Soam Vasani d248bb89ea Install docs improvements
Keep install docs in one place INSTALL.md instead of two.

Use github releases for all YAMLs and CLIs. This has a few advantages:
 (a) it makes releasess more transparent
 (b) all yaml/cli files are transferred over HTTPS
 (c) CLIs and YAMLs being from the same release ensures that people
     always get compatible versions (we will still occasionally break
     api compatibility, until beta)

Running Fission on your Cluster

Setup Kubernetes

You can install Kubernetes on your laptop with minikube:

Install and start Kubernetes on OSX:

  $ curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x kubectl && sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin
  $ curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.16.0/minikube-darwin-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
  $ minikube start

Or, install and start Kubernetes on Linux:

  $ curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl && chmod +x kubectl && sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin
  $ curl -Lo minikube https://storage.googleapis.com/minikube/releases/v0.16.0/minikube-linux-amd64 && chmod +x minikube && sudo mv minikube /usr/local/bin/
  $ minikube start

Or, you can use Google Container Engine's free trial to get a 3 node cluster.

Verify access to the cluster

  $ kubectl version

Get and Run Fission: Minikube or Local cluster

If you're using minikube or no cloud provider, use these commands to set up services with NodePort. This exposes fission on ports 31313 and 31314.

  $ kubectl create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-rbac.yaml
  $ kubectl create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-nodeport.yaml

Set the FISSION_URL and FISSION_ROUTER environment variables. FISSION_URL is used by the fission CLI to find the server. FISSION_URL should be prefixed with a http://. (FISSION_ROUTER is only needed for the examples below to work.)

If you're using minikube, use these commands:

  $ export FISSION_URL=http://$(minikube ip):31313
  $ export FISSION_ROUTER=$(minikube ip):31314

Get and Run Fission: GKE or other Cloud

If you're using GKE or any other cloud provider that supports the LoadBalancer service type, use these commands:

  $ kubectl create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-rbac.yaml
  $ kubectl create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cloud.yaml

Save the external IP addresses of controller and router services in FISSION_URL and FISSION_ROUTER, respectively. Wait for services to get IP addresses (check this with kubectl --namespace fission get svc). Then:

  $ export FISSION_URL=http://$(kubectl --namespace fission get svc controller -o=jsonpath='{..ip}')
  $ export FISSION_ROUTER=$(kubectl --namespace fission get svc router -o=jsonpath='{..ip}')

Get and Run Fission: OpenShift

If you're using OpenShift, it's possible to run Fission on it! The deployment template needs to be deployed as a user with cluster-admin permissions (like system:admin), as it needs to create a ClusterRole for deploying function containers from the fission namespace/project.

Identically as with Kubernetes, you need to set the FISSION_URL and FISSION_ROUTER environment variables. If you're using minishift, use these commands:

  $ export FISSION_URL=http://$(minishift ip):31313¬
  $ export FISSION_ROUTER=$(minishift ip):31314¬

Using Minishift or Local Cluster

If you're using minishift or no cloud provider, use these commands to set up services with NodePort. This exposes fission on ports 31313 and 31314.

  $ oc login -u system:admin
  $ oc create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-openshift.yaml
  $ oc create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-nodeport.yaml

Using other clouds

If you're using any cloud provider that supports the LoadBalancer service type, use these commands:

$ oc login -u system:admin
$ oc create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-openshift.yaml
$ oc create -f https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cloud.yaml

After these steps, you should be able to run fission client as with kubernetes.

Install the client CLI

Get the CLI binary for Mac:

  $ curl https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cli-osx > fission && chmod +x fission && sudo mv fission /usr/local/bin/

Or Linux:

  $ curl https://github.com/fission/fission/releases/download/nightly20170621/fission-cli-linux > fission && chmod +x fission && sudo mv fission /usr/local/bin/

For Windows, you can use the linux binary on WSL. Or you can download this windows executable: fission.exe

Run an example

Finally, you're ready to use Fission!

  $ fission env create --name nodejs --image fission/node-env

  $ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fission/fission/master/examples/nodejs/hello.js > hello.js

  $ fission function create --name hello --env nodejs --code hello.js
  
  $ fission route create --method GET --url /hello --function hello
  
  $ curl http://$FISSION_ROUTER/hello
  Hello, world!

Enable Persistent Function Logs (Optional)

Fission uses InfluxDB to store logs and fluentd to forward them from function pods into InfluxDB.

  $ kubectl create -f fission-logger.yaml

That's it for the basic setup. You can now use following command to view function logs:

  $ fission function logs --name hello

You can also list the all the pods that have hosted the function (including ones that aren't alive any more) and view logs for a particular pod:

  $ fission function pods --name hello

  $ fission function logs --name hello --pod <pod name>

Use the web based Fission-ui (Optional)

Fission-ui is the ui for fission maintained by the community. It allows users to observe and manage fission. It also provides a simple online development environment for serverless functions.

To setup Fission-ui with fission in k8s is simple:

  # Run this after fission is deployed
  $ kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fission/fission-ui/master/docker/fission-ui.yaml

Then open http://node-ip:31319 to use Fission-ui.
