Install Addons

With the release of KubeBlocks v0.8.0, Addons are decoupled from KubeBlocks and some Addons are not installed by default. If you want to use these Addons, install Addons first by index. Or if you uninstalled some Addons, you can follow the steps in this tutorial to install them again.

This tutorial takes etcd as an example. You can replace etcd with the Addon you need.

The official index repo is KubeBlocks index. The code of all Addons is maintained in the KubeBlocks Addon repo.

  1. (Optional) Add the KubeBlocks repo. If you install KubeBlocks with Helm, just run helm repo update.

    helm repo add kubeblocks https://apecloud.github.io/helm-charts
    helm repo update

  2. View the Addon versions.

    helm search repo kubeblocks/etcd --devel --versions

  3. Install the Addon (take etcd as example). Specify a version with --version.

    helm install etcd kubeblocks/etcd --namespace kb-system --create-namespace --version x.y.z

  4. Verify whether this Addon is installed.

    The STATUS is deployed and this Addon is installed successfully.

    helm list -A

  5. (Optional) You can run the command below to disable the Addon.
