In this example we will demo how to deploy SOAJS by leveraging a Kubernetes cluster running on GCP. You need the following:

Create a kubernetes cluster using the GCP console
Create a mongo cluster using mongoDB cloud.
- Make sure you whitelist the IP(s) of the kubernetes cluster and your IP of the machine you will run the installer from
SOAJS Installer. click here to learn more

Installation steps

1- you need to create a configuration file as follow:

{
  "mongo": {
    "external": true,
    "profile": {
      "credentials": {
        "username": "UUUU",
        "password": "XXXX"
      },
      "servers": [
        {
          "host": "XXXX.mongodb.net"
        }
      ],
      "protocol": "mongodb+srv://",
      "URLParam": {
        "retryWrites": true,
        "writeConcern": {
			"w": "majority"
		},
        "useUnifiedTopology": true
      }
    }
  },
  "kubernetes": {
    "ip": "35.232.82.201",
    "port": 443,
    "token": "dhwbd87y2ed87gcxwe87dx278gdx78egd87d872gcygwxdh287RLNCkhjnbI9u5P4jIiKyn6WWHPRIsJ2GTxT_f66UKv2yxYgcOAn0_6Kd4nXjvAHBJ2LDZAmRbCYSFmfv5QyX7Tok1BSeszI72nwduxg278dgx78egdcx87wgd78ewgd78gwd78gxew78dg78ewd8ew"
  },
  "nginx": {
    "domain": "soajs.org",
    "apiPrefix": "dashboard-api",
    "sitePrefix": "dashboard",
    "deployType": "LoadBalancer",
    "sslType": "pvc",
    "httpPort": 80,
    "httpsPort": 443
  },
  "owner": {
    "email": "team@soajs.org",
    "username": "owner",
    "password": "password"
  }
}

2- Run the following command:

remote installer install command

sudo soajs remote-installer install /..PATH_TO../myconfigfile.json

3- Access SOAJS console.

You need to change the DNS of your domain and then open your browser and go to http://sitePrefix.domain:httpPort/, in the above configuration example it will be: http://dashboard.soajs.org:30080/

Kubernetes on GCP

This is an example of how to pull the required information to use your Kubernetes Cluster on Google Cloud:

Auth Token

Click o the connect button in the Kubernetes Cluster
Click on Run in Cloud Shell on the menu that pops-up.
Run this Command in the browser Shell
kubectl
kubectl describe secrets

Endpoint IP

Click o the name of the kubernets cluster. In the image below, the name is the kubernetes-cluster.
The Endpoint IP is value of the Endpoint int he table below:

Port

The port of the Google Cloud Kubernetes Cluster is 443.

RBAC Authorization

You should bind your Default Service Account (system:serviceaccount:default:default),which is the default account on namespace default bound to Pod with a role cluster-admin. SOAJS needs super permissions to manage your cluster.

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: test-rbac
# test-rbacis an example
subjects:
  - kind: ServiceAccount
    # Reference to upper's `metadata.name`
    name: default
    # Reference to upper's `metadata.namespace`
    namespace: default
roleRef:
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io

Click o the connect button in the Kubernetes Cluster
Click on Run in Cloud Shell on the menu that pops-up.
Run this Command in the browser Shell
kubectl
kubectl apply -f PATHTOFILE/rbac.yaml
