Build From Scratch
While the README pulls from the Heptio image registry, you can also build your own Heptio Ark container with the following steps:
0. Prerequisites
In addition to the handling the prerequisites mentioned in the Quickstart, you should have Go installed (minimum version 1.8).
1. Download
Install with go:
go get github.com/heptio/ark
The files are installed in $GOPATH/src/github.com/heptio/ark.
2. Build
Set the $REGISTRY environment variable (used in the Makefile) if you want to push the Heptio Ark images to your own registry. This allows any node in your cluster to pull your locally built image.
$PROJECT and $VERSION environment variables are also specified in the Makefile, and can be similarly modified as desired.
Run the following in the Ark root directory to build your container with the tag $REGISTRY/$PROJECT:$VERSION:
sudo make all
To push your image to a registry, use make push.
3. Run
When running Heptio Ark, you will need to account for the following (all of which are handled in the /examples manifests):
- Appropriate RBAC permissions in the cluster
- Read access for all data from the source cluster and namespaces
- Write access to the target cluster and namespaces
- Cloud provider credentials
- Read/write access to volumes
- Read/write access to object storage for backup data
- A Config object definition for the Ark server
See Cloud Provider Specifics for a more detailed guide.
