Install the Run:ai Control Plane

Domain certificate

You must provide the domain's private key and crt as a Kubernetes secret in the runai-backend namespace. Run: 

kubectl create secret tls runai-backend-tls -n runai-backend \
    --cert /path/to/fullchain.pem --key /path/to/private.pem

Install the Control Plane

Run the helm command below:

helm repo add runai-backend https://backend-charts.storage.googleapis.com
helm repo update
helm upgrade -i runai-backend -n runai-backend runai-backend/control-plane \
    --set global.domain=<DOMAIN>  # (1)
  1. Domain name described here.

Info

To install a specific version, add --version <version> to the install command. You can find available versions by running helm search repo -l runai-backend.

helm upgrade -i runai-backend control-plane-<VERSION>.tgz  \ # (1)
    --set global.domain=<DOMAIN>  # (2)
    -n runai-backend -f custom-env.yaml  # (3)
  1. Replace <VERSION> with the Run:ai control plane version.
  2. Domain name described here.
  3. custom-env.yaml should have been created by the prepare installation script in the previous section.

Tip

Use the --dry-run flag to gain an understanding of what is being installed before the actual installation.

(Optional) Additional Configurations

There may be cases where you need to set additional properties as follows:

Key Change Description
keycloakx.adminUser User name of the internal identity provider administrator This user is the administrator of Keycloak
keycloakx.adminPassword Password of the internal identity provider administrator This password is for the administrator of Keycloak
global.ingress.ingressClass Ingress class Run:ai default is using NGINX. If your cluster has a different ingress controller, you can configure the ingress class to be created by Run:ai
global.ingress.tlsSecretName TLS secret name Run:ai requires the creation of a secret with domain certificate. See above. If the runai-backend namespace already had such a secret, you can set the secret name here
global.postgresql.auth.username PostgreSQL username Override the Run:ai default user name for the Run:ai database
global.postgresql.auth.password PostgreSQL password Override the Run:ai default password for the Run:ai database
grafana.adminUser Grafana username Override the Run:ai default user name for accessing Grafana
grafana.adminPassword Grafana password Override the Run:ai default password for accessing Grafana
thanos.receive.persistence.storageClass and postgresql.primary.persistence.storageClass Storage class The installation to work with a specific storage class rather than the default one
global.imagePullSecrets:
  - name: <secret-name>		 Docker secret Provide credentials for accessing the organization's docker registry. This is required for air-gapped environments
<component>
 resources:
  limits:
    cpu: 500m
    memory: 512Mi
  requests:
    cpu: 250m
    memory: 256Mi		 Pod request and limits <component> may be anyone of the following: backend, frontend, assetsService, identityManager, tenantsManager, keycloakx, grafana, authorization, orgUnitService,policyService

Use the --set syntax in the helm command above.

Connect to Run:ai User Interface

Go to: runai.<company-name>. Log in using the default credentials: User: [email protected], Password: Abcd!234. Go to the Users area and change the password.

(Optional) Enable "Forgot password"

To support the “Forgot password” functionality, follow the steps below.

  • Go to runai.<company-name>/auth and Log in.
  • Under Realm settings, select the Login tab and enable the Forgot password feature.
  • Under the Email tab, define an SMTP server, as explained here
