Install Agones using YAML

We can install Agones to the cluster using an install.yaml file.

Installing Agones

Installing Agones using the pre-generated install.yaml file is the quickest, simplest way to get Agones up and running in your Kubernetes cluster:

kubectl create namespace agones-system
kubectl apply --server-side -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleforgames/agones/main/install/yaml/install.yaml

You can also find the install.yaml in the latest agones-install zip from the releases archive.

Customizing your install

To change the configurable parameters in the install.yaml file, you can use helm template to generate a custom file locally without needing to use helm to install Agones into your cluster.

The following example sets the featureGates and generateTLS helm parameters and creates a customized install-custom.yaml file (note that the pull command was introduced in Helm version 3):

helm pull --untar https://agones.dev/chart/stable/agones-1.40.0.tgz && \
cd agones && \
helm template agones-manual --namespace agones-system  . \
  --set agones.controller.generateTLS=false \
  --set agones.allocator.generateTLS=false \
  --set agones.allocator.generateClientTLS=false \
  --set agones.crds.cleanupOnDelete=false \
  --set agones.featureGates="PlayerTracking=true" \
  > install-custom.yaml

Uninstalling Agones

To uninstall/delete the Agones deployment and delete agones-system namespace:

kubectl delete fleets --all --all-namespaces
kubectl delete gameservers --all --all-namespaces
kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleforgames/agones/main/install/yaml/install.yaml
kubectl delete namespace agones-system

Note: It may take a couple of minutes until all resources described in install.yaml file are deleted.
