Install in Non-Airgapped Environments

This section provides comprehensive guidance for installing Portworx Backup in environments with internet connectivity. Non-airgapped installations can directly access external repositories and registries, simplifying the installation process.

Overview​

Installing Portworx Backup in non-airgapped environments involves using the Portworx Backup Spec Generator, a web-based tool that helps you configure and generate installation specifications. The process is streamlined for environments with internet access.

Prerequisites​

Before starting the installation, ensure you have:

  • Kubernetes cluster: A running Kubernetes cluster (version 1.19 or later) with internet connectivity that can access external container registries and download required images during installation.
  • kubectl: The Kubernetes command-line tool properly configured with cluster credentials and able to execute commands against your target cluster.
  • Helm 3.x: Helm package manager (version 3.0 or later) installed on your local machine or deployment environment to manage the Portworx Backup installation.
  • Storage class: A configured storage class that can provision persistent volumes for Portworx Backup components, with at least 100GB of available storage capacity.
  • Administrative access: Cluster administrator privileges or sufficient RBAC permissions to create namespaces, deploy applications, and manage cluster-wide resources.
