You can download the binary on the GitHub release page or use the following script:
curl -s https://fluxcd.io/install.sh | sudo bash
Check the installation:
flux -v
- Create a basic cluster with kind.
flux check --pre
- Install flux:
flux install
- Check the new objects created:
flux version
kubectl get pod -A | grep flux
kubectl api-resources | grep fluxcd
- Remove Flux components:
flux uninstall-
Create a basic cluster with kind.
-
With
flux bootstrapcommand you can install flux and configure it to manage itself from a git repository. If Flux was previously installed, it will be upgrade if needed. The bootstrap is idempotent, it’s safe to run the command as many times as you want.
flux bootstrap github \
--owner=mmmarceleza \
--repository=workshop \
--branch=main \
--path=flux/examples/01 \
--interval=1m \
--personal
note: change the --owner parameter to match your user.
-
Check all the changes in your repository on GitHub:
- commits;
- deploy keys on settings;
- new files created on the path you specified before;
-
Check all the changes in the cluster:
- new objects of Flux;
- 01-deploy on namespace default;
-
Remove Flux components:
flux uninstall-
Create a basic cluster with kind.
-
Bootstrap your main repository pointing to the second example:
flux bootstrap github \
--owner=mmmarceleza \
--repository=main \
--path=flux/examples/02 \
--interval=1m \
--personal
- Let's use podinfo as a second reference:
flux create source git podinfo \
--url=https://github.com/stefanprodan/podinfo \
--branch=master \
--interval=30s \
--export > kubernetes/flux/examples/02/podinfo-source.yaml- Commit the changes:
git add kubernetes/flux/examples/02/podinfo-source.yaml
git commit -m "Add podinfo GitRepository"
git push- Create a Flux kustomization:
flux create kustomization podinfo \
--target-namespace=default \
--source=podinfo \
--path="./kustomize" \
--prune=true \
--interval=5m \
--export > kubernetes/flux/examples/02/podinfo-kustomization.yaml- Commit the changes:
git add kubernetes/flux/examples/02/podinfo-kustomization.yaml
git commit -m "Add podinfo Kustomization"
git push

Check all the changes in the cluster:
-
Remove Flux components:
flux uninstall-
Create a basic cluster with kind.
-
Bootstrap your main repository pointing to the third example:
flux bootstrap github \
--owner=mmmarceleza \
--repository=workshop \
--path=/flux/examples/03 \
--interval=1m \
--personal

Remove Flux components:
flux uninstall- Install Weave Gitops:
curl --silent --location "https://github.com/weaveworks/weave-gitops/releases/download/v0.16.0/gitops-$(uname)-$(uname -m).tar.gz" | tar xz -C /tmp
sudo mv /tmp/gitops /usr/local/bin
gitops version
- Create a file with a HelmRepository and HelmRelease to deploy Weave GitOps:
PASSWORD="<your password>"
gitops create dashboard ww-gitops \
--password=$PASSWORD \
--export > /tmp/weave-gitops.yaml
- Apply the HelmRepository and HelmRelease to your cluster:
kubectl apply -f /tmp/weave-gitops.yaml
Optionally, you can push the file to your Flux GitRepository source, to let Flux reconcile it.
