Installing a Wallet

Overview

This section of the FPX user guide describes the installation steps required to deploy a new Wallet in the FPX ecosystem. A Wallet is often deployed in conjunction with the Authorization Server (AS), however this is not strictly required.

This document should be read by anyone responsible for the deployment of an FPX Wallet as well as its configuration. It is important to note that while FPX and all its components can be installed on other environments outside of Kubernetes due to its containerized nature, these other installation methods are not officially supported.

Assumptions

This guide includes a number of assumptions, including that the reader is familiar with Kubernetes, and its core concepts such as deployments, pods, services, ingress. As the Wallet deployment package is a Helm chart, an understanding of Helm charts and how they are configured and deployed will be helpful. These concepts will be crucial in an understanding of the installation steps as well as post-install maintenance and monitoring of a Wallet.
