Ballista Helm Chart

Helm is a convenient way to install applications into Kubernetes. It can work against any Kubeneretes environement, including all the major cloud providers. For the purposes of this documentation, we will use Kubernetes-in-Docker (kind) to install locally.

Prerequisites

sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose
sudo snap install go kubectl helm --classic
go install sigs.k8s.io/kind@v0.16.0
~/go/bin/kind create cluster

Build

dev/build-ballista-docker.sh

Deploy

# See https://iximiuz.com/en/posts/kubernetes-kind-load-docker-image/

~/go/bin/kind load docker-image ballista-scheduler:latest
~/go/bin/kind load docker-image ballista-executor:latest

cd helm/ballista
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm dep update
