Install the operator and ingress controller	2019-02-22 15:44:42 -0500	false	1

Use Helm to install the operator and [Traefik](http://github.com/oracle/weblogic-kubernetes-operator/blob/{{< latestMinorVersion >}}/kubernetes/samples/charts/traefik/README.md) ingress controller.

First, install the operator.

1. Create a namespace for the operator.

   $ kubectl create namespace sample-weblogic-operator-ns

2. Create a service account for the operator in the operator's namespace.

   $ kubectl create serviceaccount -n sample-weblogic-operator-ns sample-weblogic-operator-sa

3. Set up Helm with the location of the operator Helm chart using this format: helm repo add <helm-chart-repo-name> <helm-chart-repo-url>

   $ helm repo add weblogic-operator https://oracle.github.io/weblogic-kubernetes-operator/charts --force-update  

4. Install the operator using this format: helm install <helm-release-name> <helm-chart-repo-name>/weblogic-operator ...

   $ helm install sample-weblogic-operator weblogic-operator/weblogic-operator \
     --namespace sample-weblogic-operator-ns \
     --set serviceAccount=sample-weblogic-operator-sa \
     --wait

   This Helm release deploys the operator with the default behavior of managing Domains in all Kubernetes namespaces with the label weblogic-operator=enabled.

5. Verify that the operator's pod is running by listing the pods in the operator's namespace. You should see one for the operator and one for the [conversion webhook]({{< relref "/managing-operators/conversion-webhook#introduction" >}}), a singleton Deployment in your Kubernetes cluster that automatically and transparently upgrades domain resources.

   $ kubectl get pods -n sample-weblogic-operator-ns

6. Verify that the operator is up and running by viewing the operator pod's log.

   $ kubectl logs -n sample-weblogic-operator-ns -c weblogic-operator deployments/weblogic-operator

Create a Traefik ingress controller.

1. Set up Helm with the location of the Traefik Helm chart using this format: helm repo add <helm-chart-repo-name> <helm-chart-repo-url>

   $ helm repo add traefik https://helm.traefik.io/traefik --force-update

2. Create a namespace for the ingress controller.

   $ kubectl create namespace traefik

3. Install Traefik using this format: helm install <helm-release-name> <helm-chart-repo-name>/traefik ...

   $ helm install traefik-operator traefik/traefik \
       --namespace traefik \
       --set "ports.web.nodePort=30305" \
       --set "ports.websecure.nodePort=30443" \
       --set "kubernetes.namespaces={traefik}"

   This deploys the Traefik controller with plain text node port 30305, SSL node port 30443, and kubernetes.namespaces specifically set.
