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 Helm 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:
Copy helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai
helm repo update devtron
helm install devtron devtron/devtron-operator \
--create-namespace --namespace devtroncd \
--set installer.modules={cicd} \
--set argo-cd.enabled= true
Note : If you want to configure Blob Storage during the installation, refer configure blob storage duing installation .
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 :
If you want to install Devtron for production deployments
, please refer to our recommended overrides for Devtron Installation .
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:
MinIO Storage AWS S3 Bucket Azure Blob Storage Google Cloud Storage
Run the following command to install Devtron along with MinIO for storing logs and cache.
Copy helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai
helm repo update devtron
helm install devtron devtron/devtron-operator \
--create-namespace --namespace devtroncd \
--set installer.modules={cicd} \
--set minio.enabled= true \
--set argo-cd.enabled= true
Note : Unlike global cloud providers such as AWS S3 Bucket, Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage, MinIO can be hosted locally also.
Refer to the AWS specific
parameters on the Storage for Logs and Cache page.
Run the following command to install Devtron along with AWS S3 buckets for storing build logs and cache:
Install using S3 IAM policy.
Note: Please ensure that S3 permission policy to the IAM role attached to the nodes of the cluster if you are using below command.
Copy helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai
helm repo update devtron
helm install devtron devtron/devtron-operator \
--create-namespace --namespace devtroncd \
--set installer.modules={cicd} \
--set configs.BLOB_STORAGE_PROVIDER=S3 \
--set configs.DEFAULT_CACHE_BUCKET=demo-s3-bucket \

--set configs.DEFAULT_BUILD_LOGS_BUCKET=demo-s3-bucket \
--set configs.DEFAULT_CD_LOGS_BUCKET_REGION=us-east-1 \
--set argo-cd.enabled= true
Install using access-key and secret-key for AWS S3 authentication:
Copy helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai

--set secrets.BLOB_STORAGE_S3_ACCESS_KEY= < access-ke y > \
--set secrets.BLOB_STORAGE_S3_SECRET_KEY= < secret-ke y > \
--set argo-cd.enabled= true
Install using S3 compatible storages:
Copy helm repo add devtron https://helm.devtron.ai

--set secrets.BLOB_STORAGE_S3_ACCESS_KEY= < access-ke y > \
--set secrets.BLOB_STORAGE_S3_SECRET_KEY= < secret-ke y > \
--set configs.BLOB_STORAGE_S3_ENDPOINT= < endpoin t > \
--set argo-cd.enabled= true

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:
Copy kubectl -n devtroncd get installers installer-devtron \
-o jsonpath= '{.status.sync.status}'
The command executes with one of the following output messages, indicating the status of the installation:
Status Description The installer has downloaded all the manifests, and the installation is in progress.
The installer has successfully applied all the manifests, and the installation is completed.
Check the installer logs
Run the following command to check the installer logs:
Copy kubectl logs -f -l app=inception -n devtroncd
Devtron dashboard
Run the following command to get the Devtron dashboard URL:
Copy kubectl get svc -n devtroncd devtron-service \
-o jsonpath= '{.status.loadBalancer.ingress}'
You will get an output similar to the example shown below:
Copy [map[hostname:aaff16e9760594a92afa0140dbfd99f7-305259315.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com]]
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.
Host Type Points to aaff16e9760594a92afa0140dbfd99f7-305259315.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com
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:
Copy kubectl -n devtroncd get secret devtron-secret \
-o jsonpath= '{.data.ADMIN_PASSWORD}' | base64 -d
For Devtron version less than v0.6.0Username : admin
Password : Run the following command to get the admin password:
Copy kubectl -n devtroncd get secret devtron-secret \
-o jsonpath= '{.data.ACD_PASSWORD}' | base64 -d
