Quick Start
Who needs documentation, lets just run this thing!
Install​
Fleet is distributed as a Helm chart. Helm 3 is a CLI, has no server side component, and its use is fairly straightforward. To install the Helm 3 CLI follow the official install instructions.
Fleet in Rancher
Rancher has separate helm charts for Fleet and uses a different repository.
- Linux/Mac
- Windows
brew install helm
helm repo add fleet https://rancher.github.io/fleet-helm-charts/
choco install kubernetes-helm
helm repo add fleet https://rancher.github.io/fleet-helm-charts/
Install the Fleet Helm charts (there's two because we separate out CRDs for ultimate flexibility.)
helm -n cattle-fleet-system install --create-namespace --wait fleet-crd \
fleet/fleet-crd
helm -n cattle-fleet-system install --create-namespace --wait fleet \
fleet/fleet
Add a Git Repo to Watch​
Change spec.repo
to your git repo of choice. Kubernetes manifest files that should
be deployed should be in /manifests
in your repo.
cat > example.yaml << "EOF"
apiVersion: fleet.cattle.io/v1alpha1
kind: GitRepo
metadata:
name: sample
# This namespace is special and auto-wired to deploy to the local cluster
namespace: fleet-local
spec:
# Everything from this repo will be ran in this cluster. You trust me right?
repo: "https://github.com/rancher/fleet-examples"
paths:
- simple
EOF
kubectl apply -f example.yaml
Get Status​
Get status of what fleet is doing
kubectl -n fleet-local get fleet
You should see something like this get created in your cluster.
kubectl get deploy frontend
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
frontend 3/3 3 3 116m
Enjoy and read the docs.
