Install the operator and ingress controller

Use Helm to install the operator and Traefik ingress controller.

First, install the operator.

Create a namespace for the operator.

$ kubectl create namespace sample-weblogic-operator-ns

Create a service account for the operator in the operator’s namespace.

$ kubectl create serviceaccount -n sample-weblogic-operator-ns sample-weblogic-operator-sa

Set up Helm with the location of the operator Helm chart using this format: helm repo add <helm-chart-repo-name> <helm-chart-repo-url>
```
$ helm repo add weblogic-operator https://oracle.github.io/weblogic-kubernetes-operator/charts --force-update  
```
Install the operator using this format: helm install <helm-release-name> <helm-chart-repo-name>/weblogic-operator ...
```
$ helm install sample-weblogic-operator weblogic-operator/weblogic-operator \
  --namespace sample-weblogic-operator-ns \
  --set serviceAccount=sample-weblogic-operator-sa \
  --wait
```
This Helm release deploys the operator with the default behavior of managing Domains in all Kubernetes namespaces with the label weblogic-operator=enabled.
Verify that the operator’s pod is running by listing the pods in the operator’s namespace. You should see one for the operator and one for the conversion webhook , a singleton Deployment in your Kubernetes cluster that automatically and transparently upgrades domain resources.
```
$ kubectl get pods -n sample-weblogic-operator-ns
```

Verify that the operator is up and running by viewing the operator pod’s log.

$ kubectl logs -n sample-weblogic-operator-ns -c weblogic-operator deployments/weblogic-operator

Create a Traefik ingress controller.

Set up Helm with the location of the Traefik Helm chart using this format: helm repo add <helm-chart-repo-name> <helm-chart-repo-url>
```
$ helm repo add traefik https://helm.traefik.io/traefik --force-update
```
Create a namespace for the ingress controller.
```
$ kubectl create namespace traefik
```

Install Traefik using this format: helm install <helm-release-name> <helm-chart-repo-name>/traefik ...

$ helm install traefik-operator traefik/traefik \
    --namespace traefik \
    --set "ports.web.nodePort=30305" \
    --set "ports.websecure.nodePort=30443" \
    --set "kubernetes.namespaces={traefik}"

This deploys the Traefik controller with plain text node port 30305, SSL node port 30443, and kubernetes.namespaces specifically set.
