Architecture Overview

NexClipper Dashboard

Quick Install

NexClipper can be deployed on Kubernetes cluster.

Prerequisites

• Installed Kubernetes Cluster (Master Node, Worker Node 1 more)
• An SSH key pair on your local Linux/macOS/BSD machine.
• Create namespace `nexclipper'
• ***Download yaml files from 'yaml' derectory ***

Prepare deployment

From your master node run kubectl create.

redis

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/redis/deployment.yaml>
  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/redis/service.yaml>

mysql(or mariaDB)

• Update hostpath for volume

// yaml/mysql/deployment.yaml
...
volumes:
  - name: mysql-data
    hostPath:
      path: /nfs/mysql        # update hostpath
...

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/mysql/deployment.yaml>
  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/mysql/service.yaml>

• If you want to use your own database instead of 'detaultdb', Go to

influxdb

• Update hostpath for volume

// yaml/influx/deployment.yaml
...
volumes:
  - name: influx-data
    hostPath:
      path: /nfs/influxdb        # update hostpath
...

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/influxdb/deployment.yaml>
  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/influxdb/service.yaml>

rabbitmq (or kafka)

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/rabbitmq/deployment.yaml>
  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/rabbitmq/service.yaml>

• If you want to use Kafka instead of RabbitMQ, Go to

NexClipper service deployment

workflow

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/workflow/deployment.yaml>

• If you don't use 'defaultdb' for MySQL or use kafka, Go to

collector

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/collector/deployment.yaml>
  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/collector/service.yaml>

• If you don't use 'defaultdb' for MySQL or use kafka, Go to

nexservice

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/nexservice/deployment.yaml>
  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/nexservice/service.yaml>

• If you want to use your own database insted of 'detaultdb', Go to

NexClipper Agent daemonset/deployment

• Deploy NedClipepr Agent on Kubernetes cluster as follows

  • agent deployed by daemonset: get host and docker container's information
  • agent deployed by deployment: get kubernetes cluster's information

• Update agent endpoint into Kubernetes master node ip

// yaml/nexclipper-agent/nexclipper-agent.yaml
...
kind: DaemonSet
...
env:
  - name: agent_endpoint
    value: 192.168.0.180:32100      # <k8s master ip>:<nodeport>
...
kind: Deployment
...
env:
  - name: agent_endpoint
    value: 192.168.0.180:32100      # <k8s master ip>:<nodeport>
...

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/nexclipper-agent/nexclipper-agent.yaml>
