helm install stable/gocd returns an error

Question

After installing helm I'm trying to install gocd for containerizing.

Command helm install stable/gocd --name gocd --namespace gocd is throwing the following error:

Error: Get https://10.96.0.1:443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/configmaps?labelSelector=OWNER%!D(MISSING)TILLER: dial tcp 10.96.0.1:443: i/o timeout

Please help in resolving this issue. What may be the error? How can I correct it so that gocd is installed through helm?

Answer 1

Install the GoCD Helm chart Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes. Kubernetes packages are called charts. Charts are curated applications for Kubernetes.

Install the GoCD Helm chart with these commands:

helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com
helm install stable/gocd --name gocd --namespace gocd

Access the GoCD server After you’ve installed the GoCD helm chart, you should be able to access the GoCD server from the Ingress IP.

The Ingress IP address can be obtained as specified below:

Minikube

minikube ip  

Others

ip=$(kubectl get ingress --namespace gocd gocd-server -o jsonpath="{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}")
echo "http://$ip"

It might take a few minutes for the GoCD server to come up for the first time. You can check if the GoCD server is up with this command:

kubectl get deployments --namespace gocd

The column Available should show 1 for gocd-server.

The GoCD server on startup will look like this.

Now that you have accessed the GoCD server successfully, you will need to configure the Kubernetes elastic agent plugin.
