Install DKP in an Air-gapped Environment with Catalog Applications

How to run DKP in an Air-gapped installation with catalog applications.

The following explains how to run DKP on top of an air-gapped DKP cluster installation with catalog applications.

Depending on your configuration, there are three different ways you can install DKP to an air-gapped environment.
Ensure you follow the correct procedure for your configuration type, and ignore the other two sections that do not pertain to your environment:

Load the Docker images into your Docker Registry

Follow these steps:

  1. Download the DKP image bundle file:

    NONE 
    curl -LJ https://downloads.d2iq.com/dkp/v2.3.3/kommander-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar | tar -xv

  2. Download the Konvoy Docker Images.

    CODE 
    curl -o konvoy-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar -O https://downloads.d2iq.com/dkp/v2.3.3/konvoy_image_bundle_v2.3.3_linux_amd64.tar

  3. Optionally download the DKP catalog applications image bundle file:

    CODE 
    curl "https://downloads.d2iq.com/dkp/v2.3.3/dkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar" -O && tar -xvf dkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar

  4. Optionally download the DKP insights image bundle file:

    CODE 
    curl "https://downloads.d2iq.com/dkp/v2.3.3/dkp-insights-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar" -O

  5. See the NOTICES.txt file for 3rd party software attributions and place the kommander-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar and dkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar bundles within a location where you can load and push the images to your private Docker registry.

  6. Run the following command to load the air-gapped image bundle into your private Docker registry:

CODE 
dkp push image-bundle --image-bundle kommander-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar --to-registry <REGISTRY_URL>
dkp push image-bundle --image-bundle dkp-catalog-applications-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar --to-registry <REGISTRY_URL>
dkp push image-bundle --image-bundle dkp-insights-image-bundle-v2.3.3.tar --to-registry <REGISTRY_URL>

Install air-gapped Kommander with the DKP Catalog Applications

Use this section to install DKP with Catalog Applications.

Prerequisites

To use the DKP Catalog Applications in an air-gapped environment, you need the following files (including downloading and pushing the dkp-insights-image-bundle file mentioned above):

    CODE 
    curl https://downloads.d2iq.com/dkp/v2.3.3/dkp-catalog-applications-v2.3.3.tar.gz -O

  2. Download the DKP catalog applications chart bundle:

    CODE 
    curl -LJ https://downloads.d2iq.com/dkp/v2.3.3/dkp-catalog-applications-charts-bundle-v2.3.3.tar.gz | tar -xvz

  3. Download the Kommander charts bundle:

    CODE 
    curl -LJ https://downloads.d2iq.com/dkp/v2.3.3/dkp-kommander-charts-bundle-v2.3.3.tar.gz | tar -xvz

  4. Download the Kommander application definitions:

    CODE 
    curl -O https://downloads.d2iq.com/dkp/v2.3.3/kommander-applications-v2.3.3.tar.gz

  5. Download the Containerd 1.14.13packages for the OS you plan to provision dkp on. The options for OS are listed below for replacement in the command before running:

    • centos-7.9

    • ol-7.9

Useful DKP CLI Commands

Kommander Charts Bundle

The charts bundle is a gzipped tar archive containing Helm charts, which are required during Kommander installation. Create the charts bundle with the Kommander CLI or downloaded along with the DKP CLI. Execute this command to create the charts bundle:

CODE 
dkp create chart-bundle

DKP creates charts-bundle.tar.gz. Optionally, specify the output using the -o parameter:

CODE 
dkp create chart-bundle -o [name of the output file]

DKP Internal Helm Repository

The DKP charts bundle is pushed to DKP’s internal Helm repository. To inspect the contents:

CODE 
dkp get charts

Individual charts can be removed using:

CODE 
dkp delete chart [chartName] [chartVersion]

It is possible to push new charts as well:

CODE 
dkp push chart [chartTarball]

Or push a new bundle:

CODE 
dkp push chart-bundle [chartsTarball]

Check the built-in help text for each command for more information.
