This section describes how to install nextgen gateway through Helm based deployment.

Pre-requisites

• Kubernetes 1.25+
• Helm 3.8.2 +

Deployment Process

To deploy Helm, follow below steps:

1. Pull the helm chart using the following command.

   helm pull oci://us-docker.pkg.dev/gateway-images/gateway-cluster-charts/nextgen-gw --version 1.4.0

   Note

   We are using the pre-release repository because this has not yet been released.
2. Untar the helm chart using the following command.

   tar -xvzf nextgen-gw-1.4.0.tgz

3. Update the following values in the helm chart values.yaml file.

   gatewayName: "nexgen-gw"             #To set Custom hostname
   
   opsramp_cloud_native: "enable"       #Default it is disable
   
   vprobe:
       reginfo: 
           API_SERVER:                  #Enter API Server URL
          ACTIVATION_KEY:               #Enter Activation Token Generated from Management Profile
   
   proxy:
       ConnectionType: direct           #Set as proxy if connecting via proxy
       ProxyIp:                           #Set Proxy IP if available
       ProxyPort:                         #Set Proxy Port if available
       ProxyUsername:                     #Set Proxy UserName if available
       ProxyPassword:                     #Set Proxy Password if available
       Protocol: http
   
   imageChannel: "pre-release" 

Sample

4. Now, install the helm chart using the following command.

   helm install nextgen-gw nextgen-gw -n <NAMESPACE>      
   
   # If namespace is not passed it will use default namespace.

5. Make sure the nextgen-gw-install-hook-pod pod is successfully created.

   

6. Once the CLI returns successfully, navigate to Setup > Resource > Management Profile to check if the gateway registered successfully.
