This page describes how to install Portworx Object Service.

Prerequisites

To install Portworx Object Service, you must meet the following prerequisites:

Installation

Portworx Object Service objects are managed by Stork, and they interact with a target Portworx Enterprise instance. The Portworx Object Service SDK is located in the target Portworx Enterprise instance. This allows you to create buckets, delete buckets, and provide or revoke access to buckets.

Additionally, you must provide access to the backend bucket service through environment variables. Because Portworx Object Service is in early access, extra steps are required to enable and set up the Portworx Object Service controller. The following steps allow Portworx Enterprise to create and provide access to buckets on behalf of the credentials provided:

1. Enable the Portworx Object Service controller flag in Stork by adding the following args to your StorageCluster spec:

   spec:
     ...
     stork:
       enabled: true
       args:
         px-object-controller: "true"

3. Add environment variables for bucket credentials to your StorageCluster spec.
