# Helm Chart Installation Guide

This guide provides the step-by-step instructions for installing FRINX Machine on a Kubernetes cluster using Helm charts.

# Prerequisites

Minikube: Make sure that Minikube is installed on your local machine. Follow the Minikube installation guide if necessary.
Helm: Make sure that Helm is installed. Follow the Helm installation guide if necessary.

# Step 1: Start Minikube

# Minimal recommended setup
minikube start --cpus=12 --memory=24G --kubernetes-version=v1.27 --addons=ingress

# Alternatively, use maximum available CPUs
minikube start --cpus=max --memory=24G --kubernetes-version=v1.27 --addons=ingress

# Step 2: Add the FRINX Helm Repository

Add the FRINX Helm repository and update the repository list:

helm repo add frinx https://FRINXio.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

# Step 3: Install Operators and CRDs

Install FRINX Machine operators and custom resource definitions (CRDs):

helm install -n frinx --create-namespace frinx-machine-operators frinx/frinx-machine-operators

Verify the installation by checking the pods in the frinx namespace:

kubectl get pods -n frinx

You should see output similar to:

NAME                                                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE

frinx-machine-operators-cloudnative-pg-d9566444c-85w8g     1/1     Running   0          25s

# Step 4: Create Docker Registry Secret

Please complete this step before continue

Create docker regitry secret

../docker-registry-secret/

# Step 5: Install FRINX Machine

Install the FRINX Machine using Helm:

helm install -n frinx frinx-machine frinx/frinx-machine --timeout 10m

Verify the installation by checking the pods in the frinx namespace:

kubectl get pods -n frinx

You should see output similar to:

NAME                                                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE

# Step 6: Access the UI

To access ui, use krakend-nginx ingress hostname.

kubectl get ingress -n frinx

You should see output similar to:

NAME            CLASS   HOSTS                      ADDRESS        PORTS   AGE
krakend-nginx   nginx   krakend.127.0.0.1.nip.io   192.168.49.2   80      56m

In case of minikube is required to add the following entries to your /etc/hosts file:

# /etc/hosts
...
192.168.49.2 krakend.127.0.0.1.nip.io fm.127.0.0.1.nip.io
