Install Devtron on Minikube, Microk8s, K3s, Kind

You can install and try Devtron on a high-end machine or on a Cloud VM. If you install it on a laptop/PC, it may start to respond slow, so it is recommended to uninstall Devtron from your system before shutting it down.
System Configurations for Devtron Installation
1.2 vCPUs
2.4GB+ of free memory
3.20GB+ free disk space
Before you begin
Before we get started and install Devtron, you must set up the cluster in you server and install the pre-requisite requirements:
Create cluster using Minikube or Kind or K3s.
Install Helm3.
Install kubectl.
Install Devtron
 Minikube/Kind cluster
k3s Cluster
To install devtron on Minikube/kind cluster, run the following command:
helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai
​
helm install devtron devtron/devtron-operator \
--create-namespace --namespace devtroncd \
--set components.devtron.service.type=NodePort 
​
To install devtron on k3s cluster, run the following command:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancher/local-path-provisioner/master/deploy/local-path-storage.yaml
​
helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai
​
helm install devtron devtron/devtron-operator \
--create-namespace --namespace devtroncd \
--set components.devtron.service.type=NodePort
​
Devtron dashboard
To access Devtron dashboard when using Minikube as cluster, run the following command:
minikube service devtron-service --namespace devtroncd
To access Devtron dashboard when using Kind/k3s as cluster, run the following command to port forward the devtron service to port 8000:
kubectl -ndevtroncd port-forward service/devtron-service 8000:80
Dashboard: http://127.0.0.1:8000.
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:
kubectl -n devtroncd get secret devtron-secret \
-o jsonpath='{.data.ADMIN_PASSWORD}' | base64 -d
For Devtron version less than v0.6.0
Username: admin
Password: Run the following command to get the admin password:
kubectl -n devtroncd get secret devtron-secret \
-o jsonpath='{.data.ACD_PASSWORD}' | base64 -d
Install Devtron on Cloud VM (AWS ec2, Azure VM, GCP VM)
It is recommended to use Cloud VM with 2vCPU+, 4GB+ free Memory, 20GB+ Storage, Compute Optimized VM type & Ubuntu Flavoured OS.
Create Microk8s Cluster
sudo snap install microk8s --classic --channel=1.22
sudo usermod -a -G microk8s $USER
sudo chown -f -R $USER ~/.kube
newgrp microk8s
microk8s enable dns storage helm3
echo "alias kubectl='microk8s kubectl '" >> .bashrc
echo "alias helm='microk8s helm3 '" >> .bashrc
source .bashrc
Install devtron
helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai
​
helm install devtron devtron/devtron-operator \
--create-namespace --namespace devtroncd \
--set components.devtron.service.type=NodePort 
​
Run the following command to get the devtron-service port number:
kubectl get svc -n devtroncd devtron-service -o jsonpath='{.spec.ports[0].nodePort}'
Make sure that the port on which the devtron-service runs remain open in the VM's security group or network Security group.
Note: If you want to uninstall Devtron or clean Devtron helm installer, refer our uninstall Devtron.
