Install Langflow on Kubernetes

How to Install Langflow on Kubernetes with Helm

This guide will walk you through the process of installing Langflow using Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, ensuring a smooth and efficient setup.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, ensure you have the following tools installed and configured:

• Kubernetes - Installed locally or in a public cloud provider
• kubectl - Configured to communicate with your Kubernetes cluster
• Helm - For managing Kubernetes applications like Langflow
• Kubernetes Ingress controller - For accessing the installation on a url

Step 1: Add the Helm chart repository

First, add the repository containing the Langflow helm chart:

helm repo add langflow https://langflow-ai.github.io/langflow-helm-charts
helm repo update
helm search repo langflow-ide

Step 2: Create a namespace (optional)

Isolating applications within Kubernetes namespaces is a good practice. To deploy Langflow in its own namespace:

kubectl create namespace langflow

Step 3: Install Langflow using Helm

Now, you'll install Langflow. The helm chart name is "langflow-ide":

helm install langflow langflow/langflow-ide --namespace langflow --create-namespace

Step 4: Verify the installation

After installation, verify that your Langflow deployment is running smoothly:

kubectl get pods --namespace langflow
kubectl get all --namespace langflow

Step 5: Customize the Langflow installation (optional)

This process may require customizing your deployment through a customized values.yaml file, which specifies configuration options.

helm install langflow langflow/langflow-ide --values values.yaml --namespace langflow

Step 6: Access Langflow

Accessing Langflow will depend on your chosen service configuration (LoadBalancer, NodePort, or Ingress). For Ingress access, ensure an Ingress controller is operational in your cluster.

Follow the instructions in the helm install notes, the output of Step 3.
