Overview
In our steps for setting up a Yellowfin sandbox, Yellowfin runs on the Kubernetes cluster, with 6GB of allocated RAM.
Before you start, use the following table of information to choose between LoadBalancer and NodePort.
Type | Description | Typical usage |
---|---|---|
LoadBalancer | This setting instructs Kubernetes to interact with a cloud provider to provision a load balancer to route traffic to the Yellowfin service. | Cloud |
NodePort | Publish a port on the Kubernetes cluster that can be used to communicate with the Yellowfin instance. This setting can be used when an environment can’t auto-provision load balancers. | On-premises |
See the official Kubernetes documentation on the service types of LoadBalancer and NodePort for more information.
In our example, we’ve instructed Kubernetes to deploy Yellowfin behind a load balancer using the type: LoadBalancer attribute in the service definition, but we’ve provided details for NodePort too.
To deploy a self-contained instance with these defaults, follow the steps below.
- Ensure Kubernetes is running
Copy the following text and paste it into your preferred text editor:
--- ### Yellowfin All in one Service ### apiVersion: v1 kind: Service metadata: name: yellowfin-all-in-one spec: ports: - name: "web" port: 8080 targetPort: 8080 selector: app: yellowfin-all-in-one type: LoadBalancer status: loadBalancer: {} --- ### Yellowfin All in one Deployment ### apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: namespace: default labels: app: yellowfin-all-in-one name: yellowfin-all-in-one spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: app: yellowfin-all-in-one template: metadata: labels: app: yellowfin-all-in-one spec: containers: - env: - name: APP_MEMORY value: "6144" name: yellowfin-all-in-one image: yellowfinbi/yellowfin-all-in-one:<RELEASE_VERSION_GOES_HERE> ports: - name: web containerPort: 8080
Update
<RELEASE_VERSION_GOES_HERE>
with your release version (eg, 9.6.0)If you don’t wish to provision a load balancer via a cloud provider, replace LoadBalancer with NodePort for Spec.Type, then remove the line for Service.Spec.Status
Save the text to a YAML file called yellowfin-all-in-one.yml
Run the following command in a terminal to deploy Yellowfin and execute it in the background:
kubectl apply -f yellowfin-all-in-one.yml
Start Yellowfin by typing your host URL on port 8080.
