Self-hosted PaaS for Kubernetes

A complete platform experience on top of any Kubernetes cluster to empower developers and lower the burden on operations

Join our Slack channel for Q&A

Otomi brings a PaaS experience to your Kubernetes cluster without the constraints and abstractions of traditional PaaS offerings like OpenShift, Cloud Foundry and Heroku. No more reinventing the wheel when building and maintaining your own K8s based (developer) platform.

🚀 Getting started

Helm

To install Otomi using Helm, make sure to have a K8s cluster running with at least:

Version 1.18 up to 1.23
A node pool with 6 vCPU and 8GB+ RAM (more is advised!)
Calico CNI installed (or any other CNI that supports K8s network policies)
When installing using the custom provider, make sure the K8s LoadBalancer Service created by Otomi can obtain an external accessible IP (using a cloud load balancer or MetalLB)

Add the Helm repository:

helm repo add otomi https://otomi.io/otomi-core \
helm repo update

and then install the Helm chart:

helm install otomi otomi/otomi \
--set cluster.k8sVersion=$VERSION \ # 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, 1.22 and 1.23 are supported
--set cluster.name=$CLUSTERNAME \
--set cluster.provider=$PROVIDER # use azure, aws, google, digitalocean or custom for any other cloud or onprem K8s

When the installer job is completed, follow the activation steps.

K8s quick starts

Use the quickstarts for Azure, GCP, AWS, Linode, Digital Ocean and Minikube to provision a Kubernetes cluster. Then use the helm chart to install Otomi.
