Custom installation and upgrade

Install KubeVela with cert-manager

By default, KubeVela will use a self-signed certificate provided by kube-webhook-certgen for admissionWebhooks. You can also use cert-manager if it's available. Note that you need to install cert-manager before the KubeVela chart.

helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
helm repo update
helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager --namespace cert-manager --version v1.2.0 --create-namespace --set installCRDs=true

Install kubevela with enabled certmanager:

vela install --set admissionWebhooks.certManager.enabled=true

Install Pre-release

# List all releases
vela version list -a

# Install the specified version.
vela install --version 1.3.0-beta.2

Download directly from releases

• Download the latest vela binary file via release log.
• Unzip the binary file, and configure the environment variables in $PATH, and you're done.

sudo mv ./vela /usr/local/bin/vela

Installation Tips: If you are using a Mac system, it will pop up a warning that "vela" cannot be opened because the package from the developer cannot be verified.

MacOS imposes stricter restrictions on the software that can run in the system. You can temporarily solve this problem by opening System Preference ->Security & Privacy -> General and clicking on Allow Anyway.

2. Upgrade Vela Core

vela install --version v1.3.6

3. Upgrade VelaUX

vela addon enable velaux version=v1.3.6

If you set custom parameters during installation, be sure to include the corresponding parameters.
