obsidian - K8s Deployment

This is a k8s deployment that'll deploy eletrumx and allow it to commuincate with the k8s daemon deployment.

Prerequisites

You need to make sure that you have kubectl access to your kubernetes cluster.

Follow the kubernetes docs on whatever system you're on to get local access.

kubectl get nodes - Should return the nodes in the cluster.

You'll also need a running obsidian daemon with rpc access configured. Make sure you know what your connection details are for your daemon.

Example: http://user:password@host:port

Installing

You'll need to change this in your electrumx.json to suite your network setup.

"env": [
                {
                   "name": "DAEMON_URL",
                   "value": "http://user:password@10.39.246.35:1988"
                }

We'll want to create the volume. In order to do so run this:

kubectl create -f "path\to\electrumx_pv.json"

Once that is completed then go ahead and create the electrumx deployment and in order to do so then run this:

kubectl create -f "path\to\odnelectrumx_pv.json"

Next, you'll need to create your service in order for this to be accessed from the outside. Run this:

kubectl expose deployment obsidian-electrumx --type=LoadBalancer --name=obsidianelectrumx --port=50443

Get your external IP and use that as your connection in your client.

Viewing screen data

Get your pod name:

kubectl get pods 

It should show something like this.

obsidian-electrumx-78f87cb869-mdqlz

Then you want to view the logs of this pod.

kubectl logs obsidian-electrumx-78f87cb869-mdqlz

You can filter the output data as you wish.
