# Indico Operator

A [Juju](https://juju.is/) [charm](https://juju.is/docs/olm/charmed-operators) deploying and managing [Indico](https://getindico.io/) on Kubernetes. Indico is an open-source tool for event organisation, archival, and collaboration.

This charm simplifies initial deployment and "day N" operations of Indico on Kubernetes, such as scaling the number of instances, integration with SSO, access to S3 for redundant file storage, and more. It allows for deployment on many different Kubernetes platforms, from [MicroK8s](https://microk8s.io) to [Charmed Kubernetes](https://ubuntu.com/kubernetes) and public cloud Kubernetes offerings.
Like any Juju charm, this charm supports one-line deployment, configuration, integration, scaling, and more. For Indico, this includes:
- Integrations with SSO
- Access to S3

The Indico charm allows for deployment on many different Kubernetes platforms, from [MicroK8s](https://microk8s.io) to [Charmed Kubernetes](https://ubuntu.com/kubernetes) and public cloud Kubernetes offerings.

As such, the charm makes it easy for those looking to take control of their own events management system whilst keeping operations simple and gives them the freedom to deploy on the Kubernetes platform of their choice.

Through the process, you'll inspect the Kubernetes resources created, verify the workload state, and log in to your Indico instance.

## Requirements

- Juju 3 installed.
- Juju MicroK8s controller created and active.
- A working station, e.g., a laptop, with amd64 architecture.
- Juju 3 installed and bootstrapped to a MicroK8s controller. You can accomplish this process by using a Multipass VM as outlined in this guide: [Set up / Tear down your test environment](https://juju.is/docs/juju/set-up--tear-down-your-test-environment)
- NGINX Ingress Controller. If you're using [MicroK8s](https://microk8s.io/), this can be done by running the command `microk8s enable ingress`. For more details, see [Addon: Ingress](https://microk8s.io/docs/addon-ingress).

For more information about how to install Juju, see [Get started with Juju](https://juju.is/docs/olm/get-started-with-juju).

:warning: When using a Multipass VM, make sure to replace `127.0.0.1` IP addresses with the
VM IP in steps that assume you're running locally. To get the IP address of the
Multipass instance run ```multipass info my-juju-vm```.
### Shell into the Multipass VM
> NOTE: If you're working locally, you don't need to do this step.

To be able to work inside the Multipass VM first you need to log in with the following command:

The browser uses entries in the /etc/hosts file to override what is returned by a DNS server.

Usually a charm default hostname is the application name but since Indico requires a "." in the hostname for the app to respond, so the charm configures the default to `indico.local`.

The default hostname for the Indico application is `indico.local`. To resolve it to your Ingress IP, edit [`/etc/hosts`](https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/kinetic/man5/hosts.5.html) file and add the following line accordingly:
