How to install APISIX only?#

The Charts will install ETCD 3.4.14 by default. If you want to install Apache APISIX only, please set etcd.enabled=false and set etcd.host={http://your_etcd_address:2379}.

Please use the FQDN or the IP address of the ETCD cluster.

# if etcd export by kubernetes service need spell fully qualified name
helm install apisix apisix/apisix \
    --set etcd.enabled=false \
    --set etcd.host={http://etcd_node_1:2379\,http://etcd_node_2:2379}

How to install Apache APISIX running in standalone mode?#

Helm chart does not provide a direct way to deploy Apache APISIX running in standalone mode. You can install it in the following manner.

Create a deploy.yaml with the following content.

# deploy.yaml
kind: ConfigMap
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: apisix-gw-config.yaml
data:
  config.yaml: |
    deployment:

Apply the configuration in deploy.yaml to pod.

kubectl apply -f deploy.yaml
note
  1. The mount of the apisix.yaml file requires the injection of the softlink command, so do not change the configMap mount directory to /usr/local/apisix/conf, to avoid other configuration files being overwritten.
  2. The apisix.yaml is mounted as a configMap, so there will be a delay in reloading the rules after apisix.yaml is changed; please refer to this document for details.

Why get 403 when I access Apache APISIX admin api?#

We can define admin.allow.ipList in CIDR.

helm install apisix apisix/apisix \
    --set admin.allow.ipList="10.22.100.12/8" \
    --set admin.allow.ipList="172.0.0.0/24"

If you want to allow all IPs for a quick test, just set admin.allow.ipList=""

helm install apisix apisix/apisix \
    --set admin.allow.ipList=""
