Rig Operator

Setup guide​

Installing the Rig Operator is a easy as any other Kubernetes operator. We've made a Helm chart available the makes it easy to get all the resources up and running.

Installation​

To install the operator run:

helm upgrade --install rig-operator rig-operator \
  --repo https://charts.rig.dev \
  --version 1.0.44 \
  --namespace rig-system \
  --create-namespace

Configuration​

The Rig Operator has a lot of configuration options for how to treat Capsules in the current cluster. The configuration is easily provided as part of a values file for the Helm Chart.

The entire config is described here, but is simply a YAML file with configuration parameters.

Example - External Platform token​

To configure the operator to generate access for a Rig Platform deployed outside cluster, a ServiceAccount with a Secret (token) can easily be configured:

Helm values - Operator
rbac:
  platform:
    create_token: true

After creation, the Secret containing the token and CA authority can be read:

kubectl get -n rig-system secret/rig-platform-token -o='jsonpath={.data.token}' | base64 -d
kubectl get -n rig-system secret/rig-platform-token -o='jsonpath={.data.ca\.crt}' | base64 -d

Example - Configure Service-Type​

To configure the operator to produce Service resources with ServiceType NodePort instead of ClusterIP, the following operator will do that for us:

Helm values - Operator
config:
  service:
    type: NodePort

Applying the configuration​

To apply a config to a cluster, save the file as operator.yaml run the following command:

helm upgrade --install rig-operator rig-operator \
  --repo https://charts.rig.dev \
  --version 1.0.44 \
  --namespace rig-system \
  --create-namespace \
  -f operator.yaml

This can be done several times, after each change.
