Description
This operator easily provides NetBird access on Kubernetes clusters, allowing users to access internal resources directly.
Getting Started
Prerequisites
- (Recommended) helm version 3+
- kubectl version v1.11.3+.
- Access to a Kubernetes v1.11.3+ cluster.
- (Recommended) Cert Manager.
Deployment
[!NOTE] Helm Installation method is recommended due to the automation of multiple settings within the deployment.
Using Helm
- Add helm repository.
helm repo add netbirdio https://netbirdio.github.io/kubernetes-operator
- (Recommended) Install cert-manager.
- (Recommended) Create a values.yaml file, check
helm show values netbirdio/kubernetes-operatorfor more info. - Install using
helm install --create-namespace -f values.yaml -n netbird netbird-operator netbirdio/kubernetes-operator.
Learn more about the values.yaml options here and Granting controller access to NetBird Management.
Using install.yaml
[!IMPORTANT] install.yaml only includes a very basic template for deploying a stripped-down version of Kubernetes-operator. This excludes any and all configurations for ingress capabilities and requires the cert-manager to be installed.
kubectl create namespace netbird
kubectl apply -n netbird -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/netbirdio/kubernetes-operator/refs/heads/main/manifests/install.yaml
