Installing Squash

To install Squash you need to install the Squash server and clients on your container orchestration platform of choice, and to install the CLI on your computer.

Platforms

Currently Suqash only supports Kubernets. Other platforms coming up...

• Kubernetes

Command Line Interface (CLI)

Download the CLI binary:

• Linux
• OS X

For Linux

curl -o squash -L https://github.com/solo-io/squash/releases/download/v0.1.0/squash-linux

For Mac OS X

curl -o squash -L https://github.com/solo-io/squash/releases/download/v0.1.0/squash-osx

Then enable execution permission:

chmod +x squash

The easiest way is to place it somewhere in your path, but it is not a must.

To make sure everything is deployed correctly, you can create a port forward to the Squash server pod and invoke a sample CLI command.

1. Get the Squash server pod name by running kubectl get pods. You should see something similar to this:

NAME                                       READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
squash-client-ds-j7fqv                     1/1       Running   0          17m
squash-client-ds-nwbkm                     1/1       Running   0          17m
squash-client-ds-zw8pp                     1/1       Running   0          17m
squash-server-rc-kwkdr                     1/1       Running   0          17m

2. Create a port forward from your local machine (http://localhost:8080) to the squash-server-rc-kwkdr pod (note that the pod name on your machine will be different):

kubectl port-forward squash-server-rc-kwkdr 8080:8080 &

You should see something like this:

Forwarding from 127.0.0.1:8080 -> 8080
Forwarding from [::1]:8080 -> 8080

3. Run a list command:

./squash --url=http://localhost:8080/api/v1 list

The output should be like this:

Active |ID |Attachment.Name |Attachment.Type |Debugger |Image |Immediately
