• If you want to use HELM chart to install, Go to

From your master node run kubectl create.

redis

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/redis/deployment.yaml>
  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/redis/service.yaml>

mysql(or mariaDB)

• Update hostpath for volume

// yaml/mysql/deployment.yaml
...
volumes:
  - name: mysql-data
    hostPath:
      path: /nfs/mysql        # update hostpath
...

• create

  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/mysql/deployment.yaml>
  $ kubectl create -f <yaml/mysql/service.yaml>

• Create Mysql table and data

  $ kubectl exec -it <mysql pod id> -n nexclipper sh
  > mysql -uadmin -ppassword
  > use defaultdb
  > (Execute stript of load.sql at https://github.com/NexClipper/NexClipper/blob/master/yaml/mysql/load.sql) 

• If you want to use your own database instead of 'detaultdb', Go to
