Manual Install

Installation

The StormForge Optimize Pro Controller runs inside your Kubernetes cluster. For a manual installation, the StormForge CLI tool is used to authenticate and generate credentials for the controller to use, and Helm is used to install and configure the controller components.

StormForge CLI

You will need to register a new cluster and retrieve credentials for it using the StormForge CLI prior to installing the StormForge Optimize Pro controller with Helm.

You can download and install using:

• Linux
• Windows
• macOS
• Docker

brew install thestormforge/tap/stormforge

docker pull registry.stormforge.io/library/stormforge-cli

Make sure that your version is v3.0.0+ by running stormforge version. Then log in using a web-based form:

stormforge login

Cluster and Credentials

The StormForge CLI is used to register the new cluster and output the required credentials that the controller will need.

Register a new cluster, and save the output to a credential-values.yaml file:

stormforge create cluster my-cluster-name \
  > credential-values.yaml

The values file will be used in the next step in which you install the controller using Helm.

Optimize Pro Controller

Install the Optimize Pro Controller in the stormforge-system namespace. Make sure you provide the appropriate values files for for the cluster’s credentials.

helm install optimize-pro oci://registry.stormforge.io/library/optimize-pro \
  --namespace stormforge-system \
  --create-namespace \
  --atomic \
  --values credential-values.yaml

Customizing Installation

In cases where you would need to generate and manually apply the manifests, you can generate them and output them to a ./optimize-pro/ directory using helm template:

helm template optimize-pro oci://registry.stormforge.io/library/optimize-pro \
  --namespace stormforge-system \
  --include-crds \
  --values credential-values.yaml \
  --output-dir .
