Steps to add a service catalog to a kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean

1. log into do and provision a new cluster

   • follow steps to download config file and make sure that everything is working
   • install helm and tiller if you don't have it: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-software-on-kubernetes-clusters-with-the-helm-package-manager

2. set up service catalog via helm (commands pulled from https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/service-catalog/install-service-catalog-using-helm/#before-you-begin)

   • helm repo add svc-cat https://svc-catalog-charts.storage.googleapis.com
   • helm search service-catalog -- if the instillation was successful you should see this:

     NAME            VERSION DESCRIPTION
     svc-cat/catalog 0.0.1   service-catalog API server and controller-manag...
     

   • configure tiller to have cluster-admin access

     kubectl create clusterrolebinding tiller-cluster-admin \
          --clusterrole=cluster-admin \
          --serviceaccount=kube-system:default
     

   • helm init
     • this creates a tiller pod. might take a moment to provision so wait a little before running next command.
   • install svc-cat under the catalog namespace

     helm install svc-cat/catalog \
          --name catalog --namespace catalog
     

   • check it worked with kubectl get deployments --namespace=catalog

3. Setup your cluster with secrets and a cluster service broker

   • create secret file with basic auth under your catalog namespace:

     kubectl create secret generic auth --namespace=catalog \
          --from-literal username=ignoreme \
          --from-literal password=ignoreme
     

   • create a service yaml file (make sure the namespace/name matches the your secret):

     apiVersion: servicecatalog.k8s.io/v1beta1
        kind: ClusterServiceBroker
        metadata:
          name: new-broker
        spec:
          url: your_broker_url
        authInfo:
          basic:
            secretRef:
              namespace: catalog
              name: auth
     

   • create a cluster service broker from that yaml file kubectl create -f ./test-service-broker.yaml (path to your yaml file you just created)
   • check it worked with kubectl get clusterservicebrokers new-broker -o yaml
     • you'll see a status key and it should say successfully fetched catalog.
