Getting started deploying workloads

[jimmarino]

Hi there,

I want to get started deploying a simple Docker container and then graduate to a more complex use case (deploying to a K8S cluster using a Helm chart). This would be useful to document for newcomers like me to the project, which I can help provide.

I've built and successfully run the Fulcrum API server with Postgres, which was straightforward thanks to the existing documentation. I'd like to understand how to get an agent running that can poll and process Jobs that deploy a simple container. Can you provide some pointers for me to work through and document?

Thanks!

Hi Jim,
sorry for the super late reply.

The easiest way to test the core with an agent is to use the test agent: https://github.com/fulcrumproject/agent-test, which should be Dockerized.

Starting next week, we’ll begin working on a deployment of the core on Kubernetes (likely using Helm), and we’ll definitely include the test agent as part of that setup. You’re more than welcome to contribute—even just reviewing the pull request would be very helpful.
We’ll keep you posted as we make progress.

Thanks for your interest!
