#Rocketchat releases download

The Velero CLI is pre-compiled and available for download on the Velero GitHub page ↗, as stated before i’m running macOS so i’ll download and move the binary into my PATH (adjust this to suit your OS). The Velero CLI isn’t strictly required but it handles a lot of the heavy lifting of creating Velero specific custom resources (CRDs) in K8s that you’d have to do manually otherwise, things like backup schedules and all that jazz.

#Rocketchat releases install

Install Minio on our cluster for use as a backup repo.

Download and install the Velero CLI to our local machine.

To get Velero running on our cluster there are a few steps we need to run through, at a high level (explaination on these components in a bit): I am using macOS, so will be using the brew package manager to install and manage my tools, if you are using Linux or Windows, use the appropriate install guide for each tool, according to your OS.įor each tool I will list the brew install command and the link to the install instructions for other OSes. If you just want to see it running - check out my VMWorld session ↗ and go to 19:30 Prerequisites # Tools # If not - check the blogs mentioned above to get one running. I mean, otherwise you’d have nothing to back up.

I’m assuming you have a K8s cluster up and running with a working storage system. In this post i’d like to take you through the installation and use of Velero, as well as some test backup and restores so you can kick the tyres on your own clusters and maybe give the team some feedback! Velero (formerly Heptio Ark) is a backup, restore and DR orchestration application for your K8s workloads.

It would be nice to backup and restore those should something go wrong - or even, as was my case, I deployed a distro of K8s on my Raspberry Pi cluster that I wasn’t wild about and wanted to move to another - how do you migrate those workloads?Įnter Velero ↗. Let’s say you’ve grown attached to some of the workloads you’re running on one of your clusters, naturally. We’ve covered off prepping and installing K8s on this blog a few different ways with VM templates built manually, with cloud-init, and with ClusterAPI vSphere.
