Netmaker Install

  • Advance install for netmaker allows the setup of a highly available installation within Kubernetes through helm.

  • The default settings may not install wireguard at the kernel level (for security reasons) and default to Postgres for storage.

    • Not having kernel level wireguard may cause performance drops and they recommend that you install wireguard before beginning.
  • Helm Install Commands:

    • helm repo add netmaker https://gravitl.github.io/netmaker-helm/
      helm repo update
    • If you do not have helm or kubernetes setup, we recommend you visit our kubernetes setup.

  • The storage of the certificates will be an issue for this netmaker cluster, they recommend two types of storage classes:

    • RWO - Read Write Once - Storage instance where only a single node is allowed to access the storage volume at a time for read and write access.
    • RWX - Read Write Many - Storage instance where many nodes can concurrently read and write to the storage volume.
