Confusing installation

Open xeor opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Is this a bug report or feature request?: feature request

Python Version (output of python --version): Python 3.6.3

Development or Deployment Environment?: osx against a remote k8s cluster

Release Tag or Master: master

Expected Behavior: not that much confusion, using armada

What Actually Happened: lot of confusion..

How to Reproduce the Issue (as minimally as possible):

Any Additional Comments: It's not clear to me how armada should be installed and used. In the docs, there are instructions telling me to do a docker run -d ..., but there are not much docs about installing the cli itself. There is a guide for using it as a helm-plugin tho.. But is that the same?

So why isn't there a pip install armanda-helm or similar? And why do I need to run a docker container on the side? Do it need to run at the same place as tiller?

Basically, I think the install-docs are very unclear.. If the docker container-sidekick needs to be there because of many deps, why does it need to run daemonized?
