​
Prerequisites

  • Kubernetes
  • Helm and kubectl
  • Beta9 CLI

​
Dependencies

Beta9 uses an S3-compatible object storage system for its file system. In this example, we’ll deploy localstack.

Without a Localstack license, its data is temporary. If its pod is deleted, the data will be lost. We recommend that you use AWS S3 or something similar.

helm repo add localstack https://localstack.github.io/helm-charts
helm install localstack localstack/localstack --values=- <<EOF
extraEnvVars:
- name: SERVICES
  value: "s3"
enableStartupScripts: true
startupScriptContent: |
  #!/bin/bash
  awslocal s3 mb s3://juicefs
  awslocal s3 mb s3://logs
persistence:
  enabled: true
  storageClass: local-path
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  size: 50Gi
EOF

​
Install Helm Chart

Install the helm chart and open connections to the service.

# Step 1: Install the chart
helm install beta9 oci://public.ecr.aws/n4e0e1y0/beta9-chart --version 0.1.166

# Step 2: Confirm the pods are running
kubectl get pods -w

# Step 3: Open ports to the http and grpc services
kubectl port-forward svc/beta9-gateway 1993 1994

​
Configure the CLI

Create a new config.

./beta9
