  • The CSR signing feature is activated in kube-apiserver, see RKE installation issue.

Install KubeSphere using kubectl.

  • If there are 1 Core and 2 GB RAM available in your cluster, use the command below to set up a default minimal installation only. You can enable other components after installation if more resource added in later on. See Pluggable Components Installation for detailed information.
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubesphere/ks-installer/master/kubesphere-minimal.yaml
  • If there are 8 Cores and 16 GB RAM available in your cluster, use the command below to install a complete KubeSphere, i.e. with all components enabled:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubesphere/ks-installer/master/kubesphere-complete-setup.yaml

Wait the installation logs using the following command till showing "Successful", then you can log in the console using the default username and password.

kubectl logs -n kubesphere-system $(kubectl get pod -n kubesphere-system -l app=ks-install -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}') -f
