We recommend creating separate namespaces for each product e.g. HiveMQ, Kafka, Swarm etc to easily manage the installations.


Create a HiveMQ namespace

  1. Create a new namespace
    kubectl create namespace hivemq

  2. Set the namespace as the default
    kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=hivemq

  3. You can confirm your namespace using the following

    Code Block
    kubectl config view --minify -o jsonpath='{..namespace}'

Add Helm repository and download values.yaml file

  • 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:

...

The values.yaml contains resource definitions such as cpu , memory , disk size and others. In our case we use the following

  • 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

...

Code Block
kubectl logs deployments/hivemq | grep 'Started HiveMQ in'
