Installing the Chart

Follow the steps in this section for production grade deployments. You can either clone aqua-helm git repo or you can add our helm private repository (https://helm.aquasec.com)

Installing Aqua Gateway from Github Repo

1. Clone the GitHub repository with the charts

   $ git clone -b 6.2 https://github.com/aquasecurity/aqua-helm.git
   $ cd aqua-helm/

Edit values.yaml file in gateway directory with following details as prerequisite

  1. db.external.name - External database name
  2. db.external.host - External database public IP or endpoint URL
  3. db.external.port - External database port
  4. db.external.user - External database username
  5. db.external.password - External database password
  6. db.external.auditName - External audit database name
  7. db.external.auditHost - External audit database public IP or endpoint URL
  8. db.external.auditPort - External audit database port
  9. db.external.auditUser - External audit database username
  10. db.external.auditPassword - External audit database password
  11. console.publicIP - Aqua CSP console public IP or endpoint URL
  12. console.publicPort - Aqua CSP console public port
  // To load DB passswords from secrets:
  // change passwordFromSecret.enable to true
  // for loading DB password from secret edit passwordFromSecret.dbPasswordName  passwordFromSecret.dbPasswordName with secret name and secret key
  // for loading Audit-DB password from secret edit passwordFromSecret.dbAuditPasswordName  passwordFromSecret.dbAuditPasswordName with secret name and secret key
  // for loading PubSub DB password from secret edit passwordFromSecret.dbPubsubPasswordName  passwordFromSecret.dbPubsubPasswordName with secret name and secret key

2. Create aqua namespace if gateway is being deployed to a new cluster.

   $ kubectl create namespace aqua

3. Install Aqua

   $ helm upgrade --install --namespace aqua gateway ./gateway --set imageCredentials.username=<>,imageCredentials.password=<>,platform=<>

Installing Aqua Gateway from Helm Private Repository

1. Add Aqua Helm Repository

   $ helm repo add aqua-helm https://helm.aquasec.com

2. Check for available chart versions either from Changelog or by running the below command

   $ helm search repo aqua-helm/gateway --versions

3. Create aqua namespace if gateway is being deployed to a new cluster.

   $ kubectl create namespace aqua

4. copy the values.yaml content from Values.yaml to a file and make the respective changes values then run the following command:

   $ helm upgrade --install --namespace aqua gateway aqua-helm/gateway --values values.yaml --version <>
