Abstract

As a Red Hat Developer Hub (RHDH) administrator, you can install and configure the Orchestrator flavor using Helm, ensuring your environment is prepared for workflow orchestration with Red Hat Developer Hub.

1. Installing Red Hat Developer Hub with Orchestrator using Helm

You can install Red Hat Developer Hub with Orchestrator by using Helm, review resource requirements for Orchestrator, and plan for resource considerations in air-gapped environments.

1.1. Resource requirements for air-gapped environments

You can deploy the Orchestrator flavor of Red Hat Developer Hub in air-gapped environments by ensuring that all container images, and Helm charts required by Red Hat Developer Hub and SonataFlow are available internally.

For workflow orchestration in air-gapped environments, the following resources are recommended:

Resource componentRecommended resources

RHDH Orchestrator plugin

2 vCPUs, 2–4 GiB memory

SonataFlow runtime

1 vCPU, 1–2 GiB memory

Knative Serving and Eventing

1–2 vCPUs, 1.5 GiB memory

PostgreSQL or External DB

1 vCPU, 1 GiB memory

Persistent storage

5 GiB (minimum), adjust based on workflow logs and artifacts

To prepare for an air-gapped deployment, complete the following steps:

  1. Mirror container images

    Mirror all required {product-very-short}, SonataFlow, Knative, and orchestrator plugin images to an internal container registry. Ensure that the image versions match the Helm chart values.
  2. Mirror Helm charts

    Pre-download the Helm charts for `redhat-developer-hub`, `orchestrator-infra`, and any dependent charts (for example, `bitnami` and `backstage`). Host them in an internal chart repository or file server.
  3. CRD and operator installation

    Download the required CRDs and YAML manifests for SonataFlow and Knative operators and apply them manually.
  4. Configure network policies

    Validate inter-pod communication and ensure internal DNS resolution to the mirrored image registry.
  5. Use imagePullSecrets

    Update your `values.yaml` file with credentials for the internal registry if it is private:
   global:
     imagePullSecrets:
       - name: internal-registry-secret
