# Install

helm -n akash-services uninstall akash-node

helm install akash-node akash/akash-node -n akash-services
helm install akash-hostname-operator akash/akash-hostname-operator -n akash-services
helm install akash-ingress akash/akash-ingress -n ingress-nginx --set domain=$DOMAIN

# Must wait for the above node to finish.
helm install akash-provider akash/provider -n akash-services -f provider.yaml

# Check it
kubectl get pods -n akash-services

The above won't execute. Copy paste each line as you go. Replace {VARIABLE}s with your own values.

Cool stuff, this needs to be slightly polished and can go as Quick Provider Bootstrap instructions at https://docs.akash.network

Ideally, with some notes (or a link to such) on how to add more nodes (or remove the old ones) to the k3s cluster.

It does not contain persistent storage nor IP leases but these are available here, and can be just applied over:
