Quick Install (Linux)

K3s Installation

To run Bionic we'll install a very lightweight Kubernetes onto our system using K3s

1. Install K3s

sudo curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_EXEC='server --disable=traefik --write-kubeconfig-mode="644"' sh -
mkdir -p ~/.kube
cp /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml ~/.kube/config && sed -i "s,127.0.0.1,$(hostname -I | awk '{print $1}'),g" ~/.kube/config

2. Install K9s (Optional)

curl -L -s https://github.com/derailed/k9s/releases/download/v0.24.15/k9s_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz | tar xvz -C /tmp
sudo mv /tmp/k9s /usr/local/bin
rm -rf k9s_Linux_x86_64.tar.gz

3. Check your K3s install

kubectl get pods
# No resources found in default namespace.

4. Install the Bionic CLI

export BIONIC_VERSION=v1.8.26
curl -OL https://github.com/bionic-gpt/bionic-gpt/releases/download/${BIONIC_VERSION}/bionic-cli-linux && chmod +x ./bionic-cli-linux && sudo mv ./bionic-cli-linux /usr/local/bin/bionic

Try it out

bionic -V

5. Install the application into K3s

bionic install

If you get the error below then wait a bit longer. The cluster is still coming up.

Error: ApiError: "service unavailable\n": Failed to parse error data (ErrorResponse { status: "503 Service Unavailable", message: "\"service unavailable\\n\"", reason: "Failed to parse error data", code: 503 })

The Finished Result

After a while of container creation you should see all the pods running and then be able to access Bionic.

Run the User Interface

You can then access the front end from http://localhost and you'll be redirected to a registration screen.

Registration

The first user to register with BionicGPT will become the system administrator. The information is kept local to your machine and your data is not sent anywhere.

Uninstall Bionic

First we can remove K3s entirely. K3s comes with it's own uninstall script.

k3s-uninstall.sh

Then you can remove the bionic cli

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/bionic

And also remove k9s if you want to.

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/k9s
