Deploy Domino on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE)

This topic describes how to deploy Domino components on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). GKE is hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Configure the cluster

Use environment variables to set the values of IDs, names, and labels. This simplifies the commands you’ll run while installing Domino components:

export DOMINO_VER=<The Domino version to deploy>
export QUAY_USERNAME=<`quay.io` username provided by Domino>
export QUAY_PASSWORD=<`quay.io` password provided by Domino>

To retrieve the credentials for your Kubernetes cluster, check your local kubeconfig with:
```
export KUBECONFIG=$(pwd)/kubeconfig
```
Run the following to create the domino-platform namespace:
```
kubectl create namespace domino-platform
```
To make your application available through HTTPS, use the certificate for the project’s domain name to create a secret:
```
kubectl -n domino-platform create secret tls my-cert --key=<path to your private key> --cert=<path to your cert>
```

Prepare the installation template and run the installer

fleetcommand-agent installs and configures Domino components. It uses an installation template to gather the required parameters for the environment and sets them when installing Domino components.

Generate a blank installation template with fleetcommand-agent

If you aren’t already logged into quay.io, run:

docker login -u $QUAY_USERNAME -p $QUAY_PASSWORD quay.io

Generate a template configuration file named domino.yml in your working directory:

Caution
This overwrites existing domino.yml files.
