Spinnaker All-In-One (Minnaker) Quick Start

Previously known as Mini-Spinnaker

Minnaker is currently intended for POCs and trying out Spinnaker.

Background

Minnaker performs the following actions when run on a single Linux instance:

Installs k3s with Traefik turned off.
Installs minio in k3s with a local volume.
Sets up Halyard in a Docker container (running in Kubernetes).
Installs Spinnaker using Halyard.
Minnaker uses local authentication. The username is admin and the password is randomly generated when you install Minnaker. Find more details about getting the password in Accessing Spinnaker.
[Optionally] Configures development environment.

Requirements

To use Minnaker, make sure your Linux instance meets the following requirements:

Linux distribution running in a VM or bare metal
- Ubuntu 18.04 or Debian 10 (VM or bare metal)
- 2 vCPUs (recommend 4)
- 8GiB of RAM (recommend 16)
- 30GiB of HDD (recommend 40+)
- NAT or Bridged networking with access to the internet
- Install curl and tar (if they're not already installed):
  - sudo apt-get install curl tar
- Port 443 on your VM needs to be accessible from your workstation / browser. By default, Minnaker installs Spinnaker and configures it to listen on port 443, using paths / and /api/v1(for the UI and API).
OSX
- Docker Desktop local Kubernetes cluster enabled
- At least 6 GiB of memory allocated to Docker Desktop
On Ubuntu, the Minnaker installer will install K3s for you (a minimal installation of Kubernetes), so you do not have to pre-install Docker or Kubernetes.

Changelog

As of 1/14/2020, Minnaker only uses a kubernetes service account for its local deployment, and supports installation on Docker for Desktop. It no longer needs a private IP link, only the public endpoint (only need -P, not -p).
As of 11/11/2019, Minnaker uses port 443 (instead of 80) and Traefik's default self-signed certificate.
If you installed Minnaker prior to November 2019, you can switch to the new path mechanism using Switch to Paths.
As of 10/18/2019, Minnaker no longer uses port 8084.

Installation

Login (SSH) to your VM or bare metal box.

Download the minnaker tarball:

curl -LO https://github.com/armory/minnaker/releases/download/0.0.9/minnaker.tgz

Untar the tarball (will create a ./minnaker directory in your current working directory):
```
tar -xzvf minnaker.tgz
```
Change into the directory:
```
cd minnaker
```
Execute the install script. Note the following options before running the script:
- Add the -o flag if you want to install open source Spinnaker.
- By default, the script installs Armory Spinnaker and uses your public IP address (determined by curling ifconfig.co) as the endpoint for Spinnaker.
- For bare metal or a local VM, specify the IP address for your server with -P flag. -P is the 'Public Endpoint' and must be an address or DNS name you will use to access Spinnaker (an IP address reachable by your end users).
```
./scripts/install.sh
```
If you would like to install Open Source Spinnaker, use the -o flag.

For example, the following command installs OSS Spinnaker on a VM with the IP address of 192.168.10.1:
```
export PRIVATE_ENDPOINT=192.168.10.1
./scripts/install.sh -o -P $PRIVATE_ENDPOINT
```
Installation can take between 5-10 minutes to complete depending on VM size.
Once Minnaker is up and running, you can make changes to its configuration using hal. For example, to change the version of Spinnaker that is installed, you can use this:
```
hal config version edit --version 2.17.4

hal deploy apply
```
By default, Minnaker will install the latest GA version of Spinnaker available.

Accessing Spinnaker

Determine the public endpoint for Spinnaker
```
grep override /etc/spinnaker/.hal/config
```
Use the first URL.
Get the Spinnaker password. On the Linux host, run the following command:
```
cat /etc/spinnaker/.hal/.secret/spinnaker_password
```
In your browser, navigate to the IP_ADDR (https://IP/) for Spinnaker from step 1. This is Deck, the Spinnaker UI.

If you installed Minnaker on a local VM, you must access it from your local machine. If you deployed Minnaker in the cloud, such as an EC2 instance, you can access Spinnaker from any machine that has access to that 'Public IP'.
Log in to Deck with the following credentials:

Username: admin

Password: <Password from step 2>

Changing Your Spinnaker Configuration

SSH into the machine where you have installed Spinnaker

Access the Halyard pod:

export HAL_POD=$(kubectl -n spinnaker get pod -l app=halyard -oname | cut -d'/' -f 2)

kubectl -n spinnaker exec -it ${HAL_POD} bash

Run Halyard configuration commands. For example, the following command allows you to configure and view the current deployment of Spinnaker’s version.
```
hal config version
```
All Halyard configuration files are stored in /etc/spinnaker/.hal

For more information about Armory's Halyard, see Armory Halyard commands.

For more information about open source Halyard, see Halyard commands.
When finished, use the exit command to leave the pod.

Next Steps

After you finish your installation of Minnaker, go through our AWS QuickStart to learn how to deploy applications to AWS with Spinnaker.

Alternatively, take a look at the available Minnaker guides.

Details

If you shut down and restart the instance and it gets different IP addresses, you'll have to update Spinnaker with the new IP address(es):
- If the public IP address has changed:
  - Update /etc/spinnaker/.hal/public_endpoint with the new public IP address
  - Update /etc/spinnaker/.hal/config Update with the new public IP addresses (Look for both overrideBaseUrl fields) (if you haven't switched to DNS)
  - /etc/spinnaker/.hal/config-seed Update with the new public IP addresses (Look for both overrideBaseUrl fields) (if you haven't switched to DNS)
- Run hal deploy apply
Certificate support isn't yet documented. There are several ways to achieve this:
- Using actual cert files: create certs that Traefik can use in the ingress definition(s)
- Using ACM or equivalent: put a certificate in front of the instance and change the overrides
- Either way, you must use certificates that your browser will trust that match your DNS name (your browser may not prompt to trust the untrusted API certificate)
If you need to get the password again, you can see the generated password in /etc/spinnaker/.hal/.secret/spinnaker_password:
```
cat /etc/spinnaker/.hal/.secret/spinnaker_password
```

Troubleshooting

Under the hood, Minnaker just wraps Halyard (or Operator, depending on which version you're using), so it still runs all the components of Spinnaker as Kubernetes pods in the spinnaker namespace. You can use standard Kubernetes troubleshooting steps to troubleshoot Spinnaker components.

For example, to see all the components of Minnaker:

$ kubectl -n spinnaker get all -o wide
