Install Lago on Kubernetes

How to Install Lago on Kubernetes with Helm

This guide will walk you through the process of installing Lago using Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following tools installed and configured:

• Kubernetes - Installed locally or in a public cloud provider
• kubectl - Configured to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster
• Helm - For managing Kubernetes applications like Lago
• Kubernetes Ingress controller - For accessing the installation on a url

Step 1: Add the Helm chart repository

First, add the repository containing the Lago helm chart:

helm repo add lago https://charts.getlago.com
helm repo update
helm search repo lago

Step 2: Create a namespace (optional)

Isolating applications within Kubernetes namespaces is a good practice. To deploy Lago in its own namespace:

kubectl create namespace lago

Step 3: Install Lago using Helm

Now, you'll install Lago. The helm chart name is "lago":

helm install lago lago/lago --namespace lago --create-namespace

Step 4: Verify the installation

After installation, verify that your Lago deployment is running smoothly:

kubectl get pods --namespace lago
kubectl get all --namespace lago

Step 5: Customize the Lago installation (optional)

This process may require customizing your deployment through a customized values.yaml file, which specifies configuration options.

helm install lago lago/lago --values values.yaml --namespace lago

Step 6: Access Lago

Accessing Lago will depend on your chosen service configuration (LoadBalancer, NodePort, or Ingress). For Ingress access, ensure an Ingress controller is operational in your cluster.

Follow the instructions in the helm install notes, the output of Step 3.
