Infrastructure Requirements

RequirementsDescriptionReason for Requirement
Kubernetes ClusterAny Kubernetes cluster will work here - we can also choose the compute-plane cluster itself to install TrueFoundry helm chartThe TrueFoundry helm chart will be installed here
Egress Access for TrueFoundryAuthEgress access to https://auth.truefoundry.comThis is needed to verify the users logging into the TrueFoundry platform for licensing purposes
Egress access For Docker Registry1. public.ecr.aws 2. quay.io 3. ghcr.io 4. docker.io/truefoundrycloud 5. docker.io/natsio 6. nvcr.io 7. registry.k8s.ioThis is to download docker images for TrueFoundry, ArgoCD, NATS, ArgoRollouts, ArgoWorkflows, Istio

Installation steps

  1. Install argoCD - 
    kubectl create namespace argocd
kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/core-install.yaml
  1. Add the truefoundry helm repo 
    helm repo add truefoundry https://truefoundry.github.io/infra-charts/
helm repo update
  2. We will create a values.yaml for the helm chart installation -
    1. Download the values.yaml from helm chart repo - 
      curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/truefoundry/infra-charts/main/charts/tfy-k8s-generic-inframold/values-cp-dev.yaml > values.yaml
    2. Fill in the tenant_name, cluster_name, truefoundry_image_pull_config_json, tfy_api_key, truefoundry_internal_jwt_jwks and INITIAL_ADMIN_OAUTH_USER_PASSWORDin the downloaded file. You can get these from the TrueFoundry team
  3. Apply the helm chart with the values.yaml 
    helm install -n argocd inframold truefoundry/tfy-k8s-generic-inframold --version 0.0.18 -f values.yaml

​
Test the installation

  1. Port forward the frontend application to access the TrueFoundry dashboard - 
    kubectl port-forward svc/truefoundry-truefoundry-frontend-app -n truefoundry 5000
  2. Access the truefoundry dashboard from a browser by opening http://localhost:5000. You can login with the username and password provided by the TrueFoundry team.
  3. Now you are ready to connect a cluster to the TrueFoundry platform and get deploying. Go here for the directions. You can also onboard the same cluster as the control plane
