Preparing Environment

How to prepare deployment configuration files to install mId services.

This is done by editing the mPower deployment meta-configuration file "values.yaml". When using the dependency package to deployment of a runtime environment for mPower then also edit the dependency deployment meta-configuration file "values.yaml".

The mPower and related dependencies in Kobil chart packages will include default deployment meta-configuration files covering a best-practice setup and will be enough for a test-install for demo-purposes.
You may run the "values-prepare.sh" script creating specific random/hash/keys to setup with your individual secrets (see below).

Editing mPower main meta-configuration file values.yaml​

The mPower main "values.yaml" (mPower meta configuration file) covers all parameter (key-value pairs) to configure the majority of the deployment relevant setup.

Ahead of this, the deployment meta-configuration file could be extended adding key-value pairs from Kobil services sub-charts "values.yaml" configuration. This could be required in case of specific needs for service configuration. Advantage to add the specific key-value pairs (parameters) into the main deployment meta-configuration file is, that you have all deployment related setup in this single meta-configuration file and you can make use of the default helm chart package without a need to modification there.

Honoring the chart declaration hierarchy is required to enable the extended key-values pairs inside the meta-configuration file. By this logic the extended settings from the meta-configuration file will overrule the sub-chart parameter settings. Note: in case adding additional key-values pairs into meta-configuration file the Kobil chart hierarchy structure is important; in case of hierarchy mismatch then these are ignored)

Editing the mPower main "values.yaml" will allow to enabled/disable Kobil service components which are then not installed during helm deployment. For full explanation of all components have look to the Installation Guide.

Editing dependency main values.yaml​

The dependency main deployment meta-config "values.yaml" covers all parameter (key-value pairs) to configure the majority of the deployment relevant setup. Ahead of this the deployment meta-configuration file could be extended adding key-value pairs to address specific needs for the enabled services.

  • edits required ahead of default values in shipped dependency prior known as dependency deployment meta-config file
  • edits optional ahead of defaults

Running "values-prepare.sh" script provided by the mPower chart package to create unique key-value pairs for the Kobil Services integrations using randoms/hashes and keys/cert.
The default sample files covered by the default mPower chart package meta-configuration file should be updated to ensure unique parameter for your installation.

To do so - just enable execution for the script "values-prepare.sh" and run this. The script run will create result file covering advise which key-value pairs/parameter should be modified for the mPower meta-configuration file.
