tap-installer

Prerequisites

• A kubernetes cluster that you want to install to.
• Tanzu CLI.
• Some coffee
• Access to TAP 1.3.0+

How to use

1. Open rules.mk and update the versions you want to install.

2. Create files containing your credentials under the creds folder. You can choose to either name them the names you see in rules.mk or you can update rules.mk to point to your credential files.

   WARNING: Make sure you don't have extra new lines at the end of your files as it will cause authentication errors.

   The expected files are:

   • creds/tanzu.registry.username: Your Tanzu Network username
   • creds/tanzu.registry.password: Your Tanzu Network password
   • creds/my.registry.username: Your own writable registry's username
   • creds/my.registry.password: Your own writable registry's password

3. Install the essentials (kapp-controller and secretgen-controller):

   make install.essentials
   

4. Install TAP:

   make install.tanzu.secrets
   make install.tanzu.repository
   

5. Install the profile:

   make install.profile.full
   

   Right now there's only support for the full profile. Maybe I'll add more later. Additionally to speed this up, I've excluded a lot of packages. Modify config/full/full.yaml to re-include what you want. You may need to add the appropriate settings too.

6. Go have a coffee break. This take a while.

7. Install your dev namespace:

   make dev.create.<namespace_you_want>
   

Run a sample

1. Go to samples/python-function
2. From this folder run the following:

   tanzu apps workload create <your-workload-name> \
     --namespace <your-dev-namespace> \
     --type web \
     -s <location-to-store-your-source-bundle> \
     --local-path . \
     --build-env "BP_FUNCTION=func.main"
   

3. Profit!
