Deploy a cluster of independent Cyberwatch nodes with MicroK8s (deprecated)

This page details the installation procedure for deploying Cyberwatch on a cluster of multiples independently managed machines. The communication between the nodes is therefore not managed by the orchestrator.

Deploy a master node

1. Follow the Cyberwatch installation procedure in the chosen case (offline, behind a proxy or standard), but replace the configuration command:

   sudo cyberwatch configure
   

   by:

   sudo cyberwatch configure --master
   

Deploy a satellite node

1. Follow the standard deployment procedure and stop before configuring Cyberwatch.

2. Execute the following command on master node:

   sudo cyberwatch show-secrets
   

3. Write the output of the previous command to file /etc/cyberwatch/secrets.yml of the satellite node:

   sudo vim /etc/cyberwatch/secrets.yml
   sudo chmod 600 /etc/cyberwatch/secrets.yml
   

4. Execute the following command on master node:

   sudo cyberwatch show-root-cert
   

5. Write the output of the previous command to file /etc/cyberwatch/certs/cbw-root-ca-cert.pem of the satellite node:

   sudo mkdir -p /etc/cyberwatch/certs
   sudo vim /etc/cyberwatch/certs/cbw-root-ca-cert.pem
   

6. Configure Cyberwatch:

   sudo cyberwatch configure --satellite
   

7. Verify that the satellite node is able to reach the master node:

   sudo cyberwatch logs sidekiq
