Install Opik on Kubernetes

How to Install Opik on Kubernetes with Helm

This guide will walk you through the process of installing Opik 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 Opik
• Kubernetes Ingress controller - For accessing the installation on a url

Step 1: Add the Helm chart repository

First, add the repository containing the Opik helm chart:

helm repo add opik https://comet-ml.github.io/opik
helm repo update
helm search repo opik

Step 2: Create a namespace (optional)

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

kubectl create namespace opik

Step 3: Install Opik using Helm

Now, you'll install Opik. The helm chart name is "opik":

helm install opik opik/opik --namespace opik --create-namespace

Step 4: Verify the installation

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

kubectl get pods --namespace opik
kubectl get all --namespace opik

Step 5: Customize the Opik installation (optional)

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

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

Step 6: Access Opik

Accessing Opik 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.
