Quick Start with Tyk OSS Helm Chart

The following guides provide instructions to install Redis and Tyk Open Source with default configurations. It is intended for quick start only. For production, you should install and configure Redis separately.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.19+
• Helm 3+

Quick Start

The following quick start guide explains how to use the Tyk OSS Helm chart to configure the Tyk Gateway that includes:

• Redis for key storage

At the end of this quickstart Tyk Gateway should be accessible through service gateway-svc-tyk-oss-tyk-gateway at port 8080.

1. Install Redis and Tyk

NAMESPACE=tyk-oss
APISecret=foo
REDIS_BITNAMI_CHART_VERSION=19.0.2

helm repo add tyk-helm https://helm.tyk.io/public/helm/charts/
helm repo update

helm upgrade tyk-redis oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts/redis -n $NAMESPACE --install --version $REDIS_BITNAMI_CHART_VERSION

helm upgrade tyk-oss tyk-helm/tyk-oss -n $NAMESPACE --create-namespace \
  --install \
  --set global.secrets.APISecret="$APISecret" \
  --set global.redis.addrs="{tyk-redis-master.$NAMESPACE.svc.cluster.local:6379}" \
  --set global.redis.passSecret.name=tyk-redis \
  --set global.redis.passSecret.keyName=redis-password

2. Done!

Now Tyk Gateway should be accessible through service gateway-svc-tyk-oss-tyk-gateway at port 8080.

You are now ready to create an API.
