Installation Issue

[ykittipak]

Hi Team,

I tried installing OptScale on a single machine following the specifications in the guideline, but it isn’t working. During the installation, I was a bit confused about the process.

Before deploying OptScale, do I need to have a Kubernetes cluster already set up? If that’s the case, does it mean that using only one server is not sufficient to deploy OptScale?

Thank you for your clarification.

Hi!

Could you please share which installation guide you followed and describe what exactly went wrong during the process?

First, I was a bit confused by the guideline because it mentions that the minimum hardware requirement for an OptScale cluster is just one machine.

Second, when I ran the Ansible playbook to create the Kubernetes cluster, the process didn’t complete successfully because Kubernetes couldn’t initialize properly.

I then tried troubleshooting step by step, and now I can deploy, but not all pods are running successfully. I’m continuing to troubleshoot and will provide an update once it’s complete.

Anyway, could you please confirm whether it’s possible to run OptScale on a single-node Kubernetes setup?

Thank you

Hi Team, After deploying OptScale, I’m still seeing pods with the status "Init", as shown in the attached file. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Thank you

Hi!

Please check the allocated resources and send a screenshot describing the mariadb-0 pod.

I was able to fix the issue by reproducing the setup again. Before doing so, I made sure to apply system updates and add some missing components, such as installing python_on_whales (it's not have in requirements.txt) using pip.

As the next step, I will try adding a data source to compare the results with the SaaS version of OptScale. Hopefully, the results will be the same.
