Installation & setup

📘

IMPORTANT

You need a separate Kubernetes cluster with Tekton 0.16.0 or later installed and configured.

Make sure that your Kubernetes cluster is connected to your Orka environment through VPN. You can use a VPN client to establish temporary connectivity, or you can create a site-to-site VPN tunnel to keep the connection alive at all times.

For more information about how to install the Tasks and the Orka configuration in your Kubernetes cluster, see here.

For more information about how to store your Orka user credentials and your VM SSH credentials, see here.

Single macOS build agent

The orka-full task lets you work with a single macOS build agent at a time. For more information about how to set up and use a single macOS build agent in Orka with Tekton, see here.
