(Optional) Creating your custom resource from the CR template
The preferred method for obtaining a simple custom resource YAML file (CR) is to use the
prerequisites script. However, all Kubernetes descriptors that are necessary to install manually can
be found in the container-samples
repository. You can install components by
creating a custom resource by hand and then running commands on the platform.
About this task
If you are using the simplified CR template, you can install Content Platform Engine, IBM Content
Navigator, and GraphQL API, with default settings, with no customization. If you want to install
additional components, set those values as true
in the
content_optional_components
parameter. For example:
content_optional_components:
cpe: true
graphql: true
cmis: true
css: true
es: true
tm: true
ban: true
For a more customized deployment, you can start with the simplified CR template or fully customizable CR template, and copy component sections into the template to provide custom settings. For more information, see Custom resource pattern structure.
