Olares environment variables
Olares provides a highly customizable installation process through the use of environment variables. These variables can override default settings, enabling advanced configurations to suit your specific requirements.
Usage examples
To customize the installation process, you can set the environment variables before running the installation command. For example:
# Specify Kubernetes (k8s) instead of k3s
export KUBE_TYPE=k8s \
&& curl -sSfL https://olares.sh | bash -
Or, if you have already downloaded the installation script install.sh
:
# Specify Kubernetes (k8s) instead of k3s
export KUBE_TYPE=k8s && bash install.sh
Both methods achieve the same result. The environment variable KUBE_TYPE
will be passed to the script, and the script will use it to modify its behavior.
