Install Meshery on Kubernetes Using Helm

Prerequisites

  1. Helm should be installed on your local machine.
  2. You should have access to the cluster/platform where you want to deploy Meshery.
  3. Ensure that the kubeconfig file has the correct current context/cluster configuration.

Install Meshery on Your Kubernetes Cluster Using Helm


helm repo add meshery https://meshery.io/charts/
helm install meshery meshery/meshery --namespace meshery --create-namespace
helm install meshery-operator meshery/meshery-operator

Optionally, Meshery Server supports customizing the callback URL for your remote provider, like so:


helm install meshery meshery/meshery --namespace meshery --set env.MESHERY_SERVER_CALLBACK_URL=https://custom-host --create-namespace

Customizing Meshery’s Installation with values.yaml

Meshery’s Helm chart supports a number of configuration options. Please refer to the Meshery Helm chart and Meshery Operator Helm Chart for more information.

Post-Installation Steps

Optionally, you can verify the health of your Meshery deployment, using mesheryctl system check.

You’re ready to use Meshery! Open your browser and navigate to the Meshery UI.

Accessing Meshery UI

After successfully deploying Meshery, you can access Meshery’s web-based user interface. Your default browser will be automatically opened and directed to Meshery UI (default location is http://localhost:9081).

If you are unable to access Meshery UI, you can use the following command to open Meshery UI in your default browser:


 mesheryctl system dashboard

If you have installed Meshery on Kubernetes or a remote host, you can access Meshery UI by exposing it as a Kubernetes service or by port forwarding to Meshery UI.


 mesheryctl system dashboard --port-forward

Alternatively, you can use kubectl to port forward to Meshery UI. Example


kubectl port-forward svc/meshery 9081:9081 --namespace meshery

Log into the Provider of your choice.
