We support installing our application with 2 methods:
If you have an existing Kubernetes Cluster and have experience with Kubernetes or Red Hat Open Shift Cluster, see:
Installation into existing Kubernetes ClusterIf you don’t have an existing cluster, see:
Installation on Bare Metal Server
Installation into existing Kubernetes Cluster
If possible, we recommend installing our application into an existing Kubernetes or Red Hat Open Shift cluster.
Note |
---|
Installing and operating an a Kubernetes Cluster is often underestimated. We recommend this option only if a multi-purpose cluster already exists and is not build built just for 3YOURMIND. |
Cluster Requirements
Minimum Resources (to run the SaaS M resources equivalent):
4 CPU
Intel Nehalem Broadwell (20082013) or newer

StorageClass (It must be possible to create Persistent Volumes)
Space for Uploads and Media Files on volume(see Disk Space) Either:

Installation on Bare Metal Server
Our application can be installed on any bare-metal server.
Info |

Single K8S cluster software is included with the installation package for bare metal servers. No need to provision any of the Kubernetes components. |

Disk Space
Since the application deals with 3D Data and CAD files, a lot of data can be produced.
The media files are stored at a directory, which can be specified during the installation.
...
Also we support storing uploaded files on AWS S3.
Firewall requirements
The following Ports must be accessible:
...
An internet connection is not required.
Database Requirements
The Application requires a PostgreSQL 9.613 database or later (Encoding UTF-8)
Details:
The Application requires a separate PostgreSQL database server.
The application server needs read/write access to the database server, so any firewall between these needs to allow traffic (Default Port 5432)
3YOURMIND will and can not manage the database server for you. We will neither install a database server nor configure updates/replication of existing database servers.
Sizing requirements for the database heavily depend on usage. We recommend at least 20 GB for a production system. The database will grow slowly over time, so keep the disk space under monitoring.
If the database is installed manually:
It should be done on a separate server with at least 4GB RAM
The Application Server must be able to connect to the Database Server (Default Port 5432)
For installing PostgreSQL, please refer to the official Installation instructions or to an unofficial installation guide (recommended)
...
On your database server, you will need to create one database and one user, which has read/write/drop/create rights on the said database.
Set these variables for the application user on the database (exchange
<dbuser>
with your database username):Code Block language sql ALTER ROLE <dbuser> SET client_encoding TO 'utf8'; ALTER ROLE <dbuser> SET default_transaction_isolation TO 'read committed'; ALTER ROLE <dbuser> SET timezone TO 'UTC';
Machine Connectivity Requirements (optional)
Please see Machine Connectivity System Requirements.
Personal Requirements
To maintain a stable 3YOURMIND Application on the server, the following tasks need to be performed:
