How to install ThreadFix and its dependencies on an existing Kubernetes Cluster.

Prerequisites

Audience: IT Professional
Difficulty: Intermediate
Time needed: Approximately 10 minutes
Tools required: N/A

Minimum Requirements

• Helm >= 3.25

• kubectl

• Running kubernetes cluster with the following:

  • Version >=1.16

  • >= 32 GB RAM available in cluster

    • >=8 GB RAM per node

  • > 4 core equivalents available in cluster

  • > 250 GB disk space available in default storage provider

    • For most cloud providers this will automatically be provisioned

• A valid ThreadFix license

• A kubernetes user with proper permissions

Recommended Pre-requisites

• A valid TLS certificate for a ThreadFix installation in PEM format

• Kubernetes cluster meeting the user’s installation capacity, note /wiki/spaces/T3UD2/pages/2497912598the System Recommendations

• Follow any applicable /wiki/spaces/T3UD2/pages/2497911489 Pre-Installation Platform Setup prior to installation

• Follow any applicable pre-install tasks prior to installation Add link to Pre-install instructions here/ What does this reference? Installation Checklist

Installation

For the following instructions, add '-n ' to any kubectl or helm install if installing ThreadFix to separate namespace.

1. Create myValues directory (if it does not exist).

   Code Block
   mkdir -p myValues

2. If any other steps from the “Preparation Guides” have been

helm repo add denimgroup https://threadfix-downloads.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/helm/

Update the repositories by running:

helm repo update

1. completed, ensure that their resulting values files reside in the myValues directory.

2. Create a ThreadFix license configuration.

   1. Locate the threadfix.license file.

   2. Run the following command (replacing <threadfix.license-path> with the path to the license file):

      Code Block
      kubectl create secret generic tf-license --from-file=threadfix.license=<threadfix.license-path>

3. Create a TLS certificate configuration (optional).

   1. Convert the TLS certificate to base 64 encoded PEM if in a different format. For more information see the Adding a TLS Certificate (Kubernetes) guide.

   2. Run the following (replacing <tls-key> and <tls-cert> with their respective paths):

      Code Block
      kubectl create secret tls tf-tls --key <tls-key> --cert <tls-cert>

   3. Create TLS configuration values.

      Code Block
      echo "kong: env: SSL_CERT: /etc/secrets/tf-tls/tls.crt SSL_CERT_KEY: /etc/secrets/tf-tls/tls.key secretVolumes: - tf-tls" > myValues/tls.yaml

Add the ThreadFix Helm repository:

1. Generate a unique password for PostgreSQL.

   Code Block
   PG_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 25)

2. Create a myValues.yaml file.

   Code Block
   echo "kong: postgresql: auth:

1. password: $PG_PASSWORD global: threadfix: licenseCMOverride: tf-license" > myValues/myValues.yaml

2. Generate a helm args for all of the values files.

   Code Block
   HELM_INSTALL_ARGS=$(for values_file in myValues/*.yaml; do echo -n "-f $values_file "; done)

3. Add the ThreadFix Helm repository:

   1. Add the ThreadFix Helm repository by running the following command

      Code Block
      helm repo add denimgroup https://threadfix-downloads.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/helm/

   2. Update the repositories by running:

      Code Block
      helm repo update

4. (Optional) If the above step fails to update due to firewall restrictions, download the helm chart manually through a browser

   1. Navigate to the Release Notes section of this space

   2. Click the “manual helm download”

   3. Copy the resulting tgz file to the machine Helm will install from

   4. In the helm install command below, replace denimgroup/threadfix with the path to the downloaded helm chart. Example: helm install tf threadfix-3.1.0.tgz $HELM_INSTALL_ARGS

5. Install ThreadFix with the following command:

   Code Block
   helm install tf denimgroup/threadfix $HELM_INSTALL_ARGS

    

6. ThreadFix will automatically generate internal credentials. Save these in a secure location for recovery purposes.

   1. Network Properties:

      Code Block
      kubectl get secrets tf-network-props -o 'go-template={{index .data "network.properties"}}' | base64 -d

   2. Database password:

      Code Block
      kubectl get secret tf-db -o jsonpath={.data.password} | base64 -d

   3. Postgres password:

      Code Block
      kubectl get secret tf-postgresql -o jsonpath={.data.postgresql-password} | base64 -d

       

7. The Helm command will return instruction on how to retrieve the load balancer address for the ThreadFix installation. Follow the progress of the installation with the following.

   Code Block
   kubectl get po -w

    

8. When all pods report the status Running or Completed, the installation is complete and ready to use.
