# ngrok Kubernetes Operator

Leverage [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) for your ingress in your Kubernetes cluster. Instantly add load balancing, authentication, and observability to your services via ngrok Cloud Edge modules using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) and Kubernetes-native tooling. This repo contains both our [Kubernetes Ingress Controller](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/ingress/) and the [Kubernetes Gateway API](https://gateway-api.sigs.k8s.io/)

## Installation

### Helm

> **Note** We recommend using the Helm chart to install the operator for a better upgrade experience.

Add the ngrok Kubernetes Operator Helm chart:

```sh
helm repo add ngrok https://charts.ngrok.com
```

Then, install the latest version (setting the appropriate values for your environment):

```sh
export NAMESPACE=[YOUR_K8S_NAMESPACE]
export NGROK_AUTHTOKEN=[AUTHTOKEN]
export NGROK_API_KEY=[API_KEY]

helm install ngrok-operator ngrok/ngrok-operator \
--namespace $NAMESPACE \
--create-namespace \
--set credentials.apiKey=$NGROK_API_KEY \
--set credentials.authtoken=$NGROK_AUTHTOKEN
```

> ** Note ** The values for `NGROK_API_KEY` and `NGROK_AUTHTOKEN` can be found in your [ngrok dashboard] (https://dashboard.ngrok.com/get-started/setup). The ngrok Kubernetes Operator uses them to authenticate with ngrok and configure and run your network ingress traffic at the edge.

For a more in-depth installation guide follow our step-by-step [Getting Started](https://ngrok.com/docs/using-ngrok-with/k8s/) guide.

#### Gateway API Preview

To install the developer preview of the gateway api we'll make the following changes to the above instructions.

Install the v1 gateway CRD before the helm installation.
```sh
kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api/releases/download/v1.0.0/standard-install.yaml
```

Then, during the helm install set the experimental gateway flag.

```sh
helm install ngrok-operator ngrok/ngrok-operator \
--namespace $NAMESPACE \
--create-namespace \
--set credentials.apiKey=$NGROK_API_KEY \
--set credentials.authtoken=$NGROK_AUTHTOKEN \
--set useExperimentalGatewayApi=true # gateway preview
```
### YAML Manifests

Apply the [sample combined manifest](manifest-bundle.yaml) from our repo:

```sh
kubectl apply -n ngrok-operator \
-f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ngrok/ngrok-operator/main/manifest-bundle.yaml
```

For a more in-depth installation guide follow our step-by-step [Getting Started](https://ngrok.com/docs/using-ngrok-with/k8s/) guide.
