Cupdate is made for running in Kubernetes. It is intended to be deployed as a single instance, using the Kubernetes APIs to react on changes made to deployments, containers, replica sets and more.
To get started, run the command below to inspect the manifests about to be applied.
kubectl apply --dry-run=client -o yaml 'https://github.com/AlexGustafsson/cupdate/deploy?ref=v0.15.0'
Next, run the following command to apply the manifests.
kubectl apply -k 'https://github.com/AlexGustafsson/cupdate/deploy?ref=v0.15.0'
If you're running Kubernetes with RBAC, Cupdate needs additional configuration. To install Cupdate with support for RBAC, run the following command.
kubectl apply -k 'https://github.com/AlexGustafsson/cupdate/deploy/overlays/rbac?ref=v0.15.0'
Note
As there are a lot of different ways to expose services, Cupdate is not deployed without any ingress.
Note
Without additional configuration, Cupdate is deployed without any persistent state. This will work, but may require additional time after startup for all images to be processed.
To more easily configure Cupdate, it's recommended to use a
kustomization.yaml
file. You can copy kustomization.yaml
and then run kubectl apply -k kustomization.yaml
to deploy Cupdate.
For even more configurability, build the complete manifests and modify them to your liking.
kustomize build 'https://github.com/AlexGustafsson/cupdate/deploy/overlays/rbac?ref=v0.15.0' > cupdate.yaml
By default, Cupdate will ignore old replica sets kept around by Kubernetes to
enable rollback of services. To include them, set
CUPDATE_KUBERNETES_INCLUDE_OLD_REPLICAS
to true
.
Whilst the commands above are enough to get you started with Cupdate, you might want to change some configuration to better suite your needs. Please see the additional documentation in ../config.md.
Note
Before Cupdate hits v1.0.0, breaking changes can occur. Breaking changes could include API changes or changes to how the data is stored on disk. Breaking changes are communicated in release notes.
If you've installed Cupdate using the official kustomization, please re-apply it using the latest version to update Cupdate. If you've written custom manifests, update the image version and refer to the release notes to learn if there are additional changes required.
