🚀 Getting Started

Kubernetes (K8s), is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. You can run a FabCityOS Core instance inside your Kubernetes cluster, either if you want to expose it to the outside world or just let some other applications use it inside your cluster and take advantage of the instant and powerful search engine.

First of all, you will need a Kubernetes cluster up and running. If you are not familiar with how Kuberentes works or need some help with this step, please check the Kubernetes documentation.

Install kubectl

kubectl is the most commonly used CLI to manage a Kubernetes cluster. The installation instructions are available here.

Install helm

helm is a Command Line Interface which will automate chart management and installation on your Kubernetes cluster. To install Helm, follow the Helm installation instructions.

Deploy the SWKit

git clone https://gitlab.fabcity.hamburg/software/interfacer-swkit.git
cd interfacer-swkit
kubectl kustomize --enable-helm | kubectl apply -f -
