Install via Civo Marketplace

This documentation provides detailed instructions on how to install the KubeRocketCI platform via Civo Marketplace. As a prerequisite, make sure to sign up on Civo.

Launch Cluster​

The first step of the installation procedure is to launch the cluster. Please refer to the official instructions that describe this process in detail. To succeed, follow the steps below:

  1. Log in to your personal Civo account.

  2. Create a new Kubernetes cluster with the following parameters. Please refer to the official guidelines for more details:

    • Name: demo
    • How many nodes: 1
    • Select size: Type: Standard, Size: Medium
    • Network: Default
    • Firewall: Create a new firewall with the 6443 and 443 ports opened
    • Advanced options: Kubernetes version: latest (currently 1.28.2)
    • Marketplace: From the CI/CD selection choose Argo CD and Tekton for pre-installation.

  3. Wait till the cluster is created.

    note

    The process of deploying the cluster typically takes about two minutes. Following this, an extra five minutes are needed for the deployment of both the Argo CD and Tekton.

  4. As soon as cluster is deployed, ensure all the marketplace applications are installed, too:

    Check applications

  5. Download and apply the kubeconfig file:

    Download kubeconfig

  6. Ensure all the pods are up and running in both the Tekton and Argo CD namespaces after 5 minutes of waiting. Restart deployments if the pods are failed to deploy:

    kubectl get ns
    kubectl get pods -n tekton-pipelines
    kubectl get pods -n argocd

    Verify installation
