancer and --dns-name <LB_INGRESS_DNS>

Additional parameters for the cluster create command can be found at Cluster Deployment Options.
