Self-Hosted Installation Guide

Welcome to the SettleMint Platform self-hosted installation guide. This comprehensive guide will walk you through deploying the SettleMint Platform in your own infrastructure.

Installation Time

Complete installation typically takes 2-4 hours, depending on your infrastructure setup and familiarity with the components.

Guide Structure​

This installation guide is organized into three main sections, designed to be followed in order:

Start here to ensure your infrastructure meets all necessary specifications before proceeding. This section covers:

  • Kubernetes cluster requirements
  • Network and storage specifications
  • Access and security requirements

Using This Guide

We recommend:

  1. Read through each section before starting
  2. Complete all requirements and prerequisites
  3. Collect required information as you progress
  4. Follow the guides in order

Before You Begin​

Required Access​

  • Administrative access to your infrastructure
  • Ability to create/modify DNS records
  • Permission to deploy Kubernetes resources
  • Access to cloud resources (if applicable)

Technical Prerequisites​

  • Kubernetes cluster (1.20+)
  • kubectl CLI tool
  • helm (required for installation)
  • Basic understanding of container orchestration

Partner Support​

A thorough understanding of Kubernetes concepts, architecture, and operation is essential for successfully deploying and managing the SettleMint Platform. This includes expertise in:

  • Kubernetes cluster management
  • Helm chart deployment and customization
  • Infrastructure maintenance and monitoring
  • Security best practices

If your team lacks the in-house expertise required for managing these deployments, we strongly recommend collaborating with one of our certified partners. Our partners are specifically trained to:

  • Guide you through the installation process
  • Help with infrastructure setup and configuration
  • Provide ongoing maintenance and support
  • Assist with troubleshooting and optimizations

Additionally, our blockchain technology experts are available to support you with any technical questions or challenges you might encounter.

To connect with a certified partner or for direct assistance, please contact us at [email protected].

Information Collection​

Throughout the installation process, you'll need to collect configuration details from each prerequisite service. We've made this easy by including "Information Collection Boxes" in each guide.

How It Works​

  • Each prerequisite guide contains an Information Collection Box
  • Required values are clearly marked
  • Values are needed during platform installation
  • Keep track of sensitive information securely

Example Collection Box​

Here's what an Information Collection Box looks like in the prerequisite guides:

Required Values Example

This is a sample of what you'll see in the guides. For Redis setup, you would collect values like:

  • Endpoint: redis-master.default.svc.cluster.local
  • Password: your-secure-password
  • Port: 6379

Note: This is just an example. Actual values will be collected during the prerequisite setup.
