On-Prem Single Node Installation Guide¶

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing AccuKnox on a single node.

Supported Operating Systems

Installation was tested on Ubuntu 24.04 and Rocky Linux 8.

Prerequisites¶

Hardware Requirements¶

VM: 8 vCPU / 32GB Memory
Storage: 256GB
Required Binaries: tar, wget

Rocky Linux Users

SELinux should be disabled or set to permissive if you are installing on Rocky Linux.

Installation Steps¶

Step 1: Download the Installation Bundle¶

Download the Accuknox bundle using wget:

wget https://accukno-xxxx-xxxx.xxxx.your-objectstorage.com/Accuknox-cp-v3_3.tar.gz

Step 2: Extract the Installation Bundle¶

Extract the downloaded file, remove the archive to free up space, and navigate to the directory:

tar -xvf Accuknox-cp-v3_3.tar.gz
rm Accuknox-cp-v3_3.tar.gz
cd Accuknox/

Step 3: Extract Helm Charts¶

Extract the Helm charts and navigate to their directory:

tar -xvf Helm-charts-accuknox-stable-helm-chart-v3.3-xx-xx.tar.gz
cd Helm-charts-accuknox-stable-helm-chart-v3.3-xx-xx

Step 4: Install Dependencies¶

Run the scripts to install the required binaries and K3s:

./binaries.sh
./airgapped_k3s.sh

Step 5: Configure Deployment Values¶

Update the necessary overrides in override-values.yaml. For an IP-based deployment (recommended for POC), update the nginxIngressGateway with your appropriate <PRIVATE-IP>:

override-values.yaml

ingressGateway:
  enabled: true
nginxIngressGateway:
  enabled: true
  loadBalancerHost: "<PRIVATE-IP>"

SSL Configuration

If you are deploying with an IP-based method, disable SSL. The override values file should be updated as follows:

override-values.yaml

ssl:
  selfsigned: false
  customcerts: false

Step 6: Install AccuKnox Charts¶

Execute the chart installation script:

./install_chart.sh

Step 7: Access the UI and Complete Setup¶

Open the AccuKnox UI in your browser at: https://<PRIVATE-IP>/
Run the following command to retrieve the verification link:
```
kubectl logs deploy/celery -n accuknox-divy
```
