Instructions

Hello, could you please add some instructions on how to set this up? I'm following the instruction from here but I'm getting the following error:

$ helm install theia-cloud theia-cloud-remote/theia-cloud --namespace theiacloud --create-namespace --devel

Error: INSTALLATION FAILED: cannot re-use a name that is still in use

$ helm ls

Hi, for a local test setup we have more detailed instructions here: https://github.com/eclipsesource/theia-cloud/blob/main/doc/docs/platforms/Minikube.md

In your case the theia-cloud-base installation shows as failed.
I would suggest to uninstall both installations with helm uninstall theia-cloud and helm uninstall theia-cloud-base.

Then make sure that the cert-manager is installed (https://github.com/eclipsesource/theia-cloud/blob/main/doc/docs/platforms/Minikube.md#cert-manager) and rerun helm install theia-cloud-base theia-cloud-remote/theia-cloud-base --set issuer.email=your-mail@example.com --devel
Please make sure to use an actual email here. It might be that the cert-manager/let's encrypt blocks some email-addresses. This could lead to a failed state.

Then check with helm ls whether it was successful this time or if you got any errors.
If the base is installed succesfully, then continue with helm install theia-cloud theia-cloud-remote/theia-cloud --namespace theiacloud --create-namespace --devel

@jfaltermeier thanks, that solved it! I got stuck in a different step though.

When I run kubectl get svc --all-namespaces from the Install Section, my ingress-nginx-controller does not get assigned an EXTERNAL-IP so I cannot edit the hosts.

Thanks for your help.

Which Kubernetes Cluster are you using? Depending on the cluster you might have to do some extra configuration: https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/#installation-guide
