We recommend creating separate namespaces for each product e.g. HiveMQ, Kafka, Swarm etc to easily manage the installations.
Create a HiveMQ namespace
Create a new namespace
kubectl create namespace hivemq
Set the namespace as the default
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=hivemq
You can confirm your namespace using the following
Code Block kubectl config view --minify -o jsonpath='{..namespace}'
Add Helm repository
To use the HiveMQ Kubernetes Operator to deploy and manage your HiveMQ cluster on the Kubernetes nodes, you need to add the HiveMQ Helm repository to your Helm installation:
Code Block |
---|
helm repo add hivemq https://hivemq.github.io/helm-charts |
Code Block |
---|
helm repo update |
Download the values.yaml file and open it in a code editor of your choice( we use VSCode). This file will be modified for configuration changes in the future
Code Block |
---|
helm show values hivemq/hivemq-operator > values.yaml |
...
nodecount: 3
cpu: "4"
memory: "4Gi"
ephemeralStorage: "15Gi"
Apply the changes to the cluster
Code Block |
---|
helm upgrade hivemq --install hivemq/hivemq-operator --values values.yaml |
Verify if the HiveMQ Cluster is running successfully
Please make sure that pods are running successfully after the change, it may take some time for the pods to be ready
