ddextension's Introduction

Intro (This is a work in progress with minimal testing so far)

Docker desktop is supported on all platfrom -- Linux, Mac, and Windows. It also has the AMD64 and ARM64 version. This enables the ONE click deployment of Pachyderm on personal comuters.

Ideal state of our getting started doc.

Mac/Linux

Install Docker Desktop with k8s enabled
Click Extension -> Pachyderm -> Install

Windows

Install Docker Desktop with WSL2 and k8s enabled
Click Extension -> Pachyderm -> Install

Happy Paching!!!

http://localhost for Console
type pachctl version on your terminal

Current state

Works on amd64 Mac
[TODO] Need a arm64 mac to build and test
[TODO] Need to test amd64 Linux should also be similar amd64 Mac
[TODO] Need to test on Windows - it is mostly figuring out how to install pachctl on Windows (rest should work)
[TODO] Need to add linux/arm64 in Makefile to build arm support (takes too long to build) (Update to use buildx and specify --platform)
[TODO] Testing story is still open
[TODO] Lots of UI improvements -- eg. change from Install to Upgrade (if extension is already installed)
[TODO] Need a way to know the latest pach release -- right now there is no easy way to know the latest stable/ga release. k8s checks in a stable.txt in their repo, which can be pulled by anyone. Good way to keep the community to the latest release.

How to install extension?

Install Docker Desktop on your machine
Clone this repo
make install-extension or make update-extension (if already installed)
"Pachyderm" should show up in you Docker Desktop Dashboard
Check "Pachyderm" -> "Install"
Wait for instructions to connect to Console

What's is the extension doing?

Installs helm, kubectl in the installer (so we don't need to have this on the host)
helm uninstall/install for a LOCAL deployment
installs pachctl on the host (uses brew if available otherwise puts it into a bin path)
setup the context to local
waits for pachd to be functional before returing to the user
