Ryan Richard 11eb18d348 ytt install docs suggest that you checkout the release tag
Previously, the ytt install docs suggested that you use ytt templates
from the HEAD of main with the container image from the latest public
release, which could result in a mismatch.

This guide shows you how to install the Pinniped Supervisor, which allows seamless login across one or many Kubernetes clusters. You should have a supported Kubernetes cluster with working HTTPS ingress capabilities.

With default options

  1. Install the latest version of the Supervisor into the pinniped-supervisor namespace with default options:

    • kubectl apply -f https://get.pinniped.dev/latest/install-pinniped-supervisor.yaml

With specific version and default options

  1. Choose your preferred release version number and use it to replace the version number in the URL below.

  2. Install the Supervisor into the pinniped-supervisor namespace with default options:

    • kubectl apply -f https://get.pinniped.dev/v0.9.2/install-pinniped-supervisor.yaml

      Replace v0.9.2 with your preferred version number.

With custom options

Pinniped uses ytt from Carvel as a templating system.

  1. Install the ytt command-line tool using the instructions from the Carvel documentation.

  2. Clone the Pinniped GitHub repository and visit the deploy/supervisor directory:

    • git clone git@github.com:vmware-tanzu/pinniped.git
    • cd pinniped/deploy/supervisor
  3. Decide which release version you would like to install. All release versions are listed on GitHub.

  4. Checkout your preferred version tag, e.g. v0.9.2.

    • git checkout v0.9.2

      Replace v0.9.2 with your preferred version number.

  5. Customize configuration parameters:

    • Edit values.yaml with your custom values.
    • Change the image_tag value to match your preferred version tag, e.g. v0.9.2. Replace v0.9.2 with your preferred version number.
    • See the default values for documentation about individual configuration parameters.
  6. Render templated YAML manifests:

    • ytt --file .
  7. Deploy the templated YAML manifests:

    • If you're using kubectl:

      ytt --file . | kubectl apply -f -

    • If you're using kapp from Carvel:

      ytt --file . | kapp deploy --yes --app pinniped-supervisor --diff-changes --file -

Next Steps

Now that you have installed the Supervisor, you will want to [configure the Supervisor]({{< ref "configure-supervisor" >}}).
