Install
Stash operator can be installed as a Helm chart or simply as Kubernetes manifests.
Using Helm 3
Stash can be installed via Helm using the chart from AppsCode Charts Repository. To install the chart with the release name stash:
$ helm install stash oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/stash \
--version v2024.12.18 \
--namespace stash --create-namespace \
--set features.enterprise=true \
--set-file global.license=/path/to/the/license.txt \
--wait --burst-limit=10000 --debug
To see the detailed configuration options, visit here.
Using YAML
If you prefer to not use Helm, you can generate YAMLs from Stash chart and deploy using kubectl. Here we are going to show the prodecure using Helm 3.
$ helm template stash oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/stash \
--version v2024.12.18 \
--namespace stash --create-namespace \
--set features.enterprise=true \
--set global.skipCleaner=true \
--set-file global.license=/path/to/the/license.txt | kubectl apply -f -
To see the detailed configuration options, visit here.
Verify installation
To check if Stash operator pods have started, run the following command:
❯ kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l app.kubernetes.io/name=stash-enterprise --watch
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
kube-system stash-stash-enterprise-678bcb6db4-267vk 2/2 Running 0 3m
Once the operator pod is running, you can cancel the above command by typing Ctrl+C.
Now, to confirm CRD groups have been registered by the operator, run the following command:
$ kubectl get crd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=stash
