Installing Tackle 2.0

Follow the steps below to provision the Minikube cluster and install Tackle 2.0.

Provisioning Minikube

Follow the steps below to provision Minikube for single users deploying Tackle on a workstation. These steps will configure Minikube and enable:

• Ingress so the Tackle tool can publish outside of the Kubernetes cluster.
• Operator lifecycle manager (OLM) addon. (OpenShift has OLM installed out of the box but Kubernetes does not.)

Procedure

1. Provision the Minikube cluster with these recommended parameters.

[user@user ~]$ Minikube start -- driver=kvm3  -p <project name> --memory=10g

2. Enable the ingress addon.

[user@user ~]$ Minikube addons enable ingress -p docs

3. Enable the operator lifecycle manager (OLM) addon.

[user@user ~]$ Minikube addons enable olm -p docs

Installing Tackle Operator

Operators are a structural layer that manages resources deployed on Kubernetes (database, front end, back end) to automatically create a Tackle instance instead of doing it manually.

Requirements

Tackle requires a total of 5 persistent volumes (PVs) used by different components to successfully deploy, 3 RWO volumes and 2 RWX volumes will be requested via PVCs.

Follow the steps below to install the Tackle Operator in the my-tackle-operator namespace (default) on any Kubernetes distribution, including Minikube.

Procedure

1. Install the Tackle Operator.

[user@user ~]$ $ kubectl create -f https://operatorhub.io/install/tackle-operator.yaml

2. Verify Tackle was installed.

[user@user ~]$ kubectl get pods -n my-tackle-operator

3. Repeat this step until konveyor-tackle-XXX and tackle-operator-XXX show 1/1 Running.

Create the Tackle instance

Follow the steps below to initiate the Tackle instance and set a custom resource (CR) with the tackle_hub.yaml file. CRs can be customized to meet the project needs.

    $ cat << EOF | kubectl apply -f -
    kind: Tackle
    apiVersion: tackle.konveyor.io/v1alpha1
    metadata:
      name: tackle
      namespace: <your-tackle-namespace>
    spec:
    EOF

Note: For more information about altering the operator defaults, see the Tackle CR Settings section.

Procedure

1. Create the instance pointing to the CR file.

[user@user ~]$ Kubectl create -f tackle_hub.yaml -n my-tackle-operator

2. Verify the instance

[user@user ~]$ kubectl get pods -n my-tackle-operator

3. Repeat this step until all components are Completed or Running.

Note: This can take one to five minutes depending on the cluster resources.
