title: Outposts
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
An outpost is a single deployment of a passbook component, which can be deployed in a completely separate environment. Currently, only the Proxy Provider is supported as outpost.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upon creation, a service account and a token is generated. The service account only has permissions to read the outpost and provider configuration. This token is used by the Outpost to connect to passbook.
|
|
|
|
passbook can manage the deployment, updating and general lifecycle of an Outpost. To communicate with the underlying platforms on which the outpost is deployed, passbook has "Service Connections".
|
|
|
|
- If you've deployed passbook on docker-compose, passbook automatically create a Service Connection for the local docker socket.
|
|
- If you've deployed passbook on Kubernetes, with `kubernetesIntegration` set to true (default), passbook automatically creates a Service Connection for the local Kubernetes Cluster.
|
|
|
|
To deploy an outpost with these service connections, simply selected them during the creation of an Outpost. A background task is started, which creates the container/deployment. You can see that Status on the System Tasks page.
|
|
|
|
To deploy an outpost manually, see:
