Install Postiz on Kubernetes

How to Install Postiz on Kubernetes with Helm

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

Step 1: Add the Helm chart repository

First, add the repository containing the Postiz helm chart:

helm repo add postiz https://ghcr.io/gitroomhq/postiz-helmchart/charts/postiz-app
helm repo update
helm search repo postiz

Step 2: Create a namespace (optional)

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

kubectl create namespace postiz

Step 3: Install Postiz using Helm

Now, you'll install Postiz. The helm chart name is "postiz":

helm install postiz postiz/postiz --namespace postiz --create-namespace

Step 4: Verify the installation

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

kubectl get pods --namespace postiz
kubectl get all --namespace postiz

Step 5: Customize the Postiz installation (optional)

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

helm install postiz postiz/postiz --values values.yaml --namespace postiz

Step 6: Access Postiz

Accessing Postiz 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.
