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
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:
helm repo add hivemq https://hivemq.github.io/helm-charts
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
helm show values hivemq/hivemq-operator > values.yaml
