Version: v1.3

Custom installation and upgrade

By default, KubeVela will use a self-signed certificate provided by kube-webhook-certgen for admissionWebhooks. You can also use cert-manager if it’s available. Note that you need to install cert-manager before the KubeVela chart.

  1. helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
  2. helm repo update
  3. helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager --namespace cert-manager --version v1.2.0 --create-namespace --set installCRDs=true

Install kubevela with enabled certmanager:

  1. vela install --set admissionWebhooks.certManager.enabled=true
  1. # List all releases
  2. vela version list -a
  4. # Install the specified version.
  5. vela install --version 1.3.0-beta.2

Installation Tips: If you are using a Mac system, it will pop up a warning that “vela” cannot be opened because the package from the developer cannot be verified.

MacOS imposes stricter restrictions on the software that can run in the system. You can temporarily solve this problem by opening System Preference ->Security & Privacy -> General and clicking on Allow Anyway.

  1. vela install --version v1.3.6
  1. vela addon enable velaux version=v1.3.6

If you set custom parameters during installation, be sure to include the corresponding parameters.

Install vela kubectl plugin can help you to ship applications more easily!
