Brigade Dashboard

This is a highly volatile prototype for a web-based, v2-compatible, Brigade dashboard.

Your mileage may vary.

Installation

⚠️  Be sure you are using Helm 3.7.0 or greater and enable experimental OCI support:

$ export HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI=1

1. As the dashboard requires some specific configuration, we'll first create a values file containing those settings. Use the following command to extract the full set of configuration options into a file you can modify:

   $ helm inspect values oci://ghcr.io/brigadecore/brigade-dashboard \
       --version v0.2.0 > ~/brigade-dashboard-values.yaml

2. Edit ~/brigade-dashboard-values.yaml, making the following changes:

   • brigade.apiAddress: Set this to the address of the Brigade API server, beginning with https://.

   • host: Set this to the fully qualified domain name that will resolve to the dashboard. If you do not intend to create a DNS entry for the dashboard, you may ignore this field and leave its default value.

   • service.type: If you plan to enable ingress (advanced) or you're installing on a local, development-grade Kubernetes cluster that cannot provision a public IP for the dashboard, you can leave this as its default -- ClusterIP. If you are deploying the dashboard to a remote Kubernetes cluster with intentions for the dashboard to be publicly accessible, you should change this value to LoadBalancer.

   ⚠️  By default, TLS will be enabled and a self-signed certificate will be generated.

   For a production-grade deployment you should explore the options available for providing or provisioning a certificate signed by a trusted authority. These options can be located under the tls and ingress.tls sections of the values file.

3. Save your changes to ~/brigade-dashboard-values.yaml.

4. Use the following command to install the dashboard:

   $ helm install brigade-dashboard \
       oci://ghcr.io/brigadecore/brigade-dashboard \
       --version v0.2.0 \
       --create-namespace \
       --namespace brigade-dashboard \
       --values ~/brigade-dashboard-values.yaml \
       --wait

Accessing the Dashboard

If you have deployed the dashboard to a remote Kubernetes cluster, have not enabled ingress, and have set the value of service.type to LoadBalancer, you may find the public IP of the dashboard with the following command:

$ kubectl get svc brigade-dashboard \
    --namespace brigade-dashboard \
    --output jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}'

If you overrode default configuration to enable support for an ingress controller, you probably know what you're doing well enough to track down the correct IP for that ingress controller without our help. 😉

If you have deployed the dashboard to a local, development-grade cluster, use the following command to map a port on the local network interface to the dashboard:

$ kubectl port-forward svc/brigade-dashboard \
    --namespace brigade-dashboard \
    8443:443
