Run in custom namespace
In Ark version 0.7.0 and later, you can run Ark in any namespace. To do so, you specify the namespace in the YAML files that configure the Ark server. You then also specify the namespace when you run Ark client commands.
Edit the example files
The Ark repository includes a set of examples that you can use to set up your Ark server. The
examples place the server and backup/schedule/restore/config data in the heptio-ark
namespace.
To run the server in another namespace, you edit the relevant files, changing heptio-ark
to
your desired namespace.
To store your backups, schedules, restores, and config in another namespace, you edit the relevant
files, changing heptio-ark
to your desired namespace. You also need to create the
cloud-credentials
secret in your desired namespace.
For all cloud providers, edit https://github.com/heptio/ark/blob/master/examples/common/00-prereqs.yaml
. This file defines:
- CustomResourceDefinitions for the Ark objects (backups, schedules, restores, configs, downloadrequests)
- The namespace where the Ark server runs
- The namespace where backups, schedules, restores, and the config are stored
- The Ark service account
- The RBAC rules to grant permissions to the Ark service account
