Getting Started

This page outlines the basic setup and requirements for running CogStack

See the Quickstart guide for a tutorial that will install a local kubernetes using Minikube, and run an instance of CogStack using Helm.

Models

The primary thing you will need to arrange is a trained model to be used for the natural language processing functionality of CogStack. We provide small free models, though to get access to better performing models please contact us

Technologies and Tools

Our recommended deployment method is on Kubernetes by using Helm charts

These are some of the terms and technologies relevant to deploying CogStack:

• GitOps
• Docker
• Terraform
• Kubernetes
• kubectl
• Helm
• Ansible
• Portainer

See the official documentation on these tools for the best documentation for installation and setup. Not all of these are needed depending on which deployment method is used.

Cloud Accounts & Permissions

If you plan to deploy on cloud providers like AWS, Azure, or OpenStack, ensure you have the appropriate accounts set up with necessary permissions. Refer to the respective provider’s documentation for guidance.
