Install Agent and Extensions

Overview

Before installing the agent, we recommend to make yourself familiar with the general Agent Architecture.

Prerequisites

To install the agent, you must be able to access the following URLs via HTTPS (443) on your target environment:

• https://platform.steadybit.com (Platform)

• https://packages.steadybit.com (.deb and .rpm packages; Linux installation only)

• https://get.steadybit.com (Setup Scripts; one-liner for Docker or Linux installation only)

• https://steadybit.github.io (Kubernetes installation via helm only)

• https://ghcr.io and https://github.com and https://*.docker.io (Container Images; Kubernetes and Docker installation only)

If you want to check if your environment is properly configured to install and run an agent, you run our env-checktool on the target machine:

curl -sfL https://get.steadybit.com/env-check.sh | sh -s

Container image retention. Steadybit publishes container images for the agent, extensions on ghcr.io/steadybit/... and retains each image for 1 year after publication. Older images — including tagged releases — are pruned automatically. If you need to keep specific versions available beyond that window, mirror them into your own registry before they expire.

Setup of Agents

We offer the following deployment options:

• Docker

• Kubernetes

• Host

More configuration options can be found in Advanced Configuration
