Custom Installations

There are various cookbooks available to install paymentHub on kubernates cluster.

Rolling your own helm chart

The best approach would be to take one of the tested Lab Environment examples from below and start customizing it to the actual requirements. Once the configuration looks proper, proceed with the deployment as detailed above. Note that very specific charts are in env-labs and generic/ use-case charts are in env-templates.

ph-ee-env-labs:

Ways to connect to External RDBMS:

To use the external RDBMS service for any of the cookbooks just need to follow below steps:

Here is an example of ph-ee-fin-back-end chart.

1. Open values.yaml of ph-ee-fin-back-end chart in an editor.

2. Replace HOST_NAME, USER, and PASSWORD with your external RDBMS hostname, user, and password.

operations_app:
    enabled: true
    imageTag: "latest"
    SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE: "bb"
    tenants: "gorilla,lion, phdefault"
    hostname: "ops-bk.sandbox.mifos.io"
    datasource:
      username: USER
      password: PASSWORD
      host: HOST_NAME
      port: 3306

Replace all the other occurrence of datasource with the external RDBMS details. e.g: importer_rdbms, messagegateway, etc.
