Errors when deploying ibm-eventstreams-dev into local environment

ibm-eventstreams-dev will only work in ICP, it can not be installed into your local environment.

Assuming the above is from an ICP instance then I think there are two things to investigate:

• Take a look at the logs for the oauth2-client-reg job, as that should have run successfully to completion as part of the install, using kubectl logs, or the ICP UI.

• CrashLoopBackOff means that a container in the Kafka pod is starting, then crashing, then starting, then crashing, and never managing to start. Again, take a look at the logs, this time using kubectl logs to see the current logs and kubectl logs --previous to see the previous instance's logs, to get an understanding of why this is.

So I have two questions about the ibm-event-stream:
Does ibm-eventstreams-dev only supported on ICP? Can I install it on my local environment without ICP environment?

Event Streams will only run on IBM Cloud Private (ICP). That's because ICP provides more than just a Kubernetes environment. For example, authentication and user management for Event Streams is provided by the ICP platform.

That's what the es-ibm-es-ui-oauth2-client-reg job that is failing for you is trying to do - set up the OAuth integration with ICP. And that'll be why it failed for you in Kubernetes on your Mac - because some of the dependencies that Event Streams has will be missing.

How could I solve the ui pods problem in the ibm-eventstreams-dev?

I'm afraid you won't be able to fix this in just K8S on your Mac - all of the problems that you describe are a result of bits of ICP that Event Streams depends on being missing.

You can get a Community Edition of ICP (at no charge) from https://www.ibm.com/account/reg/us-en/signup?formid=urx-20295 - which would let you give it a try.
