Installing SINA packages from KubeOps Hub #

To install SINA packages from the KubeOps Hub on your machines.

  2. Now copy the installation address of desired package and use it the sina install command:

    [root@localhost ~]# sina install --hub <hubname> <installation address>

The --hub parameter is to be used to install packages from the software Hub.

To be able to install a package from the software Hub, you have to be logged in as a user.

Install from Private Hub #

Example: The package livedemo of user sina with version 2.7.1 is to be installed from the private software Hub:

[root@localhost ~]# sina install sina/livedemo:2.7.1

Install from Public Hub #

Example: The package livedemo of the user sina with the version 2.7.1 is to be installed from the public software Hub:

[root@localhost ~]# sina install --hub public sina/livedemo:2.7.1

Install along with yaml files #

The -f parameter must be used to use yaml files from the user.

[root@localhost ~]# sina install <package> -f <user.yaml>

Example: The package livedemo of user sina with version 2.7.1 is to be installed from the public software hub and user specific files are to be used for the installation:

[root@localhost ~]# sina install --hub public sina/livedemo:2.7.1 -f userfile1.yaml

Install in specific namespace #

-namespace flag The namespace parameter can be used to specify a kubernetes namespace in which to perform the installation.

[root@localhost ~]# sina install --hub <hubname> <package> --namespace <namespace>

Example: The package livedemo of user sina with version 2.7.1 is to be installed from the public software hub and a custom kubernetes namespace is used:

[root@localhost ~]# sina install --hub public sina/livedemo:2.7.1 --namespace MyNamespace

Note: If no –namespace parameter is specified, the namespace default will be used.

Install with specific deployment name #

–dname flag

The parameter dname can be used to save the package under a specific name.

[root@localhost ~]# sina install --hub <hubname> <package> --dname <deploymentname>

Example: The package livedemo of user sina with version 2.7.1 is to be installed from the public software hub and a deployment name is set:

[root@localhost ~]# sina install --hub public sina/livedemo:2.7.1 --dname MyDeployment

If no –dname parameter is specified, a random deployment name will be generated.
