Install on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is a Kubernetes solution for both cloud and on-premises with providers such as AWS, Google and Microsoft Azure. StormForge is compatible with OpenShift Container Platform versions 4.x and later.

Installation

To install StormForge on OpenShift, do one of the following:

• In the StormForge values.yaml file, set openshift: true as a top-level key-value pair, and then apply the file:

  kubectl apply -f values.yaml
  

• Include the --set openshift=true argument when you run helm install, as in this example:

  • Replace CREDENTIAL_FILE with the file name that contains your access credential.

  • Replace CLUSTER_NAME with the name of the cluster (lowercase, no underscore) you’re installing on.

    helm install stormforge oci://registry.stormforge.io/library/stormforge \
      --namespace stormforge-system \
      --create-namespace \
      --values CREDENTIAL_FILE \
      --set clusterName=CLUSTER_NAME \
      --set openshift=true
    

For installation prerequisites, additional arguments, and other details, see the Install topic.

Validate the installation

Within minutes of installing StormForge, you’ll see your workloads and a preliminary recommendation in the StormForge UI at app.stormforge.io.

Installing StormForge also creates a project (namespace) in OpenShift as shown in the OpenShift CLI (oc) output below:

$ oc get all -n stormforge-system
