Devtron is installed over a Kubernetes cluster. Once you create a Kubernetes cluster, Devtron can be installed standalone or along with CI/CD integration.

Choose one of the options as per your requirements:

Note: If you have questions, please let us know on our discord channel.

In this section, we describe the steps in detail on how you can install Devtron with CI/CD by enabling GitOps during the installation.

Before you begin

Install if you have not installed it.

Install Devtron with CI/CD along with GitOps (Argo CD)

Run the following command to install the latest version of Devtron with CI/CD along with GitOps (Argo CD) module:

Note: If you want to configure Blob Storage during the installation, refer .

Install Multi-Architecture Nodes (ARM and AMD)

To install Devtron on clusters with the multi-architecture nodes (ARM and AMD), append the Devtron installation command with --set installer.arch=multi-arch.

Note:

Configure Blob Storage during Installation

Configuring Blob Storage in your Devtron environment allows you to store build logs and cache. In case, if you do not configure the Blob Storage, then:

• You will not be able to access the build and deployment logs after an hour.

• Build time for commit hash takes longer as cache is not available.

• Artifact reports cannot be generated in pre/post build and deployment stages.

Choose one of the options to configure blob storage:

Check Status of Devtron Installation

Note: The installation takes about 15 to 20 minutes to spin up all of the Devtron microservices one by one.

Run the following command to check the status of the installation:

The command executes with one of the following output messages, indicating the status of the installation:

Check the installer logs

Run the following command to check the installer logs:

Devtron dashboard

Run the following command to get the Devtron dashboard URL:

You will get an output similar to the example shown below:

Use the hostname aaff16e9760594a92afa0140dbfd99f7-305259315.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com (Loadbalancer URL) to access the Devtron dashboard.

Note: If you do not get a hostname or receive a message that says "service doesn't exist," it means Devtron is still installing. Please wait until the installation is completed.

Note: You can also use a CNAME entry corresponding to your domain/subdomain to point to the Loadbalancer URL to access at a customized domain.

Devtron Admin credentials

When you install Devtron for the first time, it creates a default admin user and password (with unrestricted access to Devtron). You can use that credentials to log in as an administrator.

After the initial login, we recommend you set up any SSO service like Google, GitHub, etc., and then add other users (including yourself). Subsequently, all the users can use the same SSO (let's say, GitHub) to log in to Devtron's dashboard.

The section below will help you understand the process of getting the administrator credentials.

For Devtron version v0.6.0 and higher

Username: admin Password: Run the following command to get the admin password:

Introduction

In certain scenarios, you may need to deploy Devtron to a Kubernetes cluster that isn’t connected to the internet. Such air-gapped environments are used for various reasons, particularly in industries with strict regulatory requirements like healthcare, banking, and finance. This is because air-gapped environments aren't exposed to the public internet; therefore, they create a controlled and secure space for handling sensitive data and operations.

Prerequisites

1. Install podman or docker on the VM from where you're executing the installation commands.

2. Clone the Devtron Helm chart:

   Copy

   git clone https://github.com/devtron-labs/devtron.git
   cd devtron

3. Set the values of TARGET_REGISTRY, TARGET_REGISTRY_USERNAME, and TARGET_REGISTRY_TOKEN. This registry should be accessible from the VM where you are running the cloning script and the K8s cluster where you’re installing Devtron.
