How to Install Radical

Kubernetes

Required Tech

• Kompose
• Kubernetes

Step 1: Choose a provider

I use GKE standard with one node, as Autopilot for some reason charged me 10 bucks in a day.

Step 2: Get your connection details.

This involves getting a kubectl profile setup.

Step 3: Build a version of the frontend.

Clone the frontend and run docker build --build-args APIURL=<API URL> .

After this, publish it somewhere (I put rustcms.org on DockerHub.)

Step 4: Edit the docker-compose.yml file.

Remove https://github.com/Rust-CMS/dashboard-cms and add your URL.

Change the database password.

Change the APP_JWT_KEY env variable.

Run kompose convert in the working directory.

Step 5: Deploy!

Run ./redeploy.sh.

Docker Compose

Step 1

SSH on to a server of your choice. (Can be as low as 1 vCPU and 512 MB of ram. rustcms.org runs on 2 vCPUs and 1 GB of RAM)

Install Docker and docker-compose.

(See how to do this for the OS of my choice, and what rustcms.org runs on: ubuntu)

Step 2

Run: git clone git@github.com:Rust-CMS/tooling.git && cd tooling

Step 3

Edit the docker-compose.yml file with an editor of your choice. (If you are on Ubuntu, do nano docker-compose.yml)

Change the args for the frontend to have the IP/domain name of your server. This is the url for the API.

In the backend section, change the address to the address of your database. It is by default set to a kubernetes setup.

Step 4

Run docker-compose up --detach.

Let it sit while it compiles the frontend, and you're done!
