Guided Deployment using Buckit Manager

This page explains the deployment choices available from the Buckit Manager (bm) web interface.

Buckit Manager can prepare two kinds of new deployments:

Install Buckit Manager

Install bm on the system you will use to prepare or manage the deployment.

curl -fsSL https://buckit-io.github.io/bm/install.sh | sh
irm https://buckit-io.github.io/bm/install.ps1 | iex

The installer downloads the latest stable build for your operating system and architecture and installs it into your user account.

Start the Web Interface

Run the following command on the system where you installed bm:

bm web

By default, bm web starts the application on http://127.0.0.1:9443/ and opens your default browser automatically.

Choose a Deployment Type

Open the Buckit Manager web interface and select Deploy a new cluster.

If bm web is running on macOS or Windows, Buckit Manager asks where Buckit should be deployed:

  • This computer only: prepare a local single-node Buckit deployment on the same computer.

  • Remote servers: install Buckit on one or more Linux servers over SSH as a managed systemd service.

If bm web is running on Linux, Buckit Manager opens the remote servers deployment wizard directly.
