# Introduction
|
||
|
||
This is a [Helm](https://helm.sh/) chart for installing Mastodon into a
|
||
Kubernetes cluster. The basic usage is:
|
||
|
||
1. edit `values.yaml` or create a separate yaml file for custom values
|
||
1. `helm dep update`
|
||
1. `helm install --namespace mastodon --create-namespace my-mastodon ./ -f path/to/additional/values.yaml`
|
||
|
||
This chart has been tested on Helm 3.0.1 and above.
|
||
|
||
# Configuration
|
||
|
||
The variables that _must_ be configured are:
|
||
|
||
- password and keys in the `mastodon.secrets`, `postgresql`, and `redis` groups; if
|
||
left blank, some of those values will be autogenerated, but will not persist
|
||
across upgrades.
|
||
|
||
- SMTP settings for your mailer in the `mastodon.smtp` group.
|
||
|
||
# Administration
|
||
|
||
You can run [admin CLI](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/tootctl/) commands in the web deployment.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
kubectl -n mastodon exec -it deployment/mastodon-web -- bash
|
||
tootctl accounts modify admin --reset-password
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
or
|
||
```bash
|
||
kubectl -n mastodon exec -it deployment/mastodon-web -- tootctl accounts modify admin --reset-password
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
# Missing features
|
||
|
||
Currently this chart does _not_ support:
|
||
|
||
- Hidden services
|
||
- Swift
|
||
|
||
# Upgrading
|
||
|
||
Because database migrations are managed as a Job separate from the Rails and
|
||
Sidekiq deployments, it’s possible they will occur in the wrong order. After
|
||
upgrading Mastodon versions, it may sometimes be necessary to manually delete
|
||
the Rails and Sidekiq pods so that they are recreated against the latest
|
||
migration.
