How can we deploy jupyterhub to kubernetes without using helm chart? - kubernetes

Question

For some reasons, I cannot use the helm chart given here inside my premise. Is there any reference how can we do this?

Answer 1

Yes, you can deploy JupyterHub without using Helm.
Follow the tutorial on: Jupyterhub Github Installation page
But,
The Helm installation was created to automate a long part of the installation process.
I know you can't maintain external Helm repositories in your premise, but you can download manually the package, and install it.
It will be really easier and faster than creating the whole setup manually.
TL;DR: The only thing different From Documentation will be this command:
helm upgrade --install jhub jupyterhub-0.8.2.tgz \
--namespace jhub \
--version=0.8.2 \
--values config.yaml
Bellow is my full reproduction of the local installation.
user#minikube:~/jupyterhub$ openssl rand -hex 32
e278e128a9bff352becf6c0cc9b029f1fe1d5f07ce6e45e6c917c2590654e9ee
user#minikube:~/jupyterhub$ cat config.yaml

user#minikube:~/jupyterhub$ wget https://jupyterhub.github.io/helm-chart/jupyterhub-0.8.2.tgz

user#minikube:~/jupyterhub$ helm upgrade --install jhub jupyterhub-0.8.2.tgz \
--namespace jhub \

--values config.yaml
Release "jhub" does not exist. Installing it now.
