Operator installation

Hi everyone,
honestly I don't understand how this operator could be installed manually.

In the documentation is specified to execute this command:

make deploy IMG=nginx/nginx-ingress-operator:0.3.0

After cloning the repo, but why?

Is it possible to install this operator in a simplest way?, I mean:

execute all yaml manifest (inside a directory) which contains all ones for all CRDs

Sorry for this question, but about "make deploy" command.. what is it? I don't know it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @TheHunter , I understand how this could be confusing!

The simple answer is, make deploy runs kustomize build & pipes the output to a kubectl apply. The IMG= in your command is used to set the image of the operator to run. See:

nginx-ingress-operator/Makefile

           deploy: manifests kustomize ## Deploy controller to the K8s cluster specified in ~/.kube/config. 
        
           	cd config/manager && $(KUSTOMIZE) edit set image controller=${IMG} 
        
           	$(KUSTOMIZE) build config/default | kubectl apply -f -

Kustomize if you are unfamiliar with it is a way to manage yaml manifests (a distant cousin of helm). If you'd like to look more into it, see: https://www.densify.com/kubernetes-tools/kustomize
