+# Event Stream Service Installation
+
+This current documentation will be very simple and make assumptions:
+
+- you are installing on BC Gov Openshift.
+- you have installed `oc` command line tools on your workstation that work on BC Gov Openshift.
+- you know how to get your Openshift token for running your `oc` command line tools.
+- you have installed [helm](https://helm.sh) on your workstation.
+- you have a basic understanding of helm and values files overrides.
+- you have access/permissions in your Openshift namespace to run `helm` and `oc` commands.
+
+**September 3, 2024** - we are using the `a191b5` namespaces to host the proof of concepts. These spaces have minimal resources (we can request more as we learn about the requirements).
+
+## Basic Instructions
+
+1. get your Openshift token
+2. use oc login to your namespace
+3. navigate to the <repo>/event-stream-service
+4. run the `helm` install / upgrade command
+
+```
+oc login --token=sha256~yk5BCjn0syJV0qXEyPk12s09v-RIdmTeLVdQmQrQEBc --server=https://api.silver.devops.gov.bc.ca:6443
+helm upgrade --install event-stream-service ./charts/event-stream-service -f ./charts/event-stream-service/values.yaml
+helm uninstall event-stream-service
+oc delete pvc -l 'app.kubernetes.io/instance=event-stream-service'
+```
+
+To set up a CHEFS instance to use this installation of Event Stream Service, you will need to know the server name and you will need the generated secret for the `chefs` account.
+
+Find the `ess-nginx-route` and note the location. The Event Stream Service server will the host (so no `https://` and no path).
+Find the `ess-nats-auth` and copy the value for `chefs_pwd`.
+
+### To remove
+
+1. get your Openshift token
+2. use oc login to your namespace
+3. run the `helm` uninstall command
+4. if permanently deleting, then run the `oc delete pvc` command to remove the persistent storage
+
+```
+oc login --token=sha256~yk5BCjn0syJV0qXEyPk12s09v-RIdmTeLVdQmQrQEBc --server=https://api.silver.devops.gov.bc.ca:6443
+helm uninstall event-stream-service
+oc delete pvc -l 'app.kubernetes.io/instance=event-stream-service'
+```
+
+## Future
+
+We will need to create different param override (values) files for each instance. Each namespace and instance will have different resource allocation that we need to tune.
+You can specify the '--values'/'-f' flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) file specified.
+
+```
+helm upgrade --install event-stream-service ./charts/event-stream-service -f ./charts/event-stream-service/values.yaml -f ./charts/event-stream-service/values-prod.yaml
+```
+
+This would apply our default values file (`values.yaml`) with any overrides found in `values-prod.yaml` taking priority.

+We need to store a password for Event Stream Service client. Since the server(s) will change along with the password, we will store the server and credentials in a secret per environment (DEV, TEST, PROD). Pull requests can use the same as DEV.
+
+```sh
+
+export ess_servers=<comma separated list of event stream servers>
+export ess_password=<chefs password from event stream service>

+```

 ## Deployment
 
 This application is currently designed as a single application pod deployment. It will host a static frontend containing all of the Vue.js resources and assets, and a Node.js backend which serves the API that the frontend requires. We are currently leveraging Openshift Routes with path based filtering to forward incoming traffic to the right deployment service.
