Prerequisites for Hermod deployment

A Kubernetes service subscription where you must create and deploy Hermod
A public DNS name which devices can reach
Matching certificates for the public address
An installed/deployed instance of an SQL server, for example, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Maria DB, or Oracle

Step-by-step instruction

Download the Hermod docker image and file structure

Sign in to Nexus Support portal.
Go to Nexus Smart ID Clients (Personal and Hermod) > Smart ID Messaging and select a Hermod version to download the *.zip file.
Unpack the *.zip file.
Open the extracted folder, for example, 4.x.y.RELEASE.
The folder contains the Hermod installation file and a simple-setup file to set up a default configuration.
Unpack simple-setup.zip.
Place the docker image on a location where the Kubernetes cluster can access and pull the image from.

Create the storage yml file

Edit the file hermod-config with the correct values for your environment. It will be used to store Hermod configuration file.

Example

Example: hermod-config.yml

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  annotations:
  finalizers:
  - kubernetes.io/pvc-protection
  name: hermod-config
  namespace: test
spec:
  accessModes:
  - ReadWriteOnce
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Gi
  storageClassName: default
  volumeMode: Filesystem
  volumeName: hermod-config

Create the Hermod deployment yml file

Edit the file hermod-deployment with the correct values for your environment.

Important! The actual values must match the specific deployment scenarios. The hermod-depoyment code below is only intended as an example.

Example

Example: hermod-deployment.yml

apiVersion: v1
