Install LangSmith on Kubernetes

How to Install LangSmith on Kubernetes with Helm

This guide will walk you through the process of installing LangSmith 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 LangSmith
• Kubernetes Ingress controller - For accessing the installation on a url

Step 1: Add the Helm chart repository

First, add the repository containing the LangSmith helm chart:

helm repo add langchain https://langchain-ai.github.io/helm/
helm repo update
helm search repo langsmith

Step 2: Create a namespace (optional)

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

kubectl create namespace langsmith

Step 3: Install LangSmith using Helm

Now, you'll install LangSmith. The helm chart name is "langsmith":

helm install langsmith langchain/langsmith --namespace langsmith --create-namespace

Step 4: Verify the installation

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

kubectl get pods --namespace langsmith
kubectl get all --namespace langsmith

Step 5: Customize the LangSmith installation (optional)

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

helm install langsmith langchain/langsmith --values values.yaml --namespace langsmith

Step 6: Access LangSmith

Accessing LangSmith 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.
