The easiest way to install the inlets-operator is with arkade, an open-source Kubernetes marketplace, however if you'd like to use Helm, read on for examples you can adapt.

See inlets-operator reference documentation

Pre-reqs

A Kubernetes cluster deployed with x86_64 or arm64 hosts, or a mixture of both.

• Download Helm, i.e. arkade get helm or brew install helm

• Add the chart repo

  helm repo add inlets https://inlets.github.io/inlets-operator/

• Create a namespace for the inlets-operator

  kubectl create namespace inlets

• Create a secret for the inlets license key:

  kubectl create secret generic -n inlets \
    inlets-license --from-file license=$HOME/.inlets/LICENSE

• Create your access key secret, then apply one of the following configurations.

• Create a secret with an API key generated by DigitalOcean

  kubectl create secret generic -n inlets \
  inlets-access-key \
  --from-file inlets-access-key=$HOME/Downloads/do-access-token

Deploy an example configuration

Examples for each cloud are found in the reference documentation

Deploy with DigitalOcean in London

helm repo update && \
  helm upgrade inlets-operator --install inlets/inlets-operator \
  --namespace inlets \
  --set region=lon1

Install a local version of the chart for development

Create a custom values.yaml file with a custom image etc values-ae.yaml

pullPolicy: Always
image: ttl.sh/openfaas/inlets-operator:0.16.3-13-g9ff7184

Then run:

helm repo update && \
  helm upgrade inlets-operator --install ./chart/inlets-operator \
  --namespace inlets \
  --set region=lon1 \
  -f ./chart/inlets-operator/values-ae.yaml
