How to install Fabric8 outside openshift? #553

Open go2murali opened 7 years ago

go2murali commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Can we install Fabric8 in separate VM outside openshift? Could you please let me know the procedure. We want to use Fabric8 for CI/CD of applications inside openshift. But want to install Fabric8 outside of openshift.

fabric8 is designed to run inside kubernetes/openshift; but you can have multiple clusters. Why don't you want to install fabric8 on your openshift cluster? You could try install a separate cluster?

Hi, Install on separate cluster you mean should it have kubernetes in it? or any other method? We actually have openshift cluster, we want to install fabric 8 separately on a VM outside openshift and deploy applications developed using Fabric 8 inside openshift.

@go2murali I'm just trying to grok why you don't want to use the same openshift cluster. OpenShift/kubernetes has namespaces so its easy to reuse the same cluster to install and manage lots of different things.

If you really have a valid reason to keep it separate (e.g. one cluster for dev, one for prod) then yes, just install fabric8 on the dev cluster of openshift/k8s and configure the pipelines to use the prod cluster for builds/deploys.

Though the simplest possible thing is to use one cluster for now ;)
