Control Plane Requirements:

For helm based installation, check for requirements in the cloud provider page:

​
Installation steps

  1. Create truefoundry namespace 
    kubectl create ns truefoundry
  2. The helm charts to use for the three cloud providers are as follows -
  3. Add the truefoundry helm repo 
      helm repo add argocd https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm
  helm repo add truefoundry https://truefoundry.github.io/infra-charts/
  helm repo update truefoundry argocd
  4. Install ArgoCD if not already installed 
      helm install argocd argo/argo-cd \
   --namespace argocd \
   --create-namespace \
   --version 7.8.26 \
   --set server.extraArgs[0]="--insecure" \
   --set server.extraArgs[1]="--application-namespaces=*" \
   --set controller.extraArgs[0]="--application-namespaces=*" \
   --set applicationSet.enabled=false \
   --set notifications.enabled=false \
   --set dex.enabled=false
    Check the ArgoCD docs for more details
  5. Create a file called values.yaml and fill in the values with content given by TrueFoundry team 
     tenantName: "" # Given by TrueFoundry team
 controlPlaneURL: "https://domain" # Given by TrueFoundry team
 clusterName: ""

 truefoundry:
   enabled: true
   devMode:
     enabled: false # Set to true if you want to test the control plane in dev mode
   # Virtual service to create
   virtualservice:
     enabled: false
     hosts: ["domain"]
     gateways: ["istio-system/tfy-wildcard"]
   database:
     host: ""
     name: ""
     username: ""
     password: ""
   tfyApiKey: "" # Given by TrueFoundry team
   truefoundryImagePullConfigJSON: "" # Given by truefoundry team
 tfyAgent:
   enabled: false # kept false as this is used only in compute plane
  6. Apply the helm chart with the values.yaml. Replace the chart_name with the correct one from step 3 
    helm install inframold truefoundry/<chart_name> -f values.yaml --namespace truefoundry --create-namespace
  7. Point the domain to the Load balancer IP of the control plane. Check here on how to add a certificate for TLS. 
    kubectl get svc -n istio-system

​
Test the installation

  1. Check if the pods are running in the truefoundry namespace 
    kubectl get pods -n truefoundry
  2. Access the control plane dashboard via https://domain or if via port-forward if dev mode is enabled 
    kubectl port-forward svc/truefoundry-truefoundry-frontend-app -n truefoundry 5000:5000
