Installing Activities Plus services

Activities Plus in Connections Component Pack (CP) uses the existing Component Pack infrastructure, assuming that you have a working Connections Component Pack environment.

About this task

The following is the default network configuration (SSL/Network setup):

  • BOARDS_URL:

    connections_url/boards

    For example, connections.example.com/boards

  • API_URL:

    connections_url/boards

    For example, connections.example.com/boards

  • API_GATEWAY:

    connections_url/api-boards

    For example, connections.example.com/api-boards

These values will be used throughout this documentation on integrating Activities Plus with Component Pack.

Procedure

Install the Activities Plus services using the following Helm chart:
Note:

Make sure that you have updated the file boards-cp.yaml referenced by the command with appropriated values. See Updating the Activities Plus configuration file for more information.

--recreate-pods ensures all images are up to date. This will cause downtime.

helm upgrade kudos-boards-cp path_to_helm_charts/kudos-boards-cp-1.0.0.tgz -i -f ./boards-cp.yaml --namespace connections --recreate-pods

where path_to_helm_charts is the file path to the helm charts:

extractedFolder/microservices_connections/hybridcloud/helmbuilds/

Example

helm upgrade kudos-boards-cp ./microservices_connections/hybridcloud/helmbuilds/kudos-boards-cp-1.0.0.tgz -i -f ./boards-cp.yaml --namespace connections --recreate-pods
