Install
Using Helm 3
KubeDB can be installed via Helm using the chart from AppsCode Charts Repository. To install, follow the steps below:
$ helm install kubedb oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/kubedb \
--version v2024.4.27 \
--namespace kubedb --create-namespace \
--set-file global.license=/path/to/the/license.txt \
--wait --burst-limit=10000 --debug
If you are using private Docker registries using self-signed certificates, please pass the registry domains to the operator like below:
$ helm install kubedb oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/kubedb \
--version v2024.4.27 \
--namespace kubedb --create-namespace \
--set global.insecureRegistries[0]=hub.example.com \
--set global.insecureRegistries[1]=hub2.example.com \
--set-file global.license=/path/to/the/license.txt \
--wait --burst-limit=10000 --debug

--version v2024.4.27 \
--namespace kubedb --create-namespace \
--set-file global.license=/path/to/the/license.txt \
--set global.skipCleaner=true | kubectl apply -f -

Verify installation
To check if KubeDB operator pods have started, run the following command:
$ watch kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l "app.kubernetes.io/instance=kubedb"
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
kubedb-kubedb-autoscaler-b5dd47dc5-bxnrq 1/1 Running 0 48s

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=kubedb
