Kubernetes Cluster Setup

There are five major components of the TLIP application that are set up as Kubernetes pods:

  1. Config map
  2. Entity storage
  3. Blob storage
  4. Immutable storage
  5. API
  6. UI

In order for TLIP to function properly, all the above will have to be executed using kubectl in that specific order

Step 1: Setup config map​

Copy both config map files into the desired directory:

  • api-config.yaml
  • ui-config.yaml

Navigate to the directory in your terminal by running:

cd <directory-name>

create config map

kubectl apply -f api-config.yaml
kubectl apply -f ui-config.yaml

Verify config map was created successfully

kubectl get configmaps

Step 2: Setup entity storage (MySQL)​

Copy mysql file into desired directory

  • mysql.yaml

Navigate to the directory (refer to step one)

Create MySQL pod

kubectl apply -f mysql.yaml

Verify MySQL pod was successfully created

kubectl get pod mysql --namespace <namespace>

Step 3: Setup blob storage (IPFS)​

Copy ipfs file into desired directory

  • ipfs.yaml

Navigate to the directory (refer to step one)

Create IPFS pod

kubectl apply -f ipfs.yaml

Verify IPFS pod was successfully created

kubectl get pod ipfs --namespace <namespace>

Step 4: Setup API​

Copy api file into desired directory

  • api.yaml Navigate to the directory (refer to step one)

Create API pod

kubectl apply -f api.yaml

Verify IPFS pod was successfully created

kubectl get pod api --namespace <namespace>

Step 5: Setup UI​

Copy ui file into desired directory

  • ui.yaml Navigate to the directory (refer to step one)

Create UI pod

kubectl apply -f ui.yaml

Verify UI pod was successfully created

kubectl get pod ui --namespace <namespace>
