Getting started

Save the chart locally

To save the chart on your machine, run the following command:

$ helm pull blackduck/blackduck -d <DESTINATION_FOLDER> --untar

This will extract the charts to the specified folder (as denoted by the -d flag in the above command), which contains the necessary files to deploy the application.

Create a namespace

Create a namespace by running the commands below. The example uses bd, but you can replace it with any name of your choice.

$ BD_NAME="bd"
$ kubectl create ns ${BD_NAME}

Create a custom TLS secret (optional)

It's common to provide a custom web server TLS secret before installing the Black Duck Helm chart. Create the secret with the command below:

$ BD_NAME="bd"
$ kubectl create secret generic ${BD_NAME}-blackduck-webserver-certificate -n ${BD_NAME} --from-file=WEBSERVER_CUSTOM_CERT_FILE=tls.crt --from-file=WEBSERVER_CUSTOM_KEY_FILE=tls.key

Next, update the TLS certificate for Black Duck block in values.yaml, ensuring to uncomment the tlsCertSecretName value (tls.crt and tls.key files are required). If the value tlsCertSecretName is not provided then Black Duck will generate its own certificates.

tlsCertSecretName: ${BD_NAME}-blackduck-webserver-certificate
