Installing Wickr Enterprise

After your connection to the Kubernetes cluster has been made, you can begin installing Wickr Enterprise using the kubectl kots plugin. You will need your KOTS License file (a .yaml file provided by Wickr) and your Config Values file, which were saved to the file wickr-config.json in the Generate KOTS Config section. For more information about Generate KOTS Config, see Generate KOTS Config.

Installing Wickr Enterprise manually

The following command will begin the installation of Wickr Enterprise:

kubectl kots install wickr-enterprise-ha \
    --license-file ./license.yaml \
    --config-values ./wickr-config.json  \
    --namespace wickr \
    --skip-preflights

You will be prompted to enter a password for the KOTS Admin Console. Save this password because you will need it to upgrade or change the configuration of your Wickr Enterprise installation in the future.

When the installation is complete, kubectl kots will open up a local port (usually http://localhost:8080), which provides access to the KOTS Admin Console. You can change or monitor the status of your Wickr Enterprise installation on this site, or begin setting up Wickr by visiting the domain name that you configured for your installation in your browser.

Installing Wickr Enterprise with Lambda

During the CDK deployment, a Lambda is created and invoked to complete the Wickr Enterprise installation on your behalf automatically. To invoke it manually, open the AWS console and find WickrLambda-func* lambda function, under test tab, select test, the input is irrelevant.
